WK: Alt/Pop/Rock #716

Twenty-nine tracks of July 2016 alt-pop-rock programming — the mid-summer Weekend Kickoff edition leaning into the alt-rock-revival peaks of the year. The Jayhawks anchor the alt-country and roots-rock bridge; The Strokes bring the early-’00s NYC rock-revival catalog that was finding renewed playlist relevance; The Kills carry the late-night blues-punk peak; Red Hot Chili Peppers close the run with the ‘The Getaway’-era release-cycle peaks. Built for an outdoor July-evening pre-game — sequenced to hold its energy across a long cookout-into-bar transition. The mid-2016 alt-rock weekend-rotation snapshot.
