The alternative music radar for July 7 is pleasingly scattered: <a href="/tags/ezra-collective">Ezra Collective</a> brings warm Caribbean grooves, <a href="/tags/die-anstalt">Die Anstalt</a> brings Berlin synth-punk menace, <a href="/tags/ada-lea">Ada Lea</a> sings of friendship tension, <a href="/tags/uche-yara">UCHE YARA</a> scans the body, and <a href="/tags/tanner-dane">Tanner Dane</a> files breakup lessons.
Add punk tracks from <a href="/tags/the-offsailors">The Offsailors</a>, <a href="/tags/tvod">TVOD</a>, and <a href="/tags/iron-linings">Iron Linings</a>, plus the opening of the massive <a href="/tags/mad-cool-festival">Mad Cool Festival</a> in Madrid, and suddenly this Tuesday looks less like a weekday and more like a small music festival inside your browser tabs.
