WXXP 100.7 FM - Double X2 - XX2 Double X2 - A modern alternative to alternative. Pretend that grunge was never very important. It's the second two decades of alternative rock on one station.

What if you could hear everything we missed in America plus the grunge too (just on a smaller scale). Hear all the musical styles that ruled the rest of the alternative world from trip hop to techno, grebo to shoegazing, Britpop, Electro and more.

Hi to any subscribers to this page! XX-2 has always been a tricky thing for us. We wanted to focus on the 90s alternative sound, pre -grunge in AltRock America. Now that we have slid the main XX Radio station into early 90s music as well, XX-2 will refocus to late 90s and to today concentrating on the cooler side of alternative. Still no grunge because who needs that, plenty of boring stations still play that, you don't need another one to. More than anything though, the XX-2 station will be undergoing constant musical tweaks and we would appreciate any feedback after you give it a listen. Feel free to say what you love and what you hate.

The XX-2 Story

Just pretend that grunge was never very important and you can hear everything we missed in America plus the grunge too, just on a smaller scale. Hear all the musical styles that ruled the rest of the alternative world from trip hop to techno, grebo to shoegazing, Britpop, Electro and more. It's the second two decades of alternative rock on one station.

We started the station to some success on Live365 but then they went belly up. We brought back XX on Radionomy and hope to follow there soon with XX-2 so stay tuned for info!
