Find the perfect Alternative Band for your event!

Alternative rock (also called alternative music, college music or indie) is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. The term "alternative" and "indie" were coined to describe bands on independent record labels that did not fit into the mainstream genres of the time. Much of alt rock is influenced by folk music, reggae, electronic music and jazz. Alternative rock icons include Nirvana, The Feelies, Violent Femmes and R.E.M., to name just a few.
