Are WZRD and The Housemartins both Alternative bands?
The Housemartins The Housemartins were an English Alternative rock band formed in Hull who were active in the 1980s. Many of the Housemartins' lyrics were a mixture of Marxist politics and Christianity, reflecting singer Paul Heaton's beliefs at the time (the back cover of "London 0 Hull 4" contained the message, "Take Jesus – Take Marx – Take Hope"). The group's cover version of the Isley Brothers' "Caravan of Love" was a UK Number 1 single in December 1986.
Tree, Swallows, Houses Tree, Swallows, Houses is an EP by the alternative rock band Maps & Atlases. It was released in 2007 on Sargent House.
