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.
The Stepkids The Stepkids are an American psychedelic soul band composed of Tim Walsh, Jeff Gitelman, and Dan Edinberg. Their early live performances were characterized by kaleidoscopic projections by experimental video artists David Pond and Jesse Mann, consuming the stage with light for a multi-sensory experience while the band plays.
