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.
Dance House Children Dance House Children was the early 1990s musical group of Ronnie Martin and Jason Martin that was the precursor to The Brothers Martin. In the liner notes of "Jesus", Ronnie described its music as trendy, club-oriented music. The group was signed to the Blonde Vinyl label and released two albums, "Songs & Stories" (1991) and "Jesus" (1992). "Jesus" was rereleased by Millennium Eight Records for a limited time.
