Are WZRD and The Housemartins both Alternative bands?
WZRD (band) WZRD (pronounced one letter at a time, W-Z-R-D) is an American alternative rock band, composed of longtime friends and frequent collaborators, Dot da Genius and Kid Cudi. Formed in New York City in 2010, Cudi originally named the band Wizard, inspired by the Black Sabbath song of the same name. However, Cudi renamed the band on two separate occasions, the first being in April 2011 to 2 Be Continuum, explaining: "I needed something more original, something different...". The second time occurred in November 2011, to the band's current namesake. Their eponymous debut album "WZRD", was released in February 2012, peaking at number three on the US "Billboard" 200 chart. The album was supported by the lead singles, "Brake" and "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie".
