The Tune Talk Ep. 5: Alternative
Alternative, a sub-genre of rock, and similar to indie, was created for musicians that felt like their music didn’t fit the stereotypical rock music. Alternative music peaked in the 70s and 90s in hotspots like the US and the UK. Bands like Talking Heads, Gorillaz, and Nirvana are just some of the few bands that dominated this genre.

The Tune Talk Ep. 4: Indie Rock
Stemming from the broad genre of rock, indie rock was curated to umbrella artists and bands that weren't tied down by big record labels and often had more freedom in their music. Some of the most popular indie rock bands are Nirvana, Pixies, and Arctic Monkeys. In this episode host, Isabel Wright talks with Katrin Lelyushkina about her favorite indie rock songs.
