NZ Alternative Rock

NZ Alternative Rock is a genre of music that originated in New Zealand in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy use of distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and often politically charged lyrics. It is a mix of punk, grunge, and indie rock, and is often seen as a more aggressive and edgy version of the indie rock sound. Popular NZ Alternative Rock bands include The Clean, The Chills, The Bats, and The Verlaines.
