The Alter Natives were an instrumental band in Richmond, VA in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their work has been described as a combination of "metal/tropical/surf"[1] and as having "connections to progressive and space rock, albeit an unusually concise, powerful, and disciplined version of those genres."[2] Though only four albums were released, material from a fifth unreleased album is available in rough form on the band's MySpace page.[3]
