Ok I need some help. My cover band has decided to ditch the classic rock songs we had in our set. We are now mostly doing songs from the 90's and some early to mid 00"s. How would you classify it? Modern Rock maybe? I hate to use "Modern Rock" in our promos and have people expect a lot of brand new songs.
Here are a few songs we are doing if that helps.
Bush - Little Things
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Sponge - Plowed
Better than Ezra - Good
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
The Darkness - I Believe in A Thing Called Love
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! |

mjac28 - Alt Rock is probably the right choice.  I thought "Alternative" was too broad but "Alternative Rock" probably fits just right. I guess I just thought about it so much I missed the obvious answer. Thanks! |

I don't like the term "modern rock" either. 90s rock works too, even if some of the songs aren't really it gives people the right idea.
