Dunedin Sound

Jangling guitars, flat vocals, tape hiss as texture — pop songs made at the bottom of the world.

Seattle Grunge

Heavy riffs played by people raised on punk, recorded cheap in the Pacific Northwest and then sold worldwide.

Boston Alternative

College radio, cheap rehearsal rooms and loud guitars: the US underground's most literate, least glamorous engine room.
