Spartan Fidelity
Spartan Fidelity is a Tennessee-based alternative rock duo made up of brothers Cinjun Tate (vocals, guitar) and Shelby Tate (vocals, guitar, keyboards) in 2004. They are both former members of Remy Zero. The name Spartan Fidelity is derived from rearranging the name of an Alabama insurance company, Fidelity Spartan. Career Thus far, Spartan Fidelity has produced one album, ''Excava-11'', which is ostensibly the first in a three-part series. As of December 2019, a release date for any second album has still not been set. To bridge the wait in between, the duo has released a set of singles and EPs. For some time, the band’s official website listed several songs that were to be included on their second album, ''Excava-22'', but after a while these were deleted and the website eventually lapsed and is no longer active. In the past, the band has also made available songs for free download, three of which were released around the time of ''Excava-11''. These include "Another Sad Fa ...

Alternative Rock
Alternative rock (also known as alternative music, alt-rock or simply alternative) is a category of rock music that evolved from the independent music underground of the 1970s. Alternative rock acts achieved mainstream success in the 1990s with the likes of the grunge, shoegaze, and Britpop subgenres in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. During this period, many record labels were looking for "alternatives", as many corporate rock, hard rock, and glam metal acts from the 1980s were beginning to grow stale throughout the music industry. The emergence of Generation X as a cultural force in the 1990s also contributed greatly to the rise of alternative rock. "Alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream or commercial rock or pop. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to musicians influenced by the musical style or independent, DIY ethos of late-1970s punk rock.di Perna, Alan.

It was composed of August Cinjun Tate (vocals, guitar), Shelby Tate (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Cedric LeMoyne (bass), Jeffrey Cain (guitar, vocals), and Louis Schefano (drums), who was later replaced by Gregory Slay (drums, percussion). History Before Remy Zero had released any full-length albums, Radiohead found their demo tape and invited them to be part of the US tour for ''The Bends''. After that, Remy Zero moved from Alabama to Los Angeles to record their first album. The self-titled record received little recognition or sales. The subsequent album, ''Villa Elaine'', generated some acclaim. ''Villa Elaine'' was recorded when the band was living in an apartment of the same name in Hollywood. Remy Zero's third album, ''The Golden Hum'', was also received well. A 50-second version of the song " Save Me" from ''The Golden Hum'' was used as the theme song for WB/CW's ''Smallville'' during ...

Yoshida Brothers
The are Japanese shamisenist musicians who have released several albums on the Domo Records label. The two brothers are performers of the traditional Japanese music style of Tsugaru-jamisen which originated in northern Japan. They debuted in 1999 in Japan as a duo playing the shamisen. Their first album sold over 100,000 copies and made them minor celebrities in Japan, a fact that surprised the Yoshida Brothers themselves. They have since attracted an international audience. Their music has been a fusion of the rapid and percussive Tsugaru-jamisen style along with Western and other regional musical influences. In addition to performing songs that are only on the shamisen, they also use instruments such as drums and synthesizers.
