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" [cite web |url=http://www.myspace.com/alternatives23 |title=Alter Natives MySpace page] and as having "connections to progressive and space rock, albeit an unusually concise, powerful, and disciplined version of those genres." [cite web |url=http://www.starpulse.com/music/Alter-Natives/P12193/0/R481/3/0/ |title=Alter Natives at StarPulse] Though only four albums were released, material from a fifth unreleased album is available in rough form on the band's MySpace page.
