Top Alternative Rock
Acts Of The 2000s

Though alternative or indie rock had
made its greatest mark in the 1990s,
the first 10 years of the new millennium
offered a plethora of bands that
continued the genre’s dominance while
not necessarily transitioning into emo
rock and compromising to pop. Here
are some of the most acclaimed bands
of the era.
The Strokes: Offering a sound that’s
reminiscent of the Velvet Underground
while offering heavy riffs and keeping a
punk spirit, this New York-based band
broke into the scene with their single
“Last Night.”

The National: The critical acclaim
gained by their album “Boxer” was
followed by the more subdued yet
powerfully written and arranged “High
Violet.” The two albums catapulted
them to success with songs like
“Mistaken for Strangers,” “Terrible
Love,” and “Squalor Victoria.” The
band was even enlisted for a rendition
of a Game of Thrones ballad.
Interpol: Another New York-based
alternative act to ride the airwaves in
the early 200os is Interpol. Indie fans
flocked to this band for the goth-like
renditions and strong lyricism, as
evidenced by tracks like “C’Mere,”
“Rest My Chemistry,” and “NARC.”

Death Cab For Cutie: Vocalist Ben
Gibbard crooned his way to
international acclaim and drove the
band’s success with singles like “Title
and Registration,” “I Will Possess Your
Heart,” and “What Sarah Said,” the last
being a poetic and powerful take on
love and mortality. How can one not
get haunted by this song, when what
Sarah said is “love is watching someone
die?”
