Heavy Alternative is a subgenre of Alternative Rock that mixes with Post-Hardcore and is characterized by its heaviness and use of pedals; it is a type of Alternative Rock that is much heavier and at the same time catchy with its effects on the guitars. The band Hum made this kind of sound in their album You'd Prefer An Astronaut before many bands did it, so they are considered as one of the pioneer bands in this musical genre.
