Alternative TV (ATV) is a pivotal force in the UK post-punk and experimental scene, formed in 1977 by Mark Perry and Alex Fergusson. Known for fusing reggae-influenced rhythms with abrasive punk energy and experimental textures, ATV helped broaden the sonic palette of early indie and underground music. Today, ATV remains a touchstone for fans seeking a direct, uncompromising approach to sound and performance. This page gathers ATV's biography, notable discography, and their 2025 activity, including new releases and live dates.
