The first bands to earn the nomenclature "alternative" bands were American, not British, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Sonic Youth, REM, Fugazi (not to mention king of all cosmos Nirvana) were all American acts centric to the beginnings of "alternative" music.
I absolutely hate the term, though.
