Type A Rocks is a high-energy 90s/2000s cover band based in Austin, Texas, delivering unforgettable live performances at weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private parties across the state. After years of touring in original bands, we came together as friends who shared one goal: to bring back the rock anthems people love from the golden era of Grunge, Pop-Punk, Emo, Alternative, and Indie. Inspired by the way the Spazmatics revived the ‘80s, we set out to do the same for the 90s and 2000s — with a more guitar-driven, crowd-rocking edge.
With over 15 years of experience and a catalog of 170+ songs, every Type A show is uniquely tailored to the audience, venue, and vibe. We’re known for performances that sound remarkably close to the original artists — while still adding our own energy and personality. Whether we’re playing a wedding reception at the Fairmont, a company party at Kalahari, or a packed night at Speakeasy Austin, we bring the same attention to detail, crowd interaction, and professional attitude that’s earned us a loyal following (and the title of 2024’s Best Local Band in Dripping Springs).
We’ve rocked stages at ACL Moody Theatre, Q2 Stadium, Round Rock Tavern, and beyond — and we’re always up for making your event the next one guests talk about long after the music ends.
Our Story
How It All Started – A Band Built for the Crowd
Before Type A filled venues across Texas, we were four longtime friends who had played in separate touring bands. As our lives evolved, so did our purpose — and we realized there was a massive need for live performances of the unforgettable rock hits from the 90s and 2000s. So, we set out to revive this great era of music — with more distortion, more singalongs, and zero ego.
What We Play
From Grunge to Pop-Punk – The Soundtrack of a Generation
Our setlist features over 170 songs from across the rock spectrum: Grunge, Alternative, Emo, Indie, and Pop-Punk. Think Blink-182, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Nirvana, Third Eye Blind, and beyond. We don’t just play the songs — we own them. Every show is tailored to the event, audience, and venue, ensuring no two performances are the same.
What Makes Us Different
Professional, Fun, and Always Audience-Focused
We’ve built a reputation for being easy to work with, quick to respond, and ultra-professional — without sacrificing the fun. Planners love our flexibility. Guests love our energy. And time after time, we hear the same thing: “You sound just like the original band, but even more fun live.”

We had Type A for our office holiday party. My co-workers were singing and dancing along all the way from the first song to last song.

Because of Type A, my husband actually LOVES the song "Teenage Dirtbag" now! That's a major win in my book!
