About The Generations 

Founded in 2023 by Chicago musician and philanthropist Rob Stepen The Generations blends nostalgic 80s rock with modern influences. Their debut album Alternate View released in October of 2024 is the product of Stepen’s journey through the 1980s Chicago rock scene. After recording two tracks in 1985 “Have You Seen My Heart” and “Your Way” the tapes were lost for decades until rediscovered in 2023. The tracks were restored by Steve Albini and Taylor Hales at Electrical Audio mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service and pressed at Third Man Records in Detroit. The album blends the energy of 1980s rock with a modern sensibility creating a sound that resonates with both nostalgic and contemporary audiences.
