Alison’s Playground is rooted in modern British rock and pop shaped around song-based writing and strong vocal melodies.
Driven by a strong female lead vocalist, giving their music a clear focus on melody and lyrical delivery rather than instrumental experimentation, their style fits into a 1990s-inspired modern rock and pop aesthetic, with catchy hooks, guitar and band-oriented arrangements typical of indie pop/rock.
The tracks tend to be concise and structured like pop/rock songs with memorable choruses, verse-chorus form and radio-friendly pacing. With clean vocals and direct emotional themes it is not overly aggressive or punk-leaning.
With polished production its closest stylistic matches include The Cranberries, Sleeper, Garbage, The Sundays and comparisons have been made with Mazzy Star, Elastica and Belly.

Track 2, “Coke Bottle” is a shorter, blues-inspired upbeat track pairing pop melodies with rock instruments. Finally, track 3, “I Heard A Song” is a brief, more intimate pop ballad, rounding out the release.
