Biography:
Asking Alexandria. They have risen from nothing to greatness in little over a year. 2009 saw the boys from England release their debut album 'Stand Up and Scream' to an audience just begging for something slightly different, and the 5 english lads delivered. 'Stand up and Scream' has done better than anyone could have hoped for. 2009 was spent touring with many great bands across the United States, including, Enter Shikari, A Static Lullaby, Alesana and many more. 2010 has the boys touring relentlessly world over and writing the next chapter in their lives. With a hectic year ahead of them Asking Alexandria look set to take the world by storm. If you didn't hear of them in 2009, 2010 is the year everyone will be talking about Asking Alexandria....
Asking Alexandria to Embark on 'Reckless and Relentless' Tour
Asking Alexandria have finally announced that their new album, 'Reckless and Relentless,' which they discussed with Noisecreep when they popped by our offices for a Creep Show, will be released in April.
The band will also lead up to the album's release with tons of touring, namely a headline tour, called 'The Reckless and Relentless Tour,' with Emmure, Chiodos, Miss May I, Evergreen Terrace and Lower Than Atlantis rounding out the bill. The tour begins March 11.
Asking Alexandria have stepped up their stage show, production and lighting on this tour and will debut brand new songs from 'Reckless and Relentless' for fans. The tour will certainly show another side of the band. Asking Alexandria also revealed, during their Creep Show interview, the fact that they don't get drunk before taking the stage anymore, so the bar has certainly been raised by and for the band in the live setting.
