Hailing from the United Kingdom, AskingAlexandria have been breaking out of the underground music scene with a sound that is both heavy and hard-hitting, yet catchy and melodic. Time and time again, the same regurgitated hardcore sound is shot out and fed to kids all over the world. AskingAlexandria decided they wanted to try something a little different, they felt like showing everyone that there was more to hardcore than just breakdowns and hardcore riffs. Combining hardcore music with European Trance, soft catchy melodies and a sound more mature than just your average play by numbers hardcore outfit, AskingAlexandria are here, and they are here to stay. In 2009 the boys released their debut album, Stand Up and Scream, which has taken the world by storm. AskingAlexandria has been touring relentlessly and making their mark on the hardcore scene with fists pumping. 2010 was a huge year and now we look forward to 2011 and the bands highly anticipated second album Reckless and Relentless! Don't be left behind, Join the party! Asking Alexandria!
