About Asking Alexandria

Formed in 2003 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Asking Alexandria fuse both melodic and hardcore style vocals with heavier, more hardcore musical elements. In August 2006 they signed their first deal with label ‘Sonicwave International’, by January 2007 the band was offered their second contract with label ‘Hangmans Joke’. The bands first E.P ‘Tomorrow.Hope.Goodbye’ was self released and brought the band a lot of interest and exposure from all over the world. Spots to open up for Boy Sets Fire, Pennywise, Jimmy Eat World and countless other bands we’re soon offered to the band as well as airplay on international radio station ‘Split Infinity radio’ and countless interviews with local magazines and news papers gaining the band even more exposure leaving Asking Alexandria a force to be reckoned with amongst the local scene. Asking Alexandria are known for their energetic live shows, which have been described as a "Visceral, gut-punching" act and their "accomplished, fresh new sound".

REVIEWS:
"In the radio business, we get constantly plagued by copied, re-hashed, re-done music all the time. But thankfully, it seems that when things start to get tiresome and repetitive, a new band breaks loose and really sets themselves apart. This time around, the band is Asking Alexandria. Not only do their songs exude a passion for their craft and a uniqueness about their approach, but they also hold the all important radio appeal. Among the listeners of my show, the vast majority are waiting anxiously for more material from the guys in Asking Alexandria. They are ravenous. 'Writing Her Ballad' is a definitive single that sums up everything this band is about and everything the fans love about them. Intensity, drive, and skill. I'll be the first to say, I'm glad Asking Alexandria makes the music they do, and so are my listeners."
Daric Ford, Host of 'The Asylum' on Split Infinity Radio, (USA)

Asking Alexandria are here for one reason, and one reason only. To Rock, and Roll, and maybe steal your daughter. Their plunging licks and singsong vocals combine to produce the aural equivalent of TNT. While the band still hold onto that visceral metal feel, Asking Alexandria bring melody and harmony to the party, creating a hybrid thats musically accomplished whilst rocking like a dingy in a tsunami. 4/5

The more talented musicians you seek in the UAE, the more you will find, such as Dubais Hardcore act Asking Alexandria. Asking Alexandria are a young and creative metal band who should mature into a formidable talent if they keep growing at their current rate.

Winning band Asking Alexandria were the only group to perform their own written and originally composed songs. The 6 piece rock band is one of the UAEs more established and known bands, a favourite amongst the local scene. Their live act is as tight as any international rock sensation and their attitude more professional than most! Asking Alexandria is a band with a very bright future ahead of them. 5/5
