Biography
:
English
Metalcore band Asking Alexandria's origins began in Dubai, where lead
guitarist Ben Bruce first developed a group around the name. After
releasing one album, The Irony of Your Perfection, the group
disbanded. Bruce returned to York in North Yorkshire, England. Using
the name Asking Alexandria, he formed a new group with no musical or
personnel ties to his former band from Dubai.
In
2008, the band began as a six-piece with synthesist Ryan Binns. Binns
departed before the recording of the band's debut album, leaving
Asking Alexandria a quintet. In January of 2009, bassist Joe
Lancaster was replaced by Sam Bettley. Since then Asking Alexandria
has included Bruce, Bettley, vocalist Danny Worsnop, rhythm guitarist
Cameron Liddell and drummer James Cassells.
Recorded
in spring 2009, the band's first LP, Stand Up & Scream, was
released later that year on September 15. It charted at 170 on the
Billboard Top 200. The band's second release was the EP Life Gone
Wild, which featured a demo of the song "Breathless," and
two Skid Row covers, "18 And Life," and "Youth Gone
Wild." Nearly four months later, on April 5, the band released
their sophomore album, Reckless & Relentless. The album sold
31,000 copies in its first week, and reached number nine on the
Billboard 200.
----------------------------------
Their
supposedly first concert here in Manila last May
17, 2011 to be held at Amoranto
Theater Scout Chuatoco, Quezon City was canceled ....
The
announcement was made from their Facebook page.
"Due
to circumstances beyond the bands control they have had to cancel the
three upcoming appearances in SE Asia. The band hate to cancel shows
and even rescheduled the original shows hoping not to disappoint fans
a few weeks back. With that said the band have been on the road non
stop except a week here or there for the last year, and will continue
to be be on the road constantly for the next twelve months. With such
a busy touring schedule please understand the damage to health,
mental exhaustion and physical toll this takes on people. There are
some personal health issues some band members need to take care of
and with this being the only minor break they can have in 2011 the
band have been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel these
three shows.
The
band would like to stress to the fans who planned on coming to these
shows how sorry they are. The band will return as soon as possible
and will put on a bigger and better show than ever before. The band
would like to publicly thank the three promoters, Eko (Indonesia),
Vernon from Pulp (Philippines) and Apiz from Murderothica (Malaysia).
These three promoters have done an amazing job and we’re so sorry
to make you cancel these shows.”
