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.

Breaking News: Asking Alexandria canceled their South East Asian tour

The announcement was made from their Facebook page.

(www.facebook.com/askingalexandria):

"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.”
