Line Up

''BUTT-KICKIN' NEW PUNK'' Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

​"Gnarly... sounds like the golden age of 2000s UK indie" Phil Taggart, BBC Radio 1

​“Like the young Oasis – if they’d read the broadsheets” –** Louder Than War**

As we come into 2018 Sisteray are establishing themselves as one of the most exciting live bands of the moment and have just been signed up by the Music Venue Trust to headline their event at the 100 Club in London in October.

In spring 2018 they will be releasing a new EP 'Sisteray Said' the follow up to their critically acclaimed '15 Minutes' project released in 2017 - where they band with producer Rory Atwell recorded exactly 15 minutes of music (5 tracks), edited exactly to the second and which recieved a glut of live reviews. God Is In The Zine said "“Exciting, full of attitude, educated and anarchic; and because it’s the best new EP by an emerging band in years, with 15 Minutes Sisteray may hold the future of British guitar music in the palm of their hand just like Oasis and the Arctics before them. What they choose to do with it is entirely up to them.”

April 2018. The first track 'Algorithm Prison' from the new EP has dropped and popping up as Track Of The Day everywhere, not least because of it's timely call out of social media (Facebook) algorithms.

Sisteray came together out of their shared love for bands such as The Smiths, Velvet Underground, The Clash, The Libertines and the words of Dr. John Cooper Clarke. This is proven in the upbeat melodies and lyrical observations of 21st century Britain, combined with high-octane live performances that have been key to making their live shows unmissable. They have recently built up their live audience through a series of #guerillagigs, using everything within their means to persuade promoters to let them have a first on slots at shows big and small, witnessed by Subculture describing:

"The night began with Sisteray playing yet another spontaneous Camden show, their effortless guitar riffs and high energy proves that the boys are a force to be reckoned with".

Sisteray often create pop-up guerrilla gigs, organising their own club night ‘Welcome to the Monkey House’ where they book the bands, promote the gig and often DJ, and have played roof raising sets at Camden Rocks and the Isle of Wight and Reading and Leeds festivals.

The bands belief and passion in their music, as well as their strong political views has been seldom seen since the days of The Clash; with Dan recently asked to appear on primetime BBC News, ITV and The Independent to voice his views on the recent Syria debate. ​

Word is beginning to spread in the likes of BBC Radio 1, Radio X, Fresh on the Net, Louder Than War, Artrocker, BBC 6 Music, Subculture, Gigslutz, Time Out and The Londonist.

"Punk rockers causing a buzz in their native London, sold out shows aplenty, and with a Rory Attwell (The Vaccines/Palma Violets) produced EP in the can and due for release soon, expect that to swell" - Fred Perry Subculture

Kicking off in the local music scene around Eastbourne and Hastings in 2015; Alibi continuously perform around East Sussex ramping up a large following, especially with the release of their live album “Vice Versa”. Already with a catalog of great tracks after 18 monthsof being together, Alibi have furiously broken out of the norm of most local musicians with the release of their music video for “Everybody Thinks I'm Lonely”, as well as appearances on youtube based channels such as Live in the Living Room and other projects that are coming soon

Moving away from covers of The Human Beinz, The band has successfully in the past year became its own original concept, drawing influence from garage 60’s Rock music and the notion of original songwriting that has captivated fans across the county of East Sussex. Their debut EP “Alibi” released in late 2015 is exclusively made up of live tracks that were well received by both fans and critics; which offers a professionally recorded first EP of what the boys at Alibi can produce. Their second release, a live album titled “Vice Versa” released later on in early 2016 brings brand new and innovative material from the band with songs such as “Viscous Trinity” and “You’ve Made a Fool”. Vice Versa best defines the amount of progression the band has made within 12 months, and also represents Alibi’s unique style that is expressed throughout the album and the artwork, which was created by Jessica Steele with insert photography by Charlie Richards. Fopr 2017 Alibi are working on a new EP and already looking busy with gigs and festivals already firmly in the diary.

Alibi are Maxi Williams, Lead Vocal and Rhythm Guitarist. Matt Edwards, Lead Guitar and Vocals. Benji Meacham, Bass Guitar and Vocals. And Wesley Brown on Drums
