HAILING FROM DUBLIN, IRELAND, THE ALUSKAS WERE FORMED IN 2009 BY BYRNE BROTHERS DAVID (GUITARS / BASS / KEYS / VOCALS) & ANTHONY (DRUMS / PERCUSSION / GUITAR / VOCALS) AND SOUL BROTHER PHILIP TINSLEY (GUITARS / BASS / KEYS / VOCALS). SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE PLAYED HEADLINE AND SUPPORT SHOWS AROUND IRELAND AND IN JANUARY 2012, THEY RELEASED THEIR DEBUT SINGLE, 'BACKWATER WOODS'. THE SINGLE WAS MET WITH CRITICAL ACCLAIM, THE BLOG 2 U I BESTOW CALLING IT "ONE OF THEM RARE UNPRETENTIOUS GOODTIME ROCK 'N' ROLL SONGS THAT WORKS". THE BAND WAS FEATURED ON THE FRONT COVER OF LIFE MAGAZINE (SUPPLEMENT OF THE ECHO NEWSPAPER) AND HAS BEEN FEATURED IN PYXIS MAGAZINE'S BEST NEW IRISH BANDS ARTICLE (MARCH 2012). THEIR SECOND SINGLE 'WHERE WE STARTED OUT' FOLLOWED AND RECEIVED A GLOWING REVIEW FROM MAKE IT MAG.
IN JULY, THE BAND RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM DRAW! WHICH THEY RECORDED OVER THE COURSE OF 2011 WITH ESTEEMED ENGINEER ANTIMO KELLY PUCA. THE RECORD RECEIVED GREAT REVIEWS (MIM CALLED IT "ONE OF THE RECORDS OF THE YEAR") AND EXTENSIVE AIRPLAY IN IRELAND, THE UK, THE US AND EUROPE FOLLOWED. THE ALUSKAS HAD BEEN COMPARED, SOUND-WISE, WITH THE LIKES OF THE DOORS, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL AND EARLY NEIL YOUNG BUT DRAW! POINTED TO OTHER MUSICAL AVENUES AS WELL. STRAINS OF EVERYONE FROM THE BEACH BOYS, THE WHITE STRIPES AND THE SMASHING PUMPKINS CAN BE HEARD IN THE LP. NEXT, THE BAND RELEASED THE 'SKIN & BONES' SINGLE IN SEPTEMBER 2012, IT'S INFECTIOUS GUITAR RIFF AND MEMORABLE CHORUS LINES KEEPING INDIE KIDS JUMPING WITH JOY OVER HALLOWEEN. AND NOW, JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS COMES 'MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU', A SURE-FIRE CHRISTMAS CRACKER OF A TUNE WHICH IS SET TO BECOME A STAPLE OF THE FESTIVE SEASON PLAYLIST.
EACH MEMBER OF THE GROUP SHARE SINGING, WRITING AND INSTRUMENTAL DUTIES EQUALLY. AS THE ALUSKAS ARE AN INDEPENDENT BAND, THEY ARE INTENT ON SUPPORTING ALL ASPECTS OF INDEPENDENT ART, FILM AND MUSIC. THEY HAVE CHOSEN THE DIY ROUTE BECAUSE TO BE INDEPENDENT IS TO BE FREE, FREE TO BE THE ARTISTS AND CREATORS THEY WANT TO BE. IT'S THE ONLY OPTION THEY CAN IMAGINE FOR RELEASING MUSIC IN THIS DAY AND AGE. SO TO FACILITATE THIS, THEY HAVE SET UP THEIR OWN LABEL, COBWEB RECORDINGS, TO ISSUE THEIR RELEASES. HOPEFULLY BY 2013, THE ALUSKAS WILL BE A HOUSEHOLD NAME. WATCH THIS SPACE.
