“The band really nail their production to match the energy.”– Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J

Adelaide based trio Alpha Street will release their new single ‘Darkest Places’ tomorrow. The band have also announced an upcoming performance at Flip-Side Festival (Adelaide) on 6th July.

Alpha Street create an extremely catchy brand of Electronic Pop.

Their sound has an irresistible sense of nostalgia and has been described as “Sweet, bold, a little bit dark but also a little bright” – Claire Mooney, Triple J.

Alpha Street formed in 2018 and debuted with their single ‘Like Them’. The single received positive reviews from Triple J staff and reached number one on the Triple J Unearthed Electronic charts.

The band then dropped their second single ‘Best Days’ and played a number of successful shows around Adelaide, building a dedicated audience and receiving positive reviews in the process.

New single ‘Darkest Places’ is available for download on all major online stores tomorrow.

Penny on the lyrics:
“Darkest Places is about depression, letting go and the journey to freedom.”
“Following a car accident and a difficult doctor’s diagnosis, a friend fell into a dark depression. This was written as a reminder that you’re still amazing even in your darkest place and breaking free IS possible.”

Pat on writing the song:
“The song was written in a super organic way. Adam had this happy sounding progression in mind and picked a sequencer pattern on the bass synth. Then I jumped on the other synth and played this really cheesy sounding chord lead. We added in an equally obnoxious 90’s snare sample and it just worked. The verse on the song was the first thing Penny tried with the music and we were all instantly vibing. The whole song was pretty much written in the jam room before we even touched a computer which was fun for us.”
