With humble beginnings in Baltimore, Maryland, and then
solidifying their lineup in Raleigh, North Carolina, the
genre-blending sextet called Alesana has come a long
way in order to bring you their musical vision and
incendiary live performance. Exploring the heights of
love and the lows of heartbreak and bitterness that
often follow, Alesana's music strikes a universal
chord with audiences around the world. Fans embrace the
emotional sincerity and undeniable intensity of the
music while reveling in the reckless abandon with which
Alesana performs. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Shawn
Milke, guitarist Patrick Thompson, guitarist Adam
Ferguson, vocalist Dennis Lee, bassist Steven Tomany,
and drummer Jeremy Ryan, Alesana has quickly became
a staple of the burgeoning post-hardcore scene.
Metal and hardcore fans are drawn to Alesana's gut-
wrenching vocals, solid riffs, blasting double bass and
intelligent breakdowns. Progressive fans are drawn to
their cascading song structures and deft control of
dynamics, and emo/pop punk fans are drawn to their
catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics. In May 2005, Alesana
signed with Tragic Hero Records and began work on their
debut EP. The disc "Try This With Your Eyes Closed" was
released in mid-June 2005 to an ever-expanding fan base
eager to take Alesana home with them. Word-of-mouth,
internet promotion and online sales have given fans
around the world access to Alesana, landing the EP in
Europe, Australia, Japan, Central America and across the
nation. Since the release, Alesana has been hard at work
playing shows across the region (including the
Cornerstone Festival and an episode of the MTV series
"My Super-Sweet Sixteen") and writing new material
for their first full-length release.
