Alleyway,
formed in the sewers of Oshkosh, WI by Nick, Josh and Andy, has been gaining a
following by playing fast paced rock n’ roll in the speed metal vein since
2012.
Influenced
by Motörhead, Demon and the Misfits, their first album of fast alcoholic punk
& rock n’ roll came out in 2013 called No Last Call.
“Alleyway
have a sound that goes right back to the (real) birth of Rock n Roll, with Link
Wray slashing his amplifier in some piss-soaked seedy Boston pub and starting
off that quest for pure awesome volume.” - War On All Fronts zine from Ireland.
After
a small east coast tour in May of 2014, Josh left the band later that year and
Dave was asked to join in 2015. After playing shows in the summer the band was
sidelined due to injuries. With the nothing’s going to stop us mentality they
kept writing songs and
their
second album Let’s Get Destroyed was written. Released in Spring 2016 they
embarked on another east coast tour immediately.
Following
the tour the band sat down and started writing the third album Crime Scene,
while still playing shows all around the state of Wisconsin. After another east
coast tour in November 2017 following the release of Crime Scene the band
decided to straighten up a little. The partying was starting to take control.
The new attitude reinvigorated the band and they were playing with the likes of
Thor, Diamond Head, Hellbringer and Bewitcher.
After
recording After Dark in January the band focused on getting all of the artwork
done for the album and have been focused on finding new avenues on promoting
the band and have kept playing shows. Instead of doing another tour they went
to Mexico and played two successful shows there with Thunderslave.
