This is my blog about Alphabeat:
It is no secret that 80's pop is back in
vogue today. You can find element of that
genre in everything from hard rock to pop to
even metal bands around the world. The
enduring popularity of 80's pop is a
testament to the impact that this style of
music had and continues to have. However, the
genre may have a new face. Their name?
Alphabeat.
Who is Alphabeat? An excellent question; they
are a sextet pop group originally from
Copenhagen, now located on the east side of
London, England. They are much more than
that, though. To listen to industry experts,
they are the heir to the pop legacy that the
90's never answered. Alphabeat stands poised
to take the world by (a happy) storm.
Really, you ask? Yes, to all appearances,
they will soon be crowned the kings (and one
queen) of modern pop, with roots that reach
back decades. What is the reason for all this
hyperbole about a band? Believe it or not,
some of the top music critics and most
acclaimed music sources in Britain (NME,
Popjustice and more) have all acclaimed them
one of the most perfect pop bands in the
world. That is big praise coming from those
particular sources, as well.
Alphabeat combines an unusual mixture,
though. Obviously, they use the platform of
spunk pop (wonky pop by their terminology),
which appeals to kids and the young at heart.
Beyond that, though, their lyrics have an
undeniably adult bent. They discuss love and
loss, pain and friendship, though all in an
upbeat, almost frenetic setting. The band
does an excellent job with their efforts and
has garnered legions of fans, both in Denmark
(their album went platinum almost
immediately) and abroad. In the UK, they have
made vast inroads into pop culture and gained
quite a bit of airplay for their single
Fantastic 6.
Where can you find Alphabeat? You can find
them all over the place, actually. Their
video on YouTube currently has 3 million hits
(in the space of 3 months!), and their new
website is up and running. The website
features message forums where you can
actually correspond with the band members.
You can also watch videos, listen to the
band's music and buy swag. Beyond that, you
can find them touring around the UK,
including an appearance at this year's
Glastonbury festival and several other shows
over the summer months.

Here it is, finally, the new Alphabeat video
to Boyfriend!
A Happy Alternative: Pop Music Lives!
Does today's music have you down? Tired of
turning that dial, searching for a song
that's not depressing, angry or violent?
Enter Alphabeat, your happy alternative. No,
they do not play alternative music. If you've
never heard of Alphabeat before, you're in
the shrinking minority. Their peculiar brand
of pop offers you sunny, happy music,
combined with real lyric writing, something
that's missing from much of today's
mainstream music.
If you were disappointed at the apparent
downfall of pop after the 80's, your reprieve
has come and it looks like they're here to
stay. Alphabeat started out in Copenhagen,
Denmark, under the name Sodastars. Their
debut singles won them immediate acclaim in
the land of the Danes and garnered them
notice in the UK, as well. Their debut album
went platinum in Denmark, as well, further
cementing their claim to the 80's pop throne.
Today, Alphabeat has relocated to the east
side of London, England and is currently
engaged in their Wonky Pop Tour. One of the
most notable appearances will be at
Glastonbury this summer, on the Park stage.
Alphabeat will take the stage on Saturday,
the halfway point of the festival.
So, what do Alphabeat have to offer the
modern listener? Well, besides happy, feel
good music, they provide an amazing show,
complete with riotous colours and shiny
outfits. Their appeal goes far beyond happy
music, though. The sheer enthusiasm with
which they take the stage is amazing and
comprises one of the main reasons to go see
this band live. Their singles, while very
good, do not do their songs justice. To truly
appreciate Alphabeat, you need decibels and
lots of them. In addition, it seems as though
they add extra elements to the songs when
done live.
Where can you catch them playing live? Check
out their website (ThisIsAlphabeat.com) or
their MySpace page; both of these will give
you great tour information. The website
actually has the entire schedule, complete
with booking information to help you get to
the show and help you find tickets.
Alternatively, you can try to win tickets
through their 10,000 Pictures contest or
through their t-shirt design contest.
Beyond that, though, you can catch them at
venues all around the UK. Their actual tour
has already kicked off, but you can still
catch them at several spots around the UK!
