Interview with Asking Alexandria
We had the pleasure of interviewing Asking Alexandria over Zoom video!
Since 2008, Asking Alexandria, formed and based in the U.K., have paved a path of their own, distilling danger and excess into an equally dangerous hybrid of stadium rock ambition, metallic energy, and electronic ecstasy. Against all odds, they achieved unprecedented success earmarked by two gold-certified singles (namely, \u201cFinal Episode (Let\u2019s Change The Channel)\u201d and \u201cNot The American Average\u201d), over a billion cumulative streams and views, and three consecutive top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200\u2014Reckless & Relentless [2011], From Death to Destiny [2013], and The Black [2016]. In addition to headlining packed gigs on five continents, they destroyed stages alongside Guns N\u2019 Roses, Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, Alice In Chains and Slipknot, to name a few. Meanwhile, 2017\u2019s self-titled Asking Alexandria spawned two of the group\u2019s biggest singles to date: \u201cAlone In A Room\u201d (40 million Spotify streams) and \u201cInto the Fire\u201d (30 million Spotify streams).
The quintet\u2014Ben Bruce [guitar, backing vocals], Danny Worsnop [lead vocals], James Cassells [drums], Cameron Liddell [guitar], and Sam Bettley [bass]\u2014 saw their first-ever #1 at U.S. radio with the single \u201cAlone Again,\u201d taken from their latest critically acclaimed album See What\u2019s On The Inside and a second Top 10 single \u201cNever Gonna Learn\u201d (#6). The band were also featured on the soundtrack for Better Noise Film\u2019s 2022 horror-thriller The Retaliators with the track \u201cFaded Out (feat. Within Temptation),\u201d and on the collaborative theme song \u201cThe Retaliators Theme (21 Bullets)\u201d alongside Motley Crue, Ice Nine Kills and From Ashes to New. Worsnop also appeared as a guest on Hyro The Hero\u2019s \u201cWho\u2019s That Playing On The Radio\u201d in addition to Mick Mars.
