Alkalay [New Artist]
Music is a funny game, especially in South Wales. There is so much to choose from that sometimes bands will appeal just for their unconventional nature and you’ll find yourself listening and wanting them to be good just because they represent something different, something new.
Alkalay are on of those very bands, Merthyr Tydfil’s next big thing seem to comply with anything unique you’d look for in a band. Six members is a feat in itself, two being female is something else, and the fact one of those is a guitarist lends them to the title of “not your typical band.” Stylistically Alkalay are all about metal-influenced pop-punk, the diversity with which the sextet ply their trade should immediately turn eyes and ears their way.
Remaining founding members Richard Meyrick (guitar) & Becka Elias (guitar) set out to create something new and refreshing, given that Richard’s previous band Defined weren’t going anywhere, the pair set out to form My Favourite Accident; as they were previously known. Being joined by Becky Morgan (vocals), Thomas Cartwright (vocals) & Luke Ryan (drums), the band set out for their first gig at Porth’s Pop Factory venue in May 2007.
The current line-up was completed in July of that year with the arrival of bassist Gareth Burrough. The band have since gone on to comprehensively play shows throughout South Wales, developing into a crowd pleasing act and picking up many new fans and friends along the way. The band have come a long way both on and off stage, recent recordings with Chris Maguire at Screamadelica Studios are pushing the band’s sound ever further. With the release of a debut EP due for the summer of 2008, it looks as though things are only going one way for this enthuastic sextet, and that way is up.
