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!
