Alphastates are delighted to announce that their second album "Human Nature" will be released in 2008. Their debut album "Made From Sand" was a breathtaking & brooding mix of electronica, pop and rock and garnered the band several prestigious awards, festival headline slots across Europe and numerous TV appearances. Early last year Alphastates began work on "Human Nature" and remained intent on making an album that would capture their love of irresistible hooks, gorgeous melodies and most of all, brilliant songs. With a new line up, including drummer Graham Gilligan, Alphastates are looking forward to a busy 2008 back where they belong, following up on the huge promise they have shown since they first captured the airwaves with their debut single, Sometimes..

Thanks for asking! We've been up to loads. In between teaching Graham the rudiments of membership (how to hold you cigarette just right, how to address Catherine, how to put your pants on both legs at the same time, unlike other people) we've been driving to gigs and then playing them. After? Sadly, driving home. My back hurts from the driving because I am tall (I am seven feet tall) and my car is small (my car is six feet and one half-foot long). We've also been meeting and talking about our futures, and what to do with them. We've decided absolutely nothing, I think, or something might have been decided, it's kind of hard to tell cos we spend alot of time correcting Graham on how to take minutes at an Alphastates meeting (use initials, not first names! bullet points, not indents you fool!). So, what happened was we inadvertently spread a rumour that we're releasing a single on the 3rd of May (we're not). We'll have to wait a wee while for that, sadly. We'd like to put a single out now but the music business is like a kind of a treacherous forest or something, dark and foreboding with like snakes or something. And there are no maps, and you would climb trees to like, get your bearings or whatever but the trees are alive and aggressively resist any attempt to mount them, anyway they have no branches within reach, and are, like, on fire so it's kind of hard to figure out what's the deal sometimes, you know? That's how it is in this industry and we're just navigating through it with our wits and hoping that we take the right turns. Sometimes you gotta take a minute to think. Other times, just barrel on in like a randy bull and f*ck whatever gets in your path. Literally, mount it and then f*ck it. Ask questions LATER. So, what was I saying? I think I could sum it up by saying, keep on listening, come see us play, buy the t shirts and buttons, where possible, tell your friends to check us out (if you have cool friends, don't send any tards or dicks our way). You can still download our early sh*t (colloquial use of sh*t there, it's actually awesome) from dowloadmusic.ie. And keep in touch, your nice messages have given us the warm fuzzies DAILY.
Enjoy your week...
