Alation, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2021 and quickly established themselves in the North-East indie rock scene. Twin brothers Ethan and Charlie Boreham lead the band, with Josh Peters on drums, Matty Kirkley on bass, and Will Thurkettle on rhythm guitar. Ethan's strong vocals and Charlie's old school guitar style and songwriting, backed by Josh, Matty, and Will, create a distinctive sound that captures audiences in Newcastle and beyond. The Boreham brothers started their musical journey in school, taking a serious turn in 2018 when Charlie began writing original songs. Alation's sound is influenced by decades of British rock, echoing the Beatles' melodies, The Who's energy, and the Sex Pistols' rebelliousness, blending elements from The Jam, The Stone Roses, and Oasis into a fresh style. With a relentless drive to perform and create, Alation is set to make a significant impact on the music scene. The Newcastle quintet is not just following in their idols' footsteps; they're carving their own path, delivering powerful rock and roll anthems and captivating live shows.
