So who is Alpha? Alpha started in 1995 in Bristol and in 1997 signed to Massive Attack label though they remain fairly unknown despite the fact that they have been tagged as one of the most important bands in resent times. They have changed the lives of thousands of their listeners including many pop idols. Madonna worked with them, Prince put them at the top of his playlist, but they remain unknown...

… Alpha was formed in 1995 by two Bristol based producers and songwriters, Corin Dingley and Andy Jenks. Both were releasing records with other bands (The Experimental Pop Band and Statik Sound System) and released their debut single that year. It caught the attention of Massive Attack who signed them to their Virgin imprint Melankolic.

With the help of three sensational singers; Martin Barnard, Wendy Stubbs and Helen White, Alpha released two critically acclaimed albums and a remix mini-lp, selling 150,000 copies, gaining a credible list of admirers including David Bowie, Radiohead, Pulp, Tim Simenon and Madonna (Madonna voted their lp ‘Pepper’ album of the year in Rolling Stone magazine and asked Alpha to pitch some songs for her forthcoming lp ‘Music’). They toured extensively, both supporting Massive Attack in the UK and Europe, as well as their own sell-out shows in France, gaining a considerable fan-base there.

In 2001, Jarvis Cocker provided vocals for their cover of the Jimmy Webb song ‘This is where I came in’, and they toured Europe again, this time as a fully live 7-piece band. Alpha are also respected remixers, having mixed Robert Plant, Coldplay, Lambchop, Massive Attack, Brendan Benson, and Madredeus, among others.

Their music has been used in many movies including: Un Minute de Silence (France), My Life Without Me (Spain), No Grandpa (Japan), Derapages (France), XXXY (US), Le Poulpe (France), Accelerator (Ireland), La Novia de Lazaro (Spain), Sweet Underground (US), Beachball (UK). TV adverts include; Orange and Ford (both Europe). An extensive range of TV programmes from Channel 4’s Jam and Nip/Tuck to BBC’s Gardeners World.

Le seul chemin

Alpha founded in 1995 in Bristol, 
Many Alpha fan’s had not even been born yet when Mushroom of Massive Attack heard some early tracks and was so impressed he made them the first signing to Massive Attacks label melancholic/Virgin in 1996. Shortly after Alpha was tagged ‘The Best kept secret’ because Prince, Robert Plant, Chris Martin, Madonna and Thom Yorke to name a few were all Fans.  Fortunate for us but not for Alpha their determination to create the perfect Album pushed a further 14 releases bringing us up to the latest release ‘Failure’ but this album is far from it.  You may not be aware of Alpha but they influence other artists and music supervisors  including recent placements in ‘Big Little Lies’ and Guerlain Perfume campaigns. Alpha have never settled with one singer, passed collaborations include Daddy G, Horace Andy and Kelvin Swaby who then formed the success of ‘The Heavy’. 
Alpha are now working on the 15th album with singer Hannah Collins who featured on the pervious album ‘Eleventh Trip’ to be premiered at Romaria Cultural  in Gouveia, Guarda, Portugal on the 30/07/2022
