Radio Free Alice, the Australian indie rockers, are making waves with their upcoming debut album, 'What's In Between'. The band recently performed at Reading Festival 2025, showcasing their unique sound and captivating stage presence. In this article, we delve into their journey, influences, and the excitement surrounding their upcoming release.
A Rising Star in the Indie Scene
Radio Free Alice has been making waves in the music industry, with their unique blend of Anglophile indie rock. Their sound, influenced by New Order, The Jam, and The Housemartins, has been described as open-hearted and bittersweet, with a kaleidoscopic and widescreen approach. The band's recent singles, 'Kick In The Shins' and 'Crying For You', have dominated the indie airwaves and taken on a life of their own online.
Collaborating with Geese and Cameron Winter
The band had the opportunity to support Geese, a band that has been on their phones incessantly. To see Geese in person and share a stage with them was a surreal experience for the band. They also had the chance to collaborate with Cameron Winter, a genius musician who brought on a 10-year-old child prodigy to play a piano concerto before his solo gig in Melbourne. This experience left a lasting impression on the band, highlighting the creativity and talent within the music industry.
The Anticipation of the Debut Album
As the band prepares for the release of their debut album, 'What's In Between', they are experiencing a mix of emotions. While they are excited about the opportunity to put their music out there, they are also anxious about the attention and expectations that come with it. The album is a mixed bag of songs, some written two years ago and others written recently, with a focus on creating a melodic and intentional sound.
A Move to London?
With their Anglophile sound, it's no surprise that Radio Free Alice has considered a move to London. The band is excited about the prospect of living in the UK, despite the high rent prices. They are already looking for places and have made some progress in their move, with Noah Learmonth having recently moved to Bow.
A Relatable and Emotional Album
The album's lyrics explore themes of 'dispossessed young person', with a focus on the 'coming of age' experience. The band aims to create music that resonates with listeners and allows them to relate to the emotions and experiences portrayed in the songs.
Conclusion
Radio Free Alice's debut album, 'What's In Between', is set to be released on October 30 via Atlantic Records. The band's unique sound, combined with their relatable lyrics, has the potential to captivate audiences worldwide. As they continue to make their mark in the music industry, their journey is one to watch, with a promising future ahead of them.
