Alestorm has gained a reputation for their chaotic live performances that combine pirate rock with heavy metal tropes.
Although the band have gone through several lineup changes over the years, the current iteration has been settled since 2015 and consists of sole original member Christopher Bowes (vocals/keytar) alongside Gareth Murdock (bass), Peter Alcorn (drums), Elliot Vernon (keyboard/harsh vocals) and Máté "Bobo" Bodor (guitar).
The band’s most recent album was Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum, which dropped to mixed reviews in 2022, although both Blabbermouth and Sonic Perspectives gave it a solid 7/10.
Catch Alestorm at The Gov on Thursday, February 27. Tickets on sale today via Oztix.
