Loud, lively and exciting are three words that best describe The Alice Kona Band, a 4-piece garage/punk band from Belfast.

These four lads from the banks of the Lagan channel a racey mix of 60′s garage, 50′s pop and gritty rock ‘n roll/punk. The Alice Kona Band already have a number of startlingly good EPs under their belt, which accumulates to a riotous collection of high energy songs. Whether it’s the spikey indie of ‘Bad Dreams’ or brash punk-rock-out of their latest single ‘Film’; their tunes are invariably rockin’, loud, punchy and yet endearingly melodic. 

Pretty compelling stuff and presumably a ferocious proposition live. They play Musicmaster.ie presents at The Hard Rock Cafe, Dublin on the 29th of November but until then you can give the tracks below a spin and you’ll get the idea.
