"...a taut, energised piece of noise rock bluster..." - Clash
"...90s indie, pop and urgent rocky riffery." - Team Rock
Danish noise-rock four-piece Alcabean, make a welcome return with the release of their brand new single Bloody Pose, out now via We Are Suburban and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.

Having already picked up support through the release of their 2016 EP Real Time Fiction, Alcabean are gearing up to unleash their fuzz-filled, feedback-laden sound on the UK public once again. Combining elements of 90’s alternative, indie-rock made popular by the likes of Silversun Pickups, Hum and The Smashing Pumpkins with a contemporary sound produced by bands such as Drenge and Wolf Alice, Alcabean straddle the line skilfully between melancholia and euphoria. A metronomic, expertly delivered drum beat is flanked by a thudding, driven baseline and accented beautifully by swirling, effected guitar tones, all neatly brought together by the emotive, atmospheric vocals of Victor Schack. Dealing with themes of growing up, Bloody Pose tackles the difficulties of our late teenage years and the struggle of dealing with increased expectations, identity confusion and how the constant search for acknowledgment sometimes makes you want to give up.
Alcabean were formed by two brothers, Victor (vocals, guitar) and Julius Schack (bass, vocals), who later added Lucas Olierook (drums) and Joachim Holmsgaard (guitar) to create the final four man line up. They immediately began to pick up support from within the music industry with the likes of Clash Magazine, Team Rock and Upset Magazine all praising the band with famed Rolling Stone journalist, David Fricke, playing Alcabean on his Sirius XM radio show.
Bloody Pose by Alcabean is out now via We Are Suburban and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.
John Alcabean’s debut EP Real Time Fiction out now!
"...a taut, energised piece of noise rock bluster..."
- Clash
"...90's indie, pop and urgent rock riffery."
- Classic Rock
"...infectious, fiery, and visceral while infusing a 90s sentimentality."
- The Revue
Riotous Danish three-piece John Alcabean have released their infectious debut EP Real Time Fiction via Tapetown Records, which you can download now via iTunes and stream on Spotify.
You can also stream the EP exclusively on The Revue who described the band as "...Denmark's best outfit...".
The video for the latest single Fire premiered on Upset and you can also watch it via the band's YouTube channel.
The audio premiered on Clash is available to stream on the band's Soundcloud page.
Both Fire and Need Comfort are explosive, no nonsense post-punk excellence, surrounded by electrifying guitar riffs and undeniably catchy melodies akin to the likes of Drenge and Royal Blood. Their debut EP Real Time Fiction is the result of the duo trying to find their sound for the debut as Victor Ryle Shack (lead singer & guitar) stated that from the beginning of the writing process that the band knew what sound they wanted to sound like and the aim was trying to accomplish this in the studio.
The title Real Time Fiction is about the reality of succeeding in something you once thought was fictional and how mind over matter can prevail. This came to be when Victor had a sudden realisation on the impact your thoughts have on your decisions and how they are almost working against your self development at times. Musically, their sound draws upon multiple influences from indie, pop, alt-rock to post-punk, creating a mix so contagious you will have them playing on repeat for days. Imagine a one-night stand between the music of the 90s and the 00s and John Alcabean is conceived.
Despite being relatively new to the live circuit, John Alcabean have already played Offspring Festival and Uhørt Festival as well as playing at a local carnival in front of three people - including two drunks and a handicapped man - who asked them to “sing him a lullaby”. John Alcabean are now ready to introduce the world to their incredible sound and take the rest of 2016 by storm.
