Bio
Breaking into the rock scene in 2015, by winning the Creekwood Chapelle Songwriter Contest, with their debut single "Creekwood Memories" and the Landmark Showcase Competition shortly after, Alleviate quickly made a name for themselves.
By 2017, the band released their follow up full length album “Aggressive Grace”. Now Alleviate returns with a brand new single, “Daredevil” the first single off the new EP “Glass Habits”. The songs on the EP are about changing, growing and learning to love both those around you and yourself. With their signature, high-energy style of rock n’ roll woven into honest stories and memorable melodies, you hear the band’s growth as songwriters.
Striving to evolve past their previous release, the band worked with seasoned producer Stew Kirkwood to create something unique and new.“Glass Habits” takes you on a journey. From the lead single“Daredevil” focusing on mental illness and the journey it takes to come to terms with that reality, to the heavy slide driven tale “Gunslinger” the band is proud of what they’ve put together and the path they are going.
