Asking Alexandria are an English metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire. The band was formed in 2008 when Ben Bruce contacted his old companions upon returning to the United Kingdom after residing in Dubai. The current lineup at the time of this recording consists of Ben Bruce (lead guitar), Danny Worsnop (vocals), Cameron Liddell (rhythm guitar), Sam Bettley (bass guitar) and James Cassells (drums).
Asking Alexandria's music has been described by critics as metalcore, electronicore, and heavy metal. Worsnop has stated on Twitter that Aerosmith were his biggest inspiration: "From time to time, I forget just how perfect Aerosmith are. Then I play their songs and my soul comes alive. My all time biggest inspiration". Worsnop and Bruce have also stated that they draw inspiration from 1980's metal and rock bands, such as Guns N' Roses, Metallica and Mötley Crüe, also making the comment: "We also listen to bands Bring Me the Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, there's just a whole huge mixture of bands. When we were writing our first album, I suppose our biggest influences were probably more American bands than British. We were listening to a lot of Vanna, and another band called Burden of a Day, so they had a lot of music influence into our first album, to be honest."
Asking Alexandria have dedicated an EP titled Under the Influence: A Tribute to the Legends of Hard Rock to pay tribute to the bands that have influenced them such as Journey, Whitesnake, Mötley Crüe, and Def Leppard. Also, on the Life Gone Wild EP, they paid tribute to Skid Row by recording two covers of their songs; "18 and Life", and "Youth Gone Wild". Asking Alexandria have cited Skid Row as being a huge influence on the band.
In an interview, Cameron has stated he is influenced by Slipknot, Papa Roach, ’80s bands like Motley Crue and Guns N’ Roses and a lot of heavy stuff. He also said, "James and I like hardcore bands. It’s not even a case of taking that and putting it into the band. It’s because I listened to so much other stuff before this band that I like to go away and listen to my stuff. It’s not necessarily that I take stuff or I’m influenced. I listen to a lot of broader music. Before this band I didn’t listen to a lot of singing. I was into straight-up, screaming, crazy shit, but as I’ve grown older I’m not so honed in on just one style. It’s whatever I’m in the mood for. It could be anything."
Ben Bruce has stated in various interviews that he draws influences from Blink-182, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Metallica, Slipknot,Deep Purple, Michael Bublé, Foreigner, and Ozzy Osbourne.
