Alpine

Alpine are a six-piece indie-rock band from Melbourne, Australia.

After forming in 2009, national radio station Triple J played their demos on air and awarded them the ‘JJJ Unearthed Feature Artist Of The Week’ blue ribbon before they even had time to prepare their first live show. The band signed to Ivy League Records in August 2010, and released a single, ‘Heartlove’ a month later. Their first record, an EP titled ‘Zurich’, was released in November 2010, followed by a second single from the record, ‘Villages’. In October 2011, the first single from their debut album, entitled ‘Hands’ was released. The album is set for release in early 2012.
