Alpine (not to be confused with the duo that we wrote about previously named Alpines) is a six-piece band from Australia. Since changing their name to Alpine in 2010—they used to be known as Swiss—they released a debut EP titled Zurich (Ed’s Note: we think these guys are making it hard for us to Google them on purpose with keywords such as “Swiss,” “Alpine” and “Zurich” but we digress) which included “Villages,” a track that went viral YouTube hit with over a million views! A lot of time has passed since that release, but the band is finally back now with their forthcoming debut album A is For Alpine, which will be available starting August 22nd via Ivy League Records. Listen to their brand new single “Gasoline” below.
