The Alice Syndrome – Band Biography
The Alice Syndrome is a band that blends rock, electro and darkwave influences to create a unique sound that is both catchy and haunting. The band was formed about 20 years ago, by Groovhead, a talented guitarist who wanted to experiment with different genres and styles, and George, a synth wizard who could add atmospheric layers to the songs. Together, they started writing and recording demos in their home studio, and the band has evolved since then, The current core line-up includes Groovhead, George, and Tzolkin, a bassist with a background in rock, blues, soul, folk, punk, funk, classical, pop, rockabilly ambient and psychedelic. There is also a fourth core member, Nick, who calls himself a simple sound engineer, but seems absolutely fundamental to everything we do!
Nick came to work with us on our last album – All the Second Takes. He ended up playing the bass guitar for all tracks, as well as performing miracles on the sound engineering side of things. So we kidnapped him and keep him in a box under Groovhead’s bed.
Our songs also feature the vocals of Alex and Koshka Pravda, two singers who joined us as guest performers. Alex is a soulful classical singer who adds a touch of sweetness and depth, while Koshka Pravda is a gothic vocalist who adds a touch of darkness. Our songs also feature provoking videos produced by Jim, a creative director who makes stunning visuals for our music which combine live footage and animation.
The band’s latest track, stop me but give me more, was released in 2023 and showcases the band’s signature style: a catchy chorus, a driving rhythm, and a dark twist. The lyrics explore the themes of addiction, obsession and self-destruction, while the music creates a contrast between the upbeat and the energetic melody and the sombre message.
The lyrics are honest and raw, expressing the conflicting emotions of someone who knows they are hurting themselves but can’t stop. The music is upbeat and energetic, creating a contrast with the sombre message. It’s a song that will stay with you long after you listen to it.
The Alice Syndrome’s other recent tracks include haiku priestess, death, mother, goddess and harder faster quicker now. These songs explore different aspects of the band’s musical and lyrical identity, from the existential to the erotic. The band is currently working on their latest album, which they promise will be even more diverse and daring than their last.
The Alice Syndrome is a band that is not afraid to experiment, challenge and surprise their listeners with their original and captivating sound.

Hi all!
This is a note to tell you about our two SoundCloud profiles.
What can we say! We neglected our original SoundCloud account and the email it’s registered to no longer exists, so we can’t recover it and SoundCloud does not seem to be interested in helping with that. So it’s now orphaned, and will never be updated. It’s a snapshot of The Alice Syndrome of about 7 years ago.
We try to use our SoundCloud page to share live tracks not published anywhere else.
Here’s our new SoundCloud page:

The Alice Syndrome on SoundCloud
Here are the links to our SoundCloud pages, our current profile, and also our old, orphaned profile we no longer have access to.
The following is an advisory for some of our tracks and videos, which cover sensitive topics such as child abuse, kidnap trauma, dissociation, evil and hearing voices. We understand that some of our audience may find these topics triggering or disturbing, and we respect their feelings and choices. We do not intend to harm or offend anyone with our art, but rather to express our own experiences and perspectives.
If you are triggered by our art, we suggest that you take some time to calm yourself and seek support from someone you trust. You may also want to explore some resources that can help you cope with your emotions and heal from your trauma.

These are just some of the resources that you can use to help yourself when you are feeling triggered or overwhelmed by trauma. Remember that you are not alone, and that there is hope and healing possible for you.
Another good resource is self-transcendence.org, a website that offers information and guidance on how to transcend and transform our broken self, and in the process, connect with something greater than the self.
Self-transcendence is a personality trait that involves the expansion or evaporation of personal boundaries. It may potentially include spiritual experiences, such as considering oneself an integral part of the universe. Self-transcendence can help you expand your awareness of your inner state, values and dreams, relate to others and your environment in a more positive way, and integrate your sense of past and future.
We hope that our art can inspire you to reflect on your own experiences and perspectives, and that you can find meaning and purpose in your life. Thank you for listening and watching.
