Alie Sin

Alie Sin

The mysterious rag-tag combo known as Alie Sin saw the light of day through one eye in the year 2007, like a drunken phoenix stumbling out of the ashes of local sparks Les Garçons Émotifs and Few Days Delivery. Founders Gab Marquis and P-A Drolet were joined by Xavier Simard-Dufour and Danny Roach and got to work, even despite being scattered between schools and jobs throughout Quebec City and Montreal at times.

Alie Sin is a folk-punk band from dirty old Quebec City. It is also the misspelled name of a porn star, a reminder of vice, regret, everyday betrayal, the lingering smell of taverns and the only way to resist being paved over in a town hungry for growth and disdainful of all souls within.

What began as a one-record, no-show project ended up releasing several brilliant demos and playing countless memorable shows and open air jams, all culminating to the release of “Our (Brand New) Miracle” in 2010. The band outlived some of their close contemporaries (The Whole Week, Driftin’ Drifters) and has been reaching more fans ever since, sharing stages and basements with local and wayfaring compadres alike. The band now packs more punch with the inclusion of drummer and all-around hillbilly genius Antoine Doré. 2013 holds lots for Alie Sin to achieve as they shift gears heading towards the release of their most complete record to date, and plan on riding off in the sunset to support it. Keep an ear out and bottles in the fridge.
