Bio
The Alchemy are a thrilling British rock band blending the raw intensity of rock with indie charm and an electronic nuance. Formed in Canterbury in 2015, the band quickly made waves with their debut EP Modern Age (2016), earning praise across UK independent press, radio, and music television. Their distinctive sound caught the attention of U.S. label Standby Records, leading to the release of their debut album Chemical Daydream (2020). The album received acclaim from BBC Introducing, Kerrang!, and Scuzz TV, amassing over 250,000.
Refusing to slow down during the pandemic, The Alchemy went fully independent, building their own recording studio and media outlet. Releasing two more albums—Idle Ghosts (2021) and Somewhere//Anywhere (2023). With support from Help Musicians, their DIY approach paid off, earning them continued attention from major outlets like BBC Introducing, Kerrang! And Planet Rock.
Known for their electrifying live shows, The Alchemy have shared stages with Mallory Knox, I Am Giant, and The Intersphere, while selling out their hometown of Canterbury for eight consecutive years. Their energetic performances and deep connection with fans have fuelled multiple headline tours across the UK.
2025 saw The Alchemy hit new heights—kicking off the festival circuit with a slot at The Great Escape (Alternative) and releasing more new music independently. With passion, precision, and an unstoppable DIY spirit, The Alchemy are cementing their place as one of the UK’s most exciting rock acts.
