LOCAL RADAR: Alaskan Pipeline

Fleet duo Alaskan Pipeline have been in our sights for a while, so it is with great pleasure we finally introduce you to them, Formed as 2013 came to an end, they've spent this year busily recording and gigging and getting themselves known on the local music scene.

The band are Jake Griffith on vocals, guitar and bass and Nick Rigdway on drums, they bring a DIY rawness to their simple but effective grunge-influenced indie. Their first release - a demo of 'Headboard' - released back in May, is well worth checking out.

You can also now listen to their most recent record, a four-song acoustic split release with Devon emo/pop-punk outfit Late Night and Long Drives on their Bandcamp site. If you like it, this record and the demo are available as free downloads.

Their only upcoming gig is the official release show in Exeter, they've played recent gigs at The Sanctuary, Basingstoke and The Boileroom in Guildford and are sure to be playing nearer home again soon. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for more news.
