"A love of squalling guitars, alien effects and bruising walls of noise
splits their hit-hungry, kick-ass stomp into a three-way fight between
Placebo, Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction, making the whole thing a
heady rush that’s high on energy and hard on eardrums"
Kerrang!

"Criminally contagious" The Fly

”Sinister yet seductive…A wonderfully unnerving experience” Rocksound

"Ridiculously great"  Playlouder

Recorded at Moles Studio, Bath with Paul Corkett (Placebo, The Cure, Cooper Temple Clause), ‘Ctrl Alt Delete’ will follow the release of debut album ‘Bi Polar’ - critically acclaimed and littered with infectious tracks of power pop for a deranged generation. It’s an album of extremes - unafraid to be different and lavishly eloquent in its execution.


Adding their own twists on life’s rich tapestry of break-ups, jealousy, heartache and soul ­searching, Ariel-X have created their own special world. They deliver a brand of new-wave rock that combines the energy and sloganeering of early Manics, the melodic sensibilities of the Smashing Pumpkins and the abrasion of PJ Harvey.

Ariel X have completed several tours up and down the country since their inception some 16 months ago, building an ever increasing fan base along the way. The limited edition single and accompanying video for the song ‘Mute’ has so far seen the quartet enjoy airplay on both MTV2, and Kerrang! TV

Ariel-x will be on tour with Queen Adreena and will be playing a few shows around the country as a lead up to their second single, Ctrl-Alt-Delete:

Fri 20 May – Glasgow King Tuts
