ALPHA MALE TEA PARTY

WEDNESDAY

PX3 STAGE

21:10 - 21:55

After a break from touring and performing, Liverpool-based trio Alpha Male Tea Party are back and they’ve been busy. Following on from 2020’s Infinity Stare, they now emerge with Reptilian Brain, a bold and expansive new album set for release on Big Scary Monsters in October 2025. Known for their combination of vast and aggressive instrumental workings, the band have long stood at the vanguard of the UK’s math and progressive rock scenes. With Reptilian Brain, they push their sonic identity into striking new territory: for the first time, vocals and lyrics play a central role.

While retaining their signature mix of heavy riffs, polyrhythmic grooves, and melodic complexity, Reptilian Brain introduces a more direct emotional resonance. The inclusion of vocals marks a significant creative leap, transforming their dense, guitar-driven arrangements into narratives that confront grief, anger, and existential dread with surprising vulnerability.
