For English metalcore act Asking Alexandria, years of extensive touring paid off in 2013 when their third album From Death to Destiny debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200. Tapped by Korn as a supporting act on their 2013 tour, Asking Alexandria quickly earned a reputation for their amped up live show, resulting in a series of headlining concerts with Sevendust, All That Remains, and others. The band's touring success in 2013 continued an already-successful run on the road – in 2012, fans clamored for tickets for their sold-out club dates in North America and the U.K., which drew praise for their mosh pit-inducing energy. Asking Alexandria's roots go back to 2003, when guitarist Ben Bruce helmed the group's first incarnation in Dubai. In 2008, Bruce returned home to England and formed an entirely new group, while retaining the Asking Alexandria name. After signing with indie label Sumerian, the band released its debut album Stand Up and Scream in 2009, and followed it up in 2011 with Reckless & Relentless, which peaked at No. 9 on The Billboard 200. Asking Alexandria's current lineup includes Bruce, vocalist Danny Worsnop, guitarist Cameron Liddell, bassist Sam Bettley, and drummer James Casells.
Decent front man, powerful voice. Band sounded great. Great line-up with him. Come on, Asking Alexandria and Memphis May Fire in the same night?!
Both Memphis may fire and asking Alexandria are entirely too popular for such a small venue. They’ve leveled up to Amphitheater and festival status. Memphis was amazing. But entirely too packed with wreckless people who don’t understand not everyone wants to get caught up in the pits at 30 plus years old.
The venue was small to fit that many people in. I end up leaving early because of how packed it was in the small venue. A bit disappointed. I did enjoy the first three bands but left before Asking Alexandria performed. Could it have been set up at a different venue?
The bands before them were heavy which started mosh pits and crowd surfing. They calmed down the crowd and spent to much time complaining about the microphone and venue. The venue wasn’t the best but the problems should’ve been solved during sound check. Just seems like they weren’t prepared. Even if they weren’t prepared they didn’t need to share the problems with us because we didn’t notice. The band seems washed sit this one out
Awesome show and as always the HOB is the best intimate venue
They were so amazing to see live!! The venue was very nice as well..
The venue was absolutely amazing. Parking was a bit of a struggle, but manageable. It was clean and set up well. Drink prices were outrageous, but the drink options were good. Overall, an amazing experience and would definitely return for more concerts !
Asking Alexandria is a band I have always wanted to see ever since I started listening to them back in 8th grade! they’re amazing stage presence and out of this world vocals made the show unforgettable that I even cried as I made my 9hr drive home haha. Not to mention the supporting bands in Memphis May Fire, The Word Alive, and Nerv setting the tone and getting everyone warmed up for an amazing night!
My friend and I went to this concert together and have been counting down the days since January. It was fantastic!
Not really a fan of the House of Blues in N. Myrtle Beach. The stage is way to high (at 5-1/2 ft or so) for such a small venue, I have to crane my neck just to watch the show from the GA Pit. I realize they can't "rebuild"the stage, but it never should have been built that high in the first place. NERV, The Word Alive, and Memphis May Fire ROCKED though! We couldn't stay to see Asking Alexandria, and they don't really seem to interact that well with their fans from what I've seen (we've done a M&G with them before). MMF on the other hand, really engages with their fans, and they're very personable and outgoing! Love them!
