Trinity News (live review) - "Happily brimming with talent and seemingly oblivious to their comparatively mundane surroundings, all four are refreshingly unselfconscious onstage and clearly revel in a gig opportunity ... Perhaps if we put Stellastarr in the fridge for a couple of hours, or gave the Cardigans a soul, we would end up with Alphastates. But then again, to reduce this band’s sound to a merely digestible indie-pop stereotype is to cheapen and gravely underestimate one of the most potent undercurrents in the country’s alternative music scene. I look around and their audiences are transfixed. Tonight, the Buttery was plucked from the armpit of stale indie bedwet and propelled skywards toward the lofty creative peaks of a band who I am convinced are poised to record something truly special."
Across The Line (live review) - "’Made From Sand’ is probably one of the most ambitious records to come out of Ireland in a while and here in the Limelight they sound absolutely huge. Alphastates managed to turn in one of the best belFEST performances in recent memory."
Kilkenny People (live review) - "This band will manage to reassure you that there’s still urgency, passion, and art left in music."
Hot Press (live review) - "In Catherine Dowling they have a singer born to live on stage, her WW11 vamp-waitress persona and honeydripping voice pulling them in from the bar from the off. All told, a night that scored an appropriate ten out of Ten."
Alphastates much anticipated second album "Human Nature" will be released later in 2008. Their debut album "Made From Sand" was a breathtaking & brooding mix of electronica, pop and rock and garnered the band several prestigious awards, festival headline slots across Europe and numerous TV appearances. Early last year Alphastates began work on "Human Nature" and remained intent on making an album that would capture their love of irresistible hooks, gorgeous melodies and most of all, brilliant songs. With an new line up, including drummer Graham Gilligan, Alphastates are looking forward to a busy 2008 back where they belong, following up on the huge promise they have shown since they first captured the airwaves with their debut single, Sometimes..
