For this one, I'm going to tell the story of how I got into AA. No not Alcoholic Anonymous. Asking Alexandria. This is one of those bands when I first heard of it I was like "That sounds dumb, I'm not even going to check them out." And then didn't even have a second thought about them.
End of story.
No not end of story. You probably want to know how I came to like them. No? Well, I'm going to tell you about it anyway, sorry. Well, not sorry... whatever, I'm just going to stop. Well not the story, I'm going to continue my story.
Anyway, a while later I was watching a BryanStars interview (Yeah, I know. Old news, no one likes BryanStars, blah blah blah.) Anyway, it was an interview with
Danny and Andy. That's the main interview, but the Uncut version is way better, just saying. So I was watching the video and I was like "Danny Worsnop, huh? He's kinda cute, who does he sing for?" So then I looked up
Killing You because I also had a bracelet with lyrics from that song that I thought was kinda cool. So I listened to the song and liked it and then started listening to more songs and started to like the band.
So yeah, that's why I like Asking Alexandria. I enjoy the lighter stuff more than their screamo stuff personally. I know how hard the screaming is on Danny's voice and I don't want him to hurt himself so that's my main reasoning on that. The screaming is actually why Danny life Asking in the first place and created
We Are Harlot. It's basically like Asking but without the screaming and more upbeat. There hasn't been any new music from Harlot since 2015 however, and Danny isn't really interested in becoming a member of AA again, so it seems like his musical career is pretty much over anyway. He's made plenty of money between the two bands so he doesn't really need to do anything else anyway unless he just wants to.


Here's a side by side of the band with Danny and Dennis the two lead singers. (Dennis replaced Danny after he left.) I personally don't like Dennis, but that's just a personal thing just because he's not Danny.
I give the band a 7/10. It's a pretty good band, but it's not my favorite or anything.
