With humble beginnings in Baltimore and then solidifying their lineup in Raleigh, North Carolina, the genre-blending quintet called alesana has come a long way in order to bring you their musical vision and incendiary live performance. Exploring the heights of love and the lows of heartbreak and bitterness that often follow, alesana's music strikes a universal chord with audiences around the world. Fans embrace the emotional sincerity and undeniable intensity of the music while reveling in the reckless abandon with which alesana performs. Formed in October 2004 by guitarist/vocalist Shawn Milke, guitarist Patrick Thompson, vocalist Dennis Lee, and bassist Steven Tomany, alesana quickly became a staple of the burgeoning Raleigh post-hardcore scene. Metal and hardcore fans were drawn to alesana's gut-wrenching vocals, solid riffs, blasting double bass and intelligent breakdowns. Progressive fans were drawn to their cascading song structures and deft control of dynamics, and emo/pop punkfans were drawn to their catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics. In May 2005, alesana began working on their debut EP. The disc "Try This With Your Eyes Closed" was released in mid-June 2005 to an ever-expanding fan base eager to take alesana home with them. With their additions of Adam Ferguson on third guitar/third vocal,and Jeremy Bryan on drums, alesana is ready to hit the road for their first US tour this summer. Word-of-mouth, internet promotion and online sales have given fans around the world access to alesana, landing the EP in Europe, Australia, Central America and across the nation. Since the release, alesana has been hard at work playing shows across the region (including the Cornerstone Festival and an episode of the MTV series "My Super-Sweet Sixteen"). Now with their first national release "On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax" recorded with producers Kit Walters and Jamie King, it is only a matter of time until alesana is in your stereo. xoxo

Get the Aleksa mug.Alessa is the most understanding, patient, loving, and compassionate person you will ever meet. Much like her name's origin she is a "noble defender" and puts others needs before her own and does her best to serve mankind to make this world a better place. She is able to connect to others in a very deep and intimate manner due to her trustworthiness and unconditional love for others.
"Alessa has always been there for us, no matter what we do, she loves us no matter what...do you know anyone else like that?"
"No Alessa is one of a kind, and the most beloved friend I have. I love her a whole lot, and she loves us a whole lot too"

Get the Aleksandar mug.Aleana is a classy bad ass bitch,but is a softly at heart, she cares alot of others although she can make mistakes. She's loud and funny and can be shy to new people, she would always want to be liked by others and wanting to make more friends, she's not all around perfect but she will try her best to make you laugh! She would try to stay with the latest fashions but it's not her self, she would be loyal and a good friend to trust!
