SKIES

Alie & Jericho have started from the ground up. They began their journey with debut EP ‘If You Feel Like It’ (2015). Sophomore EP ‘We Fear Change’ (2017) came at a time of change for the band as they embraced working independently – ‘What is so wrong with being alone anyway?’ so their song ‘Green’ goes… The band went on to release their third EP ‘X’ (2018), a face off between fears and faith. Singles ‘Born Yesterday’ (2019) and ‘It’s Alright’ (2020) take you from empowerment to emotion and hit hard. All produced by Oz Craggs at Hidden Track Studios in their hometown of Folkestone, UK.
With tracks featuring on BBC Radio 1, Channel 4’s ‘Made in Chelsea’, ITV’s ’The Only Way is Essex’, ‘New Music Friday’ Spotify playlist and BBC Introducing, SKIES sound has begun to reach some heights.
During Winter 2020, after a year of playing over 200 live streams & a month-long garden tour, the band retreated to a wooden cabin in the middle of nowhere to record some songs in response to the strange year the world had faced, this became the band’s fourth EP ‘It’s Not the End of the World’ and was released throughout 2021.
Shortly after, the band released single a string of singles (2022-23) alongside festival appearances throughout the Summers. With their debut album under their belt and a powerful live show, SKIES get set for their 2024 UK Tour!
