"Of the current crop Doncaster upstarts, The Alyscamps are miles ahead and it can surely only be a matter of time before they are touted as the next Arctic Monkeys, or something equally unimaginative. Some things never change. Hopefully that will not be the case with this band and by 2009 we may be witnessing something much bigger. A lot can happen in a year." George E Fellows, Doncaster Live, April 2008.
"The Alychamps. The Beaus may have been a bit of a damn squid but all hail The Alychamps who are the other end of the spectrum, stunning. Tonight they are the kings of Doncaster and have the Leopard in the palm of their hands from the off. Ross Cameron is a star in the making, the most charismatic frontman this side of Sheffield, a bit of Jarvis with stage presence to burn and balls of steel to match. The rest of The Alychamps are unfairly eclipsed by their frontman which is a compliment to him as they are spot on and never put a foot wrong. They all deserve to move up from this as this is damn special but for tonight they bask in the glory for they are truly kings of this here town. In a strange quirk of fate they aren’t actually the headline act but for the bbc local radio, who have taped all tonights acts for broadcasting across the Yorkshire network." Colin, Shaddersonline.com, March 2008.

The Alyscamps combine the perfect ingredients of old school rock ‘n’ roll and popular indie rock music to create a fusion so great they have attracted acclaim from around the world. This awesome and edgy mix of styles has been humorously nicknamed ‘The Alyscamps Buffet’ as they have an extremely marketable and mixed bag of epic anthems and powerful sing a long foot stompers which appeal to every music fan.
The Alyscamps came together after years of playing in various different bands. Formed in March 2007 and brought together by Gene Wilder the band have concentrated on making music their priority and not fashion. Recently The Alyscamps have signed to Circuit Records and will be releasing an E.P. in the near future.
The Alyscamps toured the country through out 2007 playing London, sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham and even a few outdoor festivals in Lecister to name but a few of the locations. With the added experience of playing with bands such as The Noisettes, Little Man Tate, Tiny Dancers, Slow Club, Noah and the Whale, iliketrains and Doncasters own Wallbirds. The Alyscamps have had a very intense first year as a band that has really given them a sense of pride and determination to push forward in 2008.
