Alternative Logic Tuning (ALT) is carving out a distinctive niche in the UK indie scene with their upcoming sophomore effort, "Smoke and Mirrors." Emerging from the creative hubs of Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, the duo—comprising Scary Clown and Red Devil—offers a "heavy, melodic electronic" sound designed to be both unique and original.

The band's journey is one of resilience and creative "necessity," born from long-standing friendships and the remnants of previous musical projects. Following their 2025 debut, Sticks and Stones, this new album represents the second half of a massive 16-track recording session that began in May 2024.

By opting for a "rustic production" style, the band intentionally preserves the raw integrity of their music, ensuring that the recorded energy translates seamlessly to their upcoming live performances across the East Midlands and Northern England.
