“Alien Chicks are determined to unseat you at every turn. It’s total strangeness, but you suspect that’s exactly the way Alien Chicks want it” NME

“Alien Chicks have cemented themselves as an essential name on London’s gig circuit” DIY

“The trio are proving that in a time of carefully curated personas, there’s still room for a bit of glorious, unfiltered mayhem” Dork

“Their thunderous, flash-in-the-pan bouts of intensity” Clash

London post-punk risers Alien Chicks release gripping new effort ‘Illuminati’, out today (September 30th) via Hideous Mink Records (Opus Kink, Y) & SO Recordings (Enter Shikari, Deadletter, Big Special).

Marking their first slice of new music since the release of second EP ‘Forbidden Fruit’ earlier this year, Alien Chicks’ electrifying live show has been showcased throughout the UK and Europe this past summer. Standouts slots at the likes of Glastonbury and The Great Escape have reinforced their glittering potential, as well as their biggest London headliner yet at a sold-out Oslo, Hackney in May and tour supports alongside acts such as Lambrini Girls and Big Special.

Armed with a collection of diverse influences and a fearless approach to their genre, Alien Chicks continue to push boundaries and define expectations, whilst critical acclaim continues to gather pace in the process. Press support from key titles including The Independent, NME, DIY, Dork, Clash, Rolling Stone, CMU and Rough Trade has certainly helped raise their profile, not to mention regular airplay across the BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders, Arielle Free, Amy Lamé), BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson) and Radio X (John Kennedy) airwaves.

Primed to head out on their biggest headline run to date across the UK and Europe this October, Alien Chicks will be playing a mammoth show at The Garage, London, in addition to support slots with both Sprints and The Wytches, ahead of what promises to be a thrilling 2026 that will feature the release of their highly anticipated debut album.

Detailing their new track, the trio stated: “‘Illuminati’ is a hate letter to the music industry. Being part of a tight knit DIY music scene who are all struggling together, we feel it’s part of our duty to hold onto this community and to not let it be infiltrated by those who claim to be music lovers but are not. This is a song for the scene and for those who understand what being in a band is all about.”

Alien Chicks’ ‘Illuminati’ is out now via Hideous Mink Records and SO Recordings and available on all digital platforms.

Alien Chicks is Josef (guitar, vocals), Stefan (bass, backing vocals), Martha (drums, backing vocals)
