In the vast universe of music, some bands stand out not just for their sound but for their intriguing name and compelling backstory. One such band is Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells. If you haven’t heard of them yet, prepare to be introduced to a group that’s shaking up the pop-rock scene with their infectious melodies and dynamic performances.
Who Are Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells?
Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells (ADRD) is an international pop-rock band with roots in both the USA and the UK. The trio—comprising Dorian Foyil (guitar, saxophone, backing and lead vocals), Adam King (lead and backing vocals), and Mark Boden (keyboards and backing vocals)—brings a unique blend of rock, pop, jazz, and swing influences to the table. Their eclectic sound is fresh yet nostalgic, appealing to fans across different genres.
The band’s unusual name stems from an overheard conversation between an old man and his young son on a New York subway. The child asked a question, and the father casually replied, “It’s because aliens don’t ring doorbells.” This phrase stuck with the band members, who saw it as a metaphor for their approach to music—unconventional, unexpected, and always intriguing.
Their Musical Journey
Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells burst onto the scene with their debut album Arrival in 2020. Featuring standout tracks like Story, Slipping Away, and Consummation, the album showcased their knack for storytelling and powerful melodies. Their music was produced with the help of Jeff Kanan, known for his work on Michael Jackson’s Thriller and other major productions.
In 2022, ADRD continued their rise with the single Hello 2 You, which climbed into the Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 30. With a growing fan base and critical acclaim, they’ve been performing across the globe, bringing their energetic live shows to audiences everywhere.
