Sons of Alpha Centauri are an instrumental rock band residing in the Swale area. Formed on the hottest day of July 2001 by Nick Hannon (bass) and Marlon King (guitars) the project initiated to pioneer alternative riff rock and encapsulate genres from classic rock though to avant-garde experimentation. The duo wrote 25 tracks before contacting drummer Stevie B. and Andrew Blake who worked closely with the band to deliver textures, samples and atmospheric ambience. This completed their line up in spring 2004. Tracks were composed as numbers (to correspond to their chronological order) and instrumental from onset. SOAC are a group of musicians and contemporary artists who refuse to compromise artistic integrity and their musical themes and concepts have been solely devised and derived from the inspiration and influence of their surroundings on the Isle of Sheppey and Sittingbourne, Kent.
