Asking Alexandria are an English rock band formed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and now based in York, North Yorkshire, consisting of guitarist Cameron Liddell, drummer James Cassells, vocalist Danny Worsnop, and bassist Sam Bettley.

Initially formed in 2006 by Ben Bruce, the band officially established as a six-piece in 2008 with the founding line-up consisting of Bruce, Worsnop, Cassells, Liddell, Joe Lancaster and Ryan Binns. After the departure of Lancaster and Binns, as well as the recruitment of bassist Sam Bettley in 2009, the band released their debut album Stand Up and Scream (2009). The band released two studio albums Reckless & Relentless (2011) and From Death to Destiny (2013), before the departure of Worsnop in January 2015. He was replaced by Denis Stoff and the band released The Black (2016). Stoff departed from the band in October that year, and Worsnop subsequently returned to the band. The band released their self-titled fifth album in late 2017, which was a marked stylistic departure from their previous works. Their sixth studio album, Like a House on Fire, which was released in 2020, showed the group's continuity of a more straightforward and melodic hard rock sound, while also shifting into different genres. Its follow-up and their seventh studio album, See What's on the Inside, was released in 2021. Their eighth studio album, Where Do We Go from Here?, was released in 2023.

Ben Bruce, the band's lead guitarist and backing vocalist, originally formed the band in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 2003 as "Amongst Us" before renaming to "End of Reason" and the current name in 2006. The band's original line-up consisted of completely different members compared to that of the band's line-up from 2008 and released their debut EP, Tomorrow. Hope. Goodbye in 2006, followed by their self-released debut album titled The Irony of Your Perfection in 2007.{{cite web|last1=Wiederhorn|first1=Jon|title=Interview: Asking Alexandria|url=https://www.guitarworld.com/interview-asking-alexandria?page=0,1|website=Guitarworld.com|publisher=Guitar World|access-date=27 June 2014|page=2|quote=Realizing he would never achieve international recognition in Dubai, Bruce moved on his own to Nottingham, England, in 2008, and after searching the internet for musicians found guitarist Danny Worsnop.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006073957/http://www.guitarworld.com/interview-asking-alexandria?page=0,1|archive-date=6 October 2014|url-status=dead}} After realizing he would not be able to achieve international success in Dubai, he moved back to Nottingham, England in 2008 and reassembled the band with new members from the local area, including lead singer Danny Worsnop, whom he had moved into his flat apartment in York.{{cite web|title=Interview with ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria|url=http://www.independentphilly.com/interview-with-ben-bruce-of-asking-alexandria/|website=Independentphilly.com|publisher=Independent Philly|access-date=27 June 2014}}

The band became a six-piece after recruiting Ryan Binns on synthesizers, James Cassells on drums, Joe Lancaster on bass and Cameron Liddell on rhythm guitar.{{cite web|title=Biography: Asking Alexandria|url=https://www.guitarworld.com/biography-asking-alexandria|website=Guitarworld.com|publisher=Guitarworld|access-date=28 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129223559/http://www.guitarworld.com/biography-asking-alexandria|archive-date=29 November 2014|url-status=dead}} Later that year, Binns decided to leave the band.

Lancaster later joined the metalcore band With One Last Breath.{{cite web|last1=Sciarretto|first1=Amy|title=The UK's With One Last Breath Want to Make It in America|url=http://noisecreep.com/the-uks-with-one-last-breath-want-to-make-it-america-labels/|website=Noisecreep.com|date=21 March 2011 |publisher=Noise Creep|access-date=1 September 2014}}

Bruce carried the name of his previous band over to his new one, due to not wanting the bother of coming up with a new one. However, he insists that despite having the same name, it is not the same band. When asked why he chose that particular name, he explained that "'Most bands have a pretty shit band name, so I just came up with something. I came up with Alexandria as a human name, because people relate to humans." although the reason for using the word 'asking' is not explained.

Stand Up and Scream was recorded during Spring 2009 and was produced by Joey Sturgis.{{cite web|title=Asking Alexandria Stand Up and Scream|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/stand-up-and-scream-mw0000824503/credits|website=AllMusic.com|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=28 August 2014}} The band signed to Sumerian Records and released their debut album on the label on 15 September.

On 22 January 2015, lead singer Danny Worsnop announced his departure from the band to focus on rock music with his new band We Are Harlot. He also stated that despite his departure, the band would continue touring. Lead guitarist Ben Bruce announced that there would be a new lead singer.{{cite web|title=Asking Alexandria frontman, Danny Worsnop, quits band|url=http://www.kerrang.com/27430/asking-alexandria-frontman-danny-worsnop-quits-band/|website=Kerrang.com|publisher=Kerrang!|access-date=23 January 2015}} Fans reacted to news in distress as they believe he was essential to the band's sound, while others were not surprised by his career move, some going as far to say he performs better with his new band We Are Harlot than he does with Asking Alexandria.{{cite web|last1=Ritchie|first1=Andy|title=The internet reacts to Danny Worsnop quitting Asking Alexandria|url=http://www.rocksound.tv/features/read/the-internet-reacts-to-danny-worsnop-Quitting-asking-alexandria|website=Rocksound.tv|publisher=Rocksound|access-date=12 March 2015}} When Bruce was queried regarding his status with Worsnop he stated that he felt abandoned long before his departure since Worsnop's lost the care for screaming and heavier music since their release of their second album, and continued to say that he would not know if he could call him and Worsnop friends.{{cite news|last1=Lipovsky|first1=Andrew|title=Moment of Truth|url=http://www.kerrang.com/31895/k1570-naked-truth-asking-alexandria/|access-date=29 May 2015|work=Kerrang.com|agency=Kerrang!|issue=1570|publisher=Kerrang!|date=30 May 2015}}

When Bruce was asked regarding the sound of the fourth album, he stated that while it will feature influences of Guns N' Roses and Van Halen it will also feature influences from modern bands such as Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot, stating that since the third album was such an unexpected change in musical style he believes that fans will expect further experimentation on the next, therefore having less backlash from their fan base.{{cite web|last1=Jackie|first1=Full Metal|title=Asking Alexandria's Ben Bruce on New Album Plans, His Own Record Label + More|url=http://loudwire.com/asking-alexandria-ben-bruce-new-album-plans-his-own-record-label-more/|website=Loudwire.com|date=24 September 2014 |publisher=Loudwire|access-date=9 March 2015}} He has also stated that they started writing material for the album while on tour in summer of 2014 and had written around 18 tracks, and estimates that it will be released between July and August 2015.{{cite news|title=The 2015 Hotlist|url=http://www.kerrang.com/26790/k1550-2015-secrets-ultimate-preview/|access-date=16 March 2015|work=Kerrang!|agency=Kerrang!|issue=1550|date=7 January 2015}}

On 26 May 2015, Denis Stoff, formerly the guitarist and vocalist of Ukrainian metalcore bands Make Me Famous and Down & Dirty, was revealed as the new lead vocalist when the band released "I Won't Give In", their first single with him, on 27 May.{{cite web|title = Asking Alexandria Reveal Frontman, Stream New Song I Won't Give In|url = http://www.kerrang.com/31929/asking-alexandria-reveal-frontman-stream-new-song-i-wont-give/|first = Emily|website = Kerrang!|date = 27 May 2015|access-date = 27 May 2015|last = Carter}} Speculation regarding Stoff's involvement started shortly after Worsnop's departure due to similarities between Asking Alexandria and Make Me Famous (who were said to have been ripping off the band's sound); the fact that they were label mates would have made the transition easy for Stoff to make, and on his personal YouTube account he had covered multiple Asking Alexandria songs.{{cite web|last1=Crane|first1=Matt|title=Is this Asking Alexandria's new singer|url=http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/is_this_asking_alexandrias_new_singer|website=Altpress.com|date=26 January 2015|publisher=Alternative Press|access-date=27 May 2015}} Bruce was asked if he considered anyone else for the role and he stated that "It has to be Denis" going on to praise his much greater vocal range and since he was inspired by Worsnop in the earlier stages of Asking Alexandria he can perform their songs live much better than Worsnop could, however when Stoff himself was asked how he would distinguish himself from him, he stated he would not make any comparison since he is a completely different person.

In mid-October 2016, it was speculated that the band had settled their differences with original lead vocalist Danny Worsnop and that some sort of collaborative effort would be made after several pictures were posted of Worsnop and Bruce in the studio together.{{cite web|url=http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/what_are_asking_alexandria_teasing_with_ex_frontman_danny_worsnop|title=What are Asking Alexandria teasing with ex-frontman Danny Worsnop?|website=Alternative Press|date=19 October 2016|access-date=31 October 2016}} However, it was revealed two days later that Worsnop had actually returned to the band as an official member after the departure of Denis Stoff. Ben Bruce explained that after a long period of time of not communicating with the band, Stoff stated, "Asking Alexandria does not exist unless I get what's owed to me".{{cite news|url=http://www.kerrang.com/45837/danny-worsnop-returns-asking-alexandria-denis-stoff-departs/|title=Danny Worsnop Returns To Asking Alexandria As Denis Stoff Departs|date=22 October 2016|newspaper=Kerrang!|access-date=31 October 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/ben-bruce-asking-alexandria-back-original-members/|title=Ben Bruce: Asking Alexandria Back With 'Original F--king Members'|website=Loudwire|date=22 October 2016 |access-date=31 October 2016}} Worsnop also opened up about his return to the band, stating that "this is something that [he] can embrace again".{{cite magazine|url=http://www.rocksound.tv/news/read/danny-worsnop-on-his-asking-alexandria-return-this-is-something-i-can-embra|title=Danny Worsnop On His Asking Alexandria Return: "This Is Something I Can Embrace Again" - News |magazine=Rock Sound Magazine|access-date=31 October 2016}} When the band performed again for the first time with Worsnop since Stoff's departure, their set list excluded all songs from their most recent album The Black and instead consisted of songs that they had not performed in years.{{cite news|url=http://teamrock.com/news/2016-10-28/watch-official-footage-of-worsnop-live-with-asking-alexandria|title=Watch official footage of Worsnop live with Asking Alexandria|date=28 October 2016|newspaper=Metal Hammer|access-date=31 October 2016}} This occurred just as the band headlined Sumerian's "Ten Years in the Black Tour" supported by Veil of Maya, Born of Osiris, I See Stars, Upon a Burning Body, After the Burial, and Bad Omens. As time went on more information regarding Stoff had been released, such as that Stoff had lip-synced the band's older songs during live performances, an accusation made by Worsnop's lawyers who notified him after sending Stoff a cease and desist.
