Biography

From the echoing hallways of an average, everyday high school in small-town Beloit, Wisconsin a band was born. As soon as Andy Lutz, Phil Carper, Brad LeBaron, and Peter Murray began making music together, they knew that the mundane everyday of conventional work or school was not their path. Dubbing themselves Alakrity, a variation on a traditional English word meaning “cheerful readiness,” the band is quickly establishing a name for itself. In true Carpe Diem style, the pop punk foursome has set sail to create life-changing moments. To make something that matters.

Upon graduating from high school, the band was signed to Wisconsin-based Spurgatory Records. Wasting no time, the band’s energetic and entertaining live performances were backed by the label’s release of the You Are Here EP. “The response to the EP has been pretty positive. A lot of kids have told us that they felt down and then listened to a song of ours and it picked them up, brightened their day”, relays LeBaron. “It all still seems kind of odd to me but the fans are why we do what we do. It’s a privilege to talk to and give advice to them and know that we’re making an impact in their life.”

Alakrity’s refreshing brand of honest high-energy pop punk is equal parts entertainment and expression. Although chock full of sweat, jokes, and pogo the band’s music is methodically executed while always careful to not overshadow their message. The members’ Christian worldview permeates their lyrics at every turn, never hanging ashamed but also never forcing the listener’s hand.
