Like many other bands the members of The Alpine met in high school and started playing together in different groups. They formed the band Aroma which after a while and a change of line-up became The Alpine as we know it today.

Living in Aalborg in the northern part of Denmark the band created the studio and rehearsal facilities called Quinten together with other young musicians from the city. Here they had their second home and gave birth to numerous recordings of their music.

Some of those recordings ended on producer Kasper Windings lap, who immediately invited the band to Copenhagen for studio sessions. Through the next year the band recorded with both him and English producer Rik Simpson for a forthcoming debut release. However the project stranded and left The Alpine back on their own, without a record deal but much more matured as a band nevertheless.

In the fall of 2002 they released the promo-cd World Record and started booking their own live-shows. Soon the venues in Denmark noticed the band from the north and throughout 2003 The Alpine played many live shows. Danish national radio, P3 playlisted the song Ground Beneath Me in the spring of 2003 after it topped their demo-chart for several weeks.

Around that time The Alpine was, chosen to take part of the project Upcoming.dk initiated by Rytmisk Musik Danmark and Christian Backman from EMI Records. The purpose of this project was to help and guide the band forward in their musical career. The Alpine also signed with Swedish management Promopop and went to Stockholm in April 2003 to do their first Swedish showcase.
