The story of Alpha Safari started when lead vocalist Patrik Wiréns previous band Misery Loves Co split up in the year 2000. Together with Entombed guitarist Ufo Cederlund and the rhythm section of Patrik Thorngren (bass) and Olle Dahlstedt (drums) the four of them began playing together as Washoe and soon did a few shows in the Stockholm area.

Their first demo, with songs like "Björklinge" and "It wasn't designed for us", spawned great reviews from the most conservative of rock & indie critics before the band changed their name to Alpha Safari. Their debut, "Commercial Suicide", will be released August 18 in Scandinavia. USA and Europe will follow shortly after.
