2) Brendon Whitney (April 5, 1976 – March 30, 2018), better known by his stage name Alias, was a producer and rapper from Hollis, Maine. He was a co-founder of the indie hip hop record label Anticon.
Whitney was born in Portland, Maine to a jazz drummer and a church organist, grew up in a suburb called Hollis and played drums in his high school band. Isolated in a small town, alias found no music that captivated him until at age 13 when he saw "Yo MTV Raps." Alone in his interest in hiphop, alias sought to immerse himself in this foreign counter-culture. He bought The Source monthly at the one shop in Maine that carried it, and by age 14 he was writing his own raps. In support of his new found passion, his parents bought him a drum machine for Christmas, and alias rapped over his own beats in the privacy of his bedroom, too shy to share his rhymes with anyone.
However, in 1993, upon meeting Sole, who was already recording and doing shows, alias began rapping in ciphers at parties. He moved his "studio" from his bedroom to a friend's basement where he taught himself to use an MPC 3000 and an ADAT machine. In '96 he started doing shows with The Live Poets (sole's group) around New England.
In '98 during the deep puddle dynamics sessions in Minneapolis with Slug, dose and sole, alias realized that music would be his life's work. Now taking himself seriously as a rapper and producer, he moved with the first wave of the anticon West Coast migration into a warehouse in East Oakland with his wife Jen and sole. Within a year he had recorded the other side of the looking glass, his first solo release, a rap-heavy introspective opus. alias found himself drawn more towards production while working on tracks for sole's selling live water album, and in 2002-03 he recorded his first instrumental project, the eyes closed ep (out now) which anticipates the upcoming muted full-length (oct 2003).
Alias has collaborated with every member of the anticon roster, Slug of Atmosphere, Sage Francis, DJ Krush, and Markus Acher of the Notwist. He has toured the world, performing with such acts as The Roots, Dalek, Freestyle Fellowship, and Kid 606.
3) Alias was A UK grime and dark garage producer.
4) Alias was a Southern Rock band featuring members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Rossington Collins Band. They released the album Contraband in 1979.
5) Alias was a traditional metal band from Sarasota, Florida. Formed in 1985 and released their self titled debut in 1987 and the follower Metal to Infinity two years later.
6) Alias is American action television series created by J. J. Abrams which was broadcast on ABC for five seasons, from September 30, 2001 to May 22, 2006. It starred Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, a CIA agent.
The main theme of the series explores Sydney's obligation to conceal her true career from her friends and family, even as she assumes multiple aliases to carry out her missions. These themes are most prevalent in the first two seasons of the show. A major plotline of the series was the search for and recovery of artifacts created by Milo Rambaldi, a fictional Leonardo da Vinci-like inventor and Nostradamus-like prophet from the Renaissance period. This plot and some technologies used in the series pushed Alias into the genre of science fiction.
7) Alias is a Scottish Techno duo formed by Harvey McKay and Ryan McKay. They debuted on Drumcode with their Visions EP in 2017. Also listed as Alias (GB).
Waiting For Love
Alias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darling I've been wondering how I'm gonna let you go
You made me build you a perfect world, to keep you satisfied
But now you're just a broken dream, and when I get back my pride
You'll still be waiting for love
You'll still be waiting for the sun to rise,
You'll still be waiting for love
I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by
You'll still be waiting for love
Like a dream there's a lucky feeling, coming from my soul
Girl I guess I learned the truth
That you already know (Oh oh oh)
Took me a while to realize, it's a dark and lonely town
And you'll know where you'll find yourself,
when the wall comes
Tumbling down
You'll still be waiting for love
You'll still be waiting for the sun to shine,
In the middle of the night
You'll still be waiting for love
I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by
You'll still be waiting for love
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
But it really doesn't matter
I'm gonna leave my tears behind
And you'll still be waiting

This band should have been massive.
Adrian Bradley
I think this band was unheard of by most rock fans as their sound is melodic/AOR which in my opinion is the most underrated and ignored music genre ever but it is my favourite rock genre.
Robert Hanson
Agreed they had the melodic sound and the look.
