ALPS

 ALPS are an electro-indie rock group who's songs were birthed in the trial of life but born of the hope of God. The songs, identifiably honest and engaging, are wrapped in immersive, expansive guitars and cascading piano hooks that provide a landscape for arresting vocals.

ALPS consist of Keyboardist and vocalist, Bethany Gainsford, guitarist and vocalist, Matt Gainsford.

ALPS journey as both artists and people has been fraught with challenge, victory, doubt and endurance. Back in 2010, a year after meeting guitarist, Matt Gainsford, Bethany was involved in a head on collision that nearly took her life. Broken bones, metal plates and an ensuing recovery of both the heart, body and spirit stared her down. Music looked all but over. Brokenness, doubt, hope and restoration are key themes that meander through ALPS music.
Fast forward to five years later and ALPS are working on their debut album, due for release in the summer of 2016. The scars that we wear both on our bodies and in our hearts, point to the fact that we are still here, we are still fighting, we are still overcoming and in the weaknesses we carry, we are made strong when we cling to the hope unshakeable. ALPS want to invite you into this journey, to encourage you to look higher and to know there is a hope unwavering.

Nick Kraeuter of The Spark describes ALPS as "An identifiably honest, dynamic duo that dives to the depths of themselves to know and to see the beauty of a God who is bigger and greater than one can imagine".
