ALT BLK ERA to Release New EP and Single “Tissues”
Genre-bending siblings Nyrobi and Chaya have set their sights on 2026 with renewed confidence and recognition as ALT BLK ERA. The duo has recently unveiled their latest EP, Our World, and announced an upcoming headline tour in the UK. ALT BLK ERA, hailing from Nottingham, came together in 2020 amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, they made their mark with the release of the original track “Slowly Die: Solar,” followed by their debut EP, Freak Show, in the following year. Their journey has been marked by notable milestones, including a feature on Delilah Bon’s single “Witch,” a coveted opening slot for the legendary Tom Morello, performances at prestigious festivals like Glastonbury, and nominations for Best UK Breakthrough Act at the Heavy Music Awards and Best Alternative Music Act at the MOBOs.
Their latest offering, the single “Tissues” from the Our World EP, is set to be released on February 4th. Chaya shares that the track explores her personal struggles with chronic fatigue syndrome and reflects a fearlessness in addressing challenging subjects through their music. She emphasizes the importance of tackling emotive themes against a backdrop of catchy hyper/pop-rock beats to create a cathartic listening experience. Nyrobi adds that their musical evolution has been a thrilling journey of self-discovery, culminating in a newfound sense of identity with each new song. The duo is eagerly anticipating their upcoming headline tour, promising a transformative and unforgettable experience for both themselves and their audiences, fueled by the confidence gained from sharing the stage with Pendulum on previous tours.
In an exciting development, ALT BLK ERA has been added to the lineup for Rock For People 2026, a renowned Czech festival featuring headliners such as Gorillaz, Limp Bizkit, Bring Me The Horizon, and Halsey, as well as performances by BABYMETAL, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Papa Roach, and Tom Morello. The music video for their track “Straight To Heart” is now available, serving as a visual accompaniment to their latest release, RAVE IMMORTAL, on Earache Records. Details of their upcoming UK tour, scheduled for May 2026, have been announced, with stops in London, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, and Nottingham, promising an electrifying live experience for their dedicated fanbase.
ALT BLK ERA continues to push boundaries, blend genres, and captivate audiences with their distinctive sound and fearless exploration of personal narratives. With their latest EP, Our World, and the release of the single “Tissues,” the dynamic duo is poised to make a lasting impact on the music scene in 2026 and beyond.
