Karma To Burn and Sons of Alpha Centauri - The Definitive 7" Trilogy
Sons of Alpha Centauri and Karma to Burn return for a boxset of the split trilogy!

Over the past 10 years Karma to Burn and Sons of Alpha Centauri have engaged on an audio assault by ram raiding riff after riff into the instrumental stoner stratosphere. This cosmic mission commenced on star date 2007 when members of each band worked together on a project entitled 'Alpha Cat' resulting in the split collaboration album 'Last Day of Summer' released on Underdogma Records in 2009.

When the KTB reunion was fully confirmed then the floodgates opened and over the course of five years 3 split vinyls followed from both bands including the first of the DesertFest vinyl releases and multiple shows across the UK.

Karma to Burn will be back touring Europe this month and over the upcoming European tour they will publish, together with their friends of Sons of Alpha Centauri this strictly limited boxset as 'The Definitive 7" Trilogy!'  It will be released (trippin') on the 4th of July!

2017 - Phase II Begins

Sons of Alpha Centauri would like to reflect on 2016 and say thank you for all your support. We would also like to thank all those who attended our performance with Yawning Man in London.

New Year's Day 2017 saw the launch of our next generation website along with our new band logo. The rebuilt version has been enhanced for mobile browsing and has integrated technologies such as YouTube and SongKick which make it the best place to keep up-to-date with SOAC. The website is the first of many updates and upgrades to the SOAC project.

2016 has seen the band committed to the production and recording of the second album. In advance of the new album we have been working with some excellent artists on some special exclusive and highly limited musical releases to bridge the eponymous and second album releases.

The build towards the second album has started… and after 10 years the album sleepers have awoken and Phase II begins!

Exclusive DesertFest Vinyl

Our third 7” vinyl release split with Karma to Burn on H42 Records has been released and sees us near a vision that we started back in 2010.

To celebrate the release of the third vinyl an exclusive version was made available for "DesertFest". This was the first in the DesertFest series on future split 7” vinyl.

SOAC are nearing completion of our series of vinyl releases including and most notably the "Karma to Burn / Sons of Alpha Centauri" trilogy set.

The exclusive DesertFest vinyl and the third split are all available through the online shop.

Once the vinyl vision has been delivered then "Sons of Alpha Centauri" will conclude the first phase of the band and begin the delivery of "Phase II" due to commence in 2016.

Phase I concludes all of our work from the debut album until now. Phase II will be the commencement on the second album and a new dawning for Sons of Alpha Centauri.
