About

Ascari are a three-piece alternative rock and metal band from Hertfordshire, UK. Their music incorporates the sounds from their wide spanning influences, such as Rush, Tool, and Radiohead, giving an inventive, fresh sound. The band was formed by Aiden Mustafa (bass & vocals) and Keiran Bates (drums) whilst at school in 2018, sparked by their common love for heavy and alternative music. They were then introduced to guitarist James Sumsion, who officially joined the band in 2019. In 2022 Ascari released their first single, ‘Unspoken’ and played their first live shows. After more gigs the following year, they are continuing to perform in 2024 and releasing more original music.
