alt-J are an alternative band from the UK, formed in 2008 by four friends who met at Leeds University.  Having forged their own unique sound combining elements of electronic, folk and guitar music, the band recorded and released their debut album 'An Awesome Wave' in 2012.  Critically lauded, 'An Awesome Wave' won the Mercury Music Prize, an Ivor Novello 'Album Award' for songwriting and three BRIT award nominations. The album has now gone platinum in the UK and sold over 1,000,000 albums worldwide. Their second album This Is All Yours was released in September 2014 to rapturous acclaim and went in at Number One in the UK chart, no.4 in the US Billboard chart and subsequent Top 10 positions in the majority of Europe. Described by Q Magazine - "This sumptuous riddle of a record is a celebration of everything but normality" with rave reviews internationally, alt-J look set to continue their global dominance with a full touring schedule with shows at the O2 Arena, Madison Square Garden.
