Listen Here – Out Now!
South West London’s eclectic trio Alpha Neutral is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, ‘Flow Down The River‘, a dynamic blend of pop and reggae that captures the turbulent yet uplifting journey of life. Released on the 1st August, 2025, this track is a testament to the band’s ability to weave personal struggles into infectious, soul-stirring music.
Flow down the River is a lyrical and sonic reflection of life’s relentless current, its highs, lows, and the constant need to adapt. The song draws from the band’s own experiences, from navigating divorce, eviction, homelessness, and single parenthood to the grind of low-paying jobs while chasing their musical dreams. It’s about staying afloat amidst chaos, learning new skills, and finding joy in the beauty of nature, esoteric pursuits, and good company. Like partygoers on a boat riding the rapids, Alpha Neutral invites listeners to join them in embracing life’s flow, tapping their feet to the rhythm of resilience.
Formed in 2016, Alpha Neutral, comprising Matt Barry (guitarist, keyboards, producer), Jeb Holroyd (drums, percussion, vocals), and Annabelle Hawker (vocals), is known for their genre-defying sound. From Matt’s home studio to Jeb’s creative haven, ‘Jeb’s Shed,’ the trio crafts music that refuses to be boxed into one style, fusing pop, reggae, and beyond to create tracks that resonate with diverse audiences. Their inclusive approach welcomes everyone to the party, with each song carrying its own unique identity.
The band’s journey is as rich as their music. Matt, a former engineer at the legendary RAK Studios, has produced hits and toured Europe and Japan. Jeb, a veteran of bands like Hot Cuisine and Maroon Town, has performed at iconic venues like Paradiso and Jazz Café, with his track Who’s Been Kissing You earning airplay on New York’s Kiss FM. Annabelle, a seasoned session vocalist, connected with Matt in a Kingston studio, sparking a creative partnership that has fueled Alpha Neutral’s distinctive sound. Their previous releases, including Too Posh, Influence, Humanity, and Why do you Hurt Me, have garnered global airplay on stations like Deuce Radio, Live 365, B-wave Radio in Chicago, and Banks Radio in Australia. Their 2021 music video for Too Posh is available on YouTube, and their debut album can be streamed on Spotify and Bandcamp.
With 26 songs already released on Bandcamp and more in the pipeline, Alpha Neutral is gearing up for their second album, Elements. Flow down the River is a bold step forward, capturing the band’s unyielding spirit and inviting listeners to ride the current with them. Whether you’re swaying to the beat or reflecting on life’s challenges, this single is a reminder to keep swimming, stay connected, and find joy in the journey.
