Stereo Virgins are a four piece alternative rock band from Wirral. 

They are often compared to American grunge bands of the 90s making 

them an interesting addition to the local music scene. When asked 

about the origin of their sound they cite Smashing Pumpkins, 

Pavement, Hole, Sonic Youth, Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana 

amongst their influences. 

The band completed their formation in 2007 and immediately began 

writing and rehearsing. The line up consists of sisters Rachel 

(guitar/vocals) and Beck Alveston (bass/backing vocals) with Stu 

Sinclair (guitar/vocals) and Lyam Kirkham (drums and percussion). 

Stereo Virgins have progressed from playing privately for family and 

friends to gigging around Liverpool at a number of venues which 

include The Cabin Club, The Magnet, [old] Korova, Mojo and the O2 

Academy 2. The 21st of July 2010 saw a landmark in SV history with 

the band playing their first headlining show at Mojo with a very 

positive outcome. 

The band are currently hoping to record some of the live favourites 

such as ’Marmalade’ and ’Easy Argument’ in the near future and are 

looking forward to their upcoming gigs. They are also looking to book 

more gigs in October and beyond.
