Always the Alibi (ATA)[1] is an indie rock band based out of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Always the Alibi ranked #1 on Reverb Nation's Dallas Alternative chart in 2012 with EP "We Are Waiting". The band went on a hiatus in 2013 due to lead singer Henry Coke's battle with brain cancer.[2]
Always the Alibi returned in 2016, attempting to regain its earlier success.[3] In recognition of Coke's time spent battling cancer, the band named their next release, “Reprieve,”[4] along with the cover depicting his radiation mask. Coupled with Grammy-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith, the release was featured on radio stations in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, such as 97.1 The Eagle.[5][6]
