Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells, that name – because everyone asks – took root many years ago when singer-guitarist-saxophonist Dorian Foyil was on a New York City subway platform with his then-young son and an old man turned to the boy and said, “it’s because aliens don’t ring doorbells,” a phrase that stuck with Foyil from that day forward. When it came to finding a name for the group he formed with fellow songwriter Adam King (lead and backing vocals) what was once just a memory of an old man chattering to himself – if indeed it was just that – just felt right as a band name. Dorian and Adam are complimented with the addition of keyboardist and vocalist, Mark Boden along with Kevin Dean on drums and Earl Forbes on bass.

 Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells (ADRD) is an international power pop rock band with Dorian hailing from the USA, Adam and Mark from the UK and Kevin and Earl from The Bahamas. The guys eventually connected via gigs played along the Costa Blanca of Spain, where a shared love for like-minded music turned out to be serendipity, and a band of brothers was born. In the Summer of 2019, the guys convened to the Bahamas – where Dorian previously spent many years – and began recording demos at Sanctuary Studios. The famed studio has an amazing live room, where the band recorded the critical early demos. In order to attract attention from bigger producers, the band wanted their demos to be as good as possible. That risky, but calculated decision worked.  The first album ‘Arrival’ was recorded at The Keep Studio in Denver, Colorado.  ADRD recorded 12 songs for the first album with producers Jeff Kanan (Grammy award winner who has recorded Madonna, Kelly Clarkson, No Doubt, Sting), Matthew Tryba (One Republic, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift) and Dan Konopka, an LA based producer who is also the drummer for the Grammy award winning band OKGO.
