Tin Alley are an Australian rock band from Melbourne formed in 2007 by brothers Paul and Jim Siourthas, and Peter Hofbauer.
[2] In February 2010, the Luke Chable Vs Tin Alley "Out of Control" dance mix was used on many shows and radio playlisted programs Australia wide.
In July 2011, Stefan Waltersson briefly joined the group[7] and in September Tin Alley released "Ride the Wave", written by Jim Siourthas, Peter Hofbauer & Paul Siourthas, which was voted by the music network as a top ten release (a song recorded the previous year) in Queensland.
During the "Bounce Back" release in September 2011, Paul Siourthas signed an endorsement with Australian guitar manufacture Maton.
In 1998 drummer Peter Hofbauer of Austrian descent read an ad in The Sunday Herald and after two auditions joined the band Everything.
The track Polar Bear was only a digital release through MGM,[15] unlike "In Your Hands" which was marketed to Australian record stores.
In December 2007 Tin Alley were struck down with the near loss of Drummer Peter Hofbauer from a serious motorbike accident stopping the band in the midst of their first Australian tour.
It takes more than broken bones to keep me away from what I love most.In late 2008, Tin Alley were back and began work on their second release Crossing Paths.
Tin Alley were invited to assist Juke Kartel on their Return To Australia Tour with other special guests Electric Mary.
Following the success of Out of Control in late December 2009 Tin Alley received notice that Luke Chable was offering to create a special dance version of the band's rock track.
[13] Tin Alley's success to date has been attributed to its sound, which fuses "the riff-heavy stadium rock of the '70s with the grit and anger of '80s post-punk, without ever neglecting hooks and choruses".
Siourthas said in 2007, "Even though there is now only one guitar, I think there's maybe more room now, Peter will pull back and play a solid beat and Jim will do a power chord thing, and I fit into all that."
