Retrospect Records, one the largest hard rock and metal re-issue labels on the planet, is bringing '80s U.S. metal band ALIAS to perform at Rocklahoma 2011. This show will mark the band’s first performance in more than 20 years and will feature their original line-up.

Alias will be performing songs from their 1987 self-titled debut album and their 1989 follow-up, Metal To Infinity. Both the Friday night and Sunday performances will be recorded for a possible later release. Last year, Retrospect Records re-released the band’s debut album which has been digitally re-mastered and is available for the first time ever on CD.

The Sarasota, FL-based band was formed in the early '80s, released two albums and featured vocalist Len Jarrell (UNLEASHED POWER, SURGEON), guitarist Mark Severns (TYGER TYGER, JEFF AUSTIN PROJECT), bassist Dirk Van Tilborg (ATTAKK) and drummer Phil Arnt. The CD is available worldwide at www.retrospectrecords.com and through various international distributors.
