Look for my interview with Mike Peters here soon. Meanwhile, get the details on what's going on with the band...

“Even in the most simple phases of life when a door seems closed, or life impacts your direction of travel, I’m a believer that there is always a solution and always an option in any given situation - so I never try to get too excited by the highs of life or too downhearted by the lows,” says Mike Peters, vocalist/guitarist of THE ALARM, in a press release.

The single and video, “Another Way” is the fourth from Forwards, the new album, out now via Twenty First Century Recording Company.

Fortifying a new performance clip with powerful imagery of medical corridors and Peters curled in a ball on his hospital bed, the video footage for "Another Way" frames the determination mindset that brought him back from the brink. 

“Another Way” follows "Whatever," “Next,” and the title track, which also serves as the album opener. Forwards is available on both CD and Vinyl with the LP release featuring two different record sleeves and colored vinyl configurations. A vintage green and white star white vinyl edition (Mike’s healing color combo), is being made available to outlets everywhere along with a unique Metallic Green vinyl limited edition available exclusively to independent record stores only.

Forwards is also out on all digital formats including Hi-Res and Dolby Atmos editions.

Described by Bono of U2 as “the second greatest rock and roll band in the world”, Mike Peters has been the driving force behind The Alarm for over forty creative years of new music making and dedication to presenting the band’s classic songs in ways both imaginative and inventive.
