As It Is, the transatlantic pop-rock quintet, hails from Brighton, UK consisting of Patty Walters (vocals), Benjamin Biss (vocals, guitar), Andy Westhead (guitar), Patrick Foley (drums), Alistair Testo (bass). As It Is has successfully established an ever-growing, devout fan following with their heart-on-sleeve, honest and relatable lyrics, charged with pop-rock melodies and has steadily built their reputation as one of UK's brightest new names with the 2015 release of their debut album 'Never Happy, Ever After,' which was noted by Rock Sound as "everything a modern pop-punk album should be," and by Outburn Magazine as "an impressive first outing that sets the stage for As It Is' bright future."
The band was noted as one of Alternative Press' 100 Bands You Need To Know in 2015, voted Best British Newcomer by Rock Sound in their Reader's Poll, and lead singer Patty Walters was featured on the cover of their New Music Issue. The band has criss-crossed the U.S. as a standout act on the Vans Warped Tour 2015, have shared the stage with Mayday Parade, Real Friends, and This Wild Life, among many others, and was nominated for Best International Band in the Alternative Press Awards 2016.
