Alien Armor

A few shots from one of our four sets at last month’s Roswell UFO Festival. We had an absolute blast (figuratively.) There’s something surreal about playing where the legend first touched down.

Sending our sound waves into the same skies that sparked decades of interstellar stories was a great experience and one we hope to recreate next year.

As we prepare for our gig at this year's UFO Festival in Roswell, we’re kicking off a new series of book reviews focused on space and science fiction stories that inspire the sound and spirit of Alien Armor.

First up is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, author of The Martian. In Jay’s view, this is Weir’s finest work to date. Fans of Sanderson, Zahn, and Herbert will feel right at home as this one has all the markings of a modern sci-fi classic. It’s a tightly woven, science-driven adventure built around an extinction-level threat to Earth. The pacing is electric, and the stakes are huge. I couldn’t put it down and even grabbed the Whispersync version just to keep going while working. For fans of film, you’ll catch echoes of Memento, Enemy Mine, and Arrival. But beyond the tech and tension, this is a story about unlikely friendship, perseverance, and the best parts of what it means to be human. Highly recommended.
