Alias was an AOR/hard rock band, formed in Montreal in 1988. Singer and guitarist Steve DeMarchi and lead singer Freddy Curci, both former members of the deceased band Sheriff, pulled together near the middle of the '80s to write and record over four dozen demo songs. In 1989, guitarist Roger Fisher, bassist Steve Fossen, and drummer Michael Derosier, all former members of the hit group Heart, joined up with Curci and DeMarchi to from a new, short-lived rock band called Alias.The band released its self-titled debut album in 1990 and went gold, scoring hits with "Waiting For Love" and the power ballad "More Than Words Can Say". a self-titled debut recorded under the Capitol Records label. "After All the Love Is Gone," "Waiting for Love," "Standing in the Darkness," "Free Emotion," and "One More Chance" are some of the pop/rock tunes showcased on the album. The superb debut was a hit in the United States, going gold quickly. The album's success soon crossed the border to Canada, where it reached platinum. Tracks from the debut offering hit the charts in both countries, climbing effortlessly into the top five. Huge tours followed for the group. Impressive reviews floated about and fans had dreams of many more albums, but only a short year after its first release, Alias fell apart. They also recorded the Tonio K song "Perfect World", for the Christina Applegate film, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead. They recorded a second album which has yet to be released.
Alias would disband while touring to promote the album.
In early 2005, an acoustic version of the band's hit ballad "More Than Words Can Say" was released on a VH1 compilation disc, Classic Metal Mania: Stripped.
