Reptilians From Andromeda are from Istanbul and combine elements of post punk, garage, grunge and alt rock to produce a fresh, original sound. They were formed in 2013 by vocalist Aybike Celik Ozbey and guitarist (and also founder of 90's Turkish punk pioneers Rashit) Tolga Ozbey. The current line up is rounded off with bassist Ersin Çağlayan (formerly guitarist of 90's hardcore punk band Radical Noise) and drummer Başak Karacan.
