AleHouse were an English rock band from Clitheroe, Lancashire. Formed in 2003, the band consisted of members Adam Taylor (vocals), Paul Hoyle (guitars), Ross Kilminster (bass) and Romin Mirsadi (drums). Romin Mirsadi later quit the band in 2005 to be replaced by ROY. Most of the bands material was of post-grunge rock influence although the band also covered songs from a wide range of genres.

The band released the self-titled Alehouse EP in 2006, with both drummers playing on the album originally recorded in 2005. After Romin left the band he was replaced by the much more experienced and able drummer ROY, although Romin had contributed significantly to the lyrics of many of the bands original material. Yet even he will admit the band's sound improved with the addition of a more experienced drummer.

AleHouse's first gig was at the Malt & Hops in Blackburn, Lancashire supporting another local band. They had been together for only a matter of weeks prior to the gig and, by all accounts, put on a somewhat nervy but accomplished performance. Gig's across Lancashire followed, with two shows at The Dog in Clitheroe, in particular, attended by a full audience on both nights. The band played regularly live for the next 3 years.

The band had somewhat of a local following and filled pubs and clubs across Lancashire.

Singer Adam Taylor went on to have local success with numerous bands, most notably, Fudge Funky. As did bass player Ross Kilminster, who, it has to be said was the driving force behind AleHouse. All said and done, though, it was the guitar genius of Paul Hoyle that spear-headed the band's musical direction.

Original drummer Romin Mirsadi, whose unstable character and drug abuse, led to him leaving the band would later claim that when AleHouse released their debut EP he was asked to pay for a copy even though he played on, and wrote the lyrics to, half of the album's songs.

Copies of the band's EP are rare but demo recording's of the their original material can be found online.
