ALAS, THE OCEAN is an indie folk-rock project started in high school by multi-instrumentalist Allen Rapadas. Often described as a mixture of indie folk and contemporary pop, ALAS, THE OCEAN is pure acoustic emotion.

ATO has also played 30 shows across the United States while touring with long time family friend and Calgary-based musician DAVID DEWOLFE.
