Initially formed in 2006 by Ben Bruce, the band officially established as a six-piece in 2008 with the founding line-up consisting of Bruce, Worsnop, Cassells, Liddell, Joe Lancaster and Ryan Binns. After the departure of Lancaster and Binns, as well as the recruitment of bassist Sam Bettley in 2009, the band released their debut album ''[[Stand Up and Scream]]'' (2009). The band released two studio albums ''[[Reckless & Relentless]]'' (2011) and ''[[From Death to Destiny]]'' (2013), before the departure of Worsnop in January 2015. He was replaced by [[Denis Stoff]] and the band released ''[[The Black (album)|The Black]]'' (2016). Stoff departed from the band in October that year, and Worsnop subsequently returned to the band. The band released their [[Asking Alexandria (album)|self-titled]] fifth album in late 2017, which was a marked stylistic departure from their previous works. Their sixth studio album, ''[[Like a House on Fire]]'', which was released on 15 May 2020, showed the group's continuity of a more straightforward and melodic [[hard rock]] sound, while also shifting into different genres. Its follow-up and their seventh studio album, ''[[See What's on the Inside]]'', was released on 1 October 2021. Their eighth studio album, ''[[Where Do We Go from Here? (Asking Alexandria album)|Where Do We Go from Here?]]'', was released on 25 August 2023.

Bruce carried the name of his previous band over to his new one, due to not wanting the bother of coming up with a new one. However, he insists that despite having the same name, it is not the same band.<ref name="Asking Alexandria formation interview" /> When asked why he chose that particular name, he explained that "'''Most bands have a pretty shit band name, so I just came up with something. I came up with Alexandria as a human name, because people relate to humans.''" although the reason for using the word 'asking' is not explained.<ref name="Band name meaning and roots" />
