Description:
Though the bloodlines are there, Battle Alaska have cut themselves from the umbilical chord of post-hardcore, emo, screamo, and the rest of the sub-punk genres. Melodic, dissonant, anthemic and ambitious, this is rock at a pure level.
Genre:
Rock
History:
Hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, guitarist Pooh and vocalist Zac Woodring began playing together in the summer of 2002. Touring extensively throughout the Southeast, they developed a substantial and devoted fanbase. Seeking to expand their audience, Pooh and Woodring made the move to Los Angeles in July 2004. Eventually adding bassist Ian Banca and Drummer Jason Ywahu, they formed the current lineup of Battle Alaska.
The band's newest album, “The Coward's Cabaret,” is an aural diary of the last two years. It is an attempt to reconcile the struggle of losing a hometown, friends and family in order to follow a dream. It is an awakening to the reality of Los Angeles. The music is raw but mature, and the lyrics are brutally open about the loss, learning, and experience that come from change. It is a sound combining unbridled ferocity and desperate tenderness. It is a song that demands to be heard.
Who are they like? Glassjaw, Head Automatica, Finch, At The Drive in
