RELEASE.NOTES
Besides the interesting name which nods towards the hellish nightmare of a prison and the escape from its walls accomplished in 1962 by Clarence Anglin, John Anglin, Frank Morris and Allen West, IA62 bring forth a nightmarish sound mixing metal and hardcore in a violent prison riot of a mix. Blending with ease the crusty crunchy chaos of The Unsane and the explosiveness of Scars Of Tomorrow, these guys drop bombs from the beginning and the rest is just us awaiting the fallout. The band previously released an EP in 2009 titled Still Strong, which was merely an introduction to what was to come. The Dream EP harnesses the rawness and epicness one would expect from a seasoned band releasing their 4th full length upon the world. Alas, this is merely another EP and its filled to the brim with toxic vocals and destructive grooves and beat downs. Tracks like The Want (featuring Tyler Greene of the now defunct ABACABB) highlight what this band does best. They destroy you quickly and without remorse and let you breathe, only for a second with Andre Bravo giving us his best Mike Milford soulful clean vocal, before turning right around and finishing you off. Its in tracks like Speed Of Spinning Earth that you realize these guys arent here to play. They paid attention in the late 90's and early 2000's to what was hot and have rendered it an artform. In Alcatraz 1962 bring forth a heavy, mosh inducing music that has been sadly absent since bands like the severely overlooked Scars Of Tomorrow, Sinai Beach and The Unsane either disbanded or have seemingly fell off the face of the Earth. With the release of Dream and the interest these guys have been garnering as of late, I see no reason they shouldnt get picked up and thrust further into the faces of hungry metal and hardcore kids everywhere.
