- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Philadelphia, where the weak are killed and eaten, but also home to I Am
   Alaska, the newest band signed to Attic Records and step son of No Sleep
   Records. Bringing a five-piece ensemble to the stage, I Am Alaska serves to
   sucker-punch listeners and audience members with a non-stop barrage of
   ground-breaking sounds and a fantastic live show.Formed out of the ruins of
   Crossing at Red Lights and Phineas, I Am Alaska formed in December 2007 with
   a shared mentality of trying to reform the current music industry. Vocalist
   Rob Hackert says: We wanted to do something totally different... away from
   the traditional... that attracted listeners for a variety of reasons, in a
   number of new ways. What you get from this goal is their EP A Day In A Life,
   a smoothly blended record in the vein of Circa Survive and At The Drive In
   that merges progressive writing styles with relentless passion, all while
   subtly introducing non-traditional writing styles. Straying from the typical
   verse-chorus-verse format of songwriting, I Am Alaska brings to the table a
   reformed writing style, relying on catchy, complex guitar parts and unique
   drum beats to hold your attention, while weaving through intricate lyrical
   plots and stong vocal expression.

   Combining forces with Vince Ratti of Zolof and the Rock and Roll Destroyer to
   record the album, A Day In A Life captures the beginning of this incredibly
   talented band, leaving their raw sound blended perfectly with smooth melodies
   and intense lyrics. Based off of the idea of portraying multiple characters,
   each through one song a piece, I Am Alaskas debut EP is full of introspection
   into the interrelatedness of all human beings, no matter how different.
   Sharing common problems, mentalities, and experiences, the eloquent lyrics
   serve to drive home an intensely emotion experience to the listener, combined
   with

   I Am Alaska is just beginning but you can be assured that this is just the
   beginning. Already playing heavily across the East Coast, I Am Alaska is
   going on the road with their friends balance&composure of doylestown,pa for a
   week long tour around the east coast. Already sharing the stage with bands
   like Envy on the Coast, I Am Alaska is anxious to get out on the road and
   show the world what theyve got to offer. Offering not only a great show and
   strong philosophical sentiment with their songs, I Am Alaska throws a fresh,
   unique taste of progressive music styled in a completely new way to their
   audience and leaves them anticipating what theyll come out with next!
