IWRESTLEDABEARONCE: New Video Interview

August 12, 2010

Groovey of Colorado Music Buzz & Entertainment recently conducted an interview with IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, the Shreveport, Louisiana quintet now transplanted to Birmingham, Alabama. You can now watch the chat below.

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE's latest album, "It's All Happening", sold 4,300 copies of its in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 121 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 1 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE recently released the "It's All Happening" (Century Media Records) three-disc deluxe reissue CD, which includes the "It's All Remixed" bonus CD and DVD, featuring a variety of remixes and exclusive video. The "It's All Happening" bonus DVD includes song stems for listeners to create their own remixes as well as in-studio webisodes, tour journals, music videos and additional video content.

On "It's All Happening", IWRESTLEDABEARONCE embraces elements of grindcore, electronica, jazz, rock 'n' roll and even a little country for a chaotic aural concoction that's as intoxicating as it is incendiary, including the single and video "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon", which burned up the Sirius Hard Attack charts, achieved massive amounts of views on YouTube and is now available for Rock Band 2 on the Rock Band Network.

Produced by Ryan Boesch (NORMA JEAN) and recorded in Ross Robinson's Venice Beach studio, "It's All Happening" segues from guitarists Steven Bradley and John Ganey's syncopated spastic riffs to dance-floor-ready rhythms and beats courtesy of bassist Mike "Rickshaw" Martin and drummer Mikey Montgomery. Above this explosion of styles, vocalist Krysta Cameron screams with precise brutality, before crooning out hauntingly ethereal passages. On cuts like "Danger in the Manger" and "You Ain't No Family", her voice swings like a sledgehammer from bludgeoning to beautiful. The band's charm lies in their sonic sense of ADD — catapulting "The Cat's Pajamas" and "Pazuzu For The Win" from battle-ready math metal to danceable hip hop doused in jazz for good measure.
