Finally! Vinylly! The Prison break of our dreams at long last. Freedom is the goal for Rockaway Beach’s very own state-of-mind jam band. Everybody’s got their point of view, and one slamming riff at a time unites all of them: five guys, four vocals, three guitars together outrageously, melding a craft that runs on it’s own rock and roll synergy, and lots of it. Sure, it goes too far! How the hell else you gonna get Upstate?
Prison embrace a loose, free-flowing style that allows them to capture immersive sonic landscapes with spontaneity and improvisation, in both live and studio environments. What each member brings to the band is woven together in a multi-dimensional aural experience. Different instruments, melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and sounds combine to form a complex and captivating auditory textile.
On "Destroy/Cookin' With Heat (EDIT)", Prison's multi-headed beast rears itself in this outside-in jam edit. Prison, in the middle of a riot goin' on, lets loose with both barrels and the sound steams forth from their hands as if beyond their control: slamming Stooges riffs vs gargled arcana from deep within their autobiographies! Contradistinctions! And with every additional minute they plug in, these five dudes churn further into deepest head-space.
Don't just take this omnipresent narrator's word for it, listen to "Destroy/Cookin' With Heat (EDIT)" and lock down their debut double LP on August 25th!
8/25/ at Ripper's in Rockaway, NY*
