Eye Alaska

Eye Alaska, Who Are You? Where Did You Come From? Why are you not Huge? I have not had time to divulge this entire album for its certain strengths and weaknesses. However Im certain that for being out since JULY it has certainly been underrated or not rated AT ALL. This is a shame. From Fearless Records comes this unexpected gem. Usually Fearless Records is known for boy bands with "just enough talent" they aren't great they are just good lookin, girls love them, and make catchy songs about relationships (sorry: The Maine, Mayday Parade, Plain White T's).

Eye Alaska (Genesis Underground) is best explained by an early Maroon 5 album with some cheesy love songs thrown in there for the girls to gawk over. The band describes it as "cinematic rock"

Im most impressed by the grooviness of songs like "Show Me" which is groovin and jazzy. Sometimes the soul is hard to believe but the band certainly captures a new groove for Fearless Records and goes against the grain of what is popular right now.

"Roll Right Over" is the download that can't be missed. It is cleverly crafted with a great beat, and an infectious chorus that showcases Eye Alaska at its best. I imagine Eye Alaska playing at an outdoor event during the summer and everyone groovin slowly to these upbeat songs.
