I.D.S.F.A., a metal band from Las Vegas
with heavy punk rock influences, has released their first full-length
album on Carcass Garden Records to fan and critical acclaim. As
evidence of the band members' mixed backgrounds, the album has
even-handed amounts of punk rock and metal, and is sure to please
listeners with hardened ears and harder hearts. The record is
spotlessly performed and surgically engineered, absolutely certain to
garner a new army of I.D.S.F.A. fans. With their psycho-aggressive
sound and jaw-dropping stage show (show is the only sufficient word)
I.D.S.F.A. is sure to stand out for a long, long time. After all,
they are the Vegas Rocks Music Awards first-place winners for Best
Shock Rock Band
Their music has many of the best
elements of the great metal bands of the late eighties and early
nineties. It is more punch and charge than melody, and Guitarist
Paul G. never strays too far from the headstock. Vocalist J. Bishop
schizophrenically channels two personalities. One of these shouts
frenetically with the angry pitch, repetition and phrasing of the 80s
west coast punk vocalists, such as Casey Royer of D.I., while the
other growls like Barney Greenway (Napalm Death) and madly addresses
the audience like Dave Mustaine (Megadeth). Bass player TravisD.
creates an atmosphere of insanity, too, with sniper precision and
rapid, active movements on the neck of his guitar – which guitar,
it must be noted, literally bleeds what appears to be living blood.
To call their rhythm up-tempo would be saying far too little. Drummer
Lowen H. is a human jackhammer with a double-kick style that sounds
like a machine gun firing mortar shells.
Their stage performance, however, bares
especial examination. Flanking the instrumentalists are the
“Bio-Bastards:” Slink moves behind the retina-melting array of
lights; Drab and Sploch are twin monsters who appear in a variety of
personas to pantomime all that is destructive about humanity – just
for fun. Sometimes they are the infected in hazmat outfits.
Sometimes they are gas-masked freaks. Sometimes they are
cleft-chinned, green army men. They play with fire, play with gore,
play percussion on open, glowing drums of toxic waste, and sometimes
wheel out an 8' anti-aircraft cannon to shoot a variety of mayhem
upon the audience. I.D.S.F.A.'s stage show isn't the zany cartoon
style of GWAR's nor the obnoxiousness of Insane Clown Posse's,
though. It's raw, honest, adrenaline-fueled music with a lot of
humor and a titanic amount of entertainment.
IDSFA will be at Sunset Blvd.'s
world-famous Whisky A Go-Go on September 2, 2012 to celebrate their
Official California CD Release Party. Guest list invitations are
available for A&R representatives upon request. Please send
requests to idsfaband@gmail.com
