Rescue through Tomahawk

Alaska! is singer/guitarist Imaad Wasif (lowercase 1993-2000), bassist/backing vocalist Russ Pollard (Sebadoh 1997-2000), and drummer Lesley Ishino (Red Aunts 1990-1998). On their second album, the trio takes the elements of harmony, discord, and beauty that are integral to the songs and evolves them into a thrashing beat. Rescue breathes a sound that is pure and heavy. As a whole, it's a twisted opera of confessions and the seeking of truths. The songs weave to form the story of an undying battle; of going over the edge and searching for a way back. But there is no going back. You can only go forward into a new unknown. A lovesick letter written from the point of no return.
