The I.Z.A.

"WOW! Could music get any worse? I did not think so until I heard the I.Z.A. Come on! Learn to play before making sort of attempt to record music. Don't give me attitude either. No need to tell me I am gonna hate your music before I listen to it. But of course I did, because it displays no talent whatsoever. It's like they picked up the guitar, played three random chords, and called it a song. Then they spent some cash and recorded the music and then somehow it came into my hands and almost deafened me with its awful tastelessness creativity. I suggest leaving Boston before you ruin the music scene with your apocalyptic taste in music. Take ten years of lessons and maybe you will be able to play good enough to be considered a musician. But of course you will never be able to write a song because you have your head so far up your ass to see any sort of color pattern in music."

"The I.Z.A. - Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse

I found this band on OFNR which is an internet based radio station. Since I started writing here on Current I am picking up a lot of radio stations as followers on myspace and twitter which is cool because their playlists give me loads of material to review as I search for kickass songs to feature here on the indie music channel.

The I.Z.A. is a band out of Boston and OFNR is featuring their song "Aim For The Head" which I think is the best one of the three that they have up on their myspace player. That said though I like all three songs quite a bit.

To understand The I.Z.A. you have to realize their music is based on "life in a post-apocalyptic world" and at first that may seem a bit weird. On the other hand I really like Resident Evil, both the game and the movies so I can follow the concept.

I think the music these guys do isn't dependent on the Resident Evil framework. Even if you don't know what the basis of the songs are they are frigging great tunes! Watch this video and then go and listen to the other two on their player. Their stuff is loud and raw and beautiful and I really like it." - Mike Johnston - Current.com

"An afternoon performance by a band named The I.Z.A. demonstrated rock 'n' roll showmanship. Their style was much heavier than most of the bands at the festival and they played tight. The I.Z.A. rocked it hard at Railroad Square and also have been rocking the Keene State College radio station, WKNH." - The Equinox 9/4/08
