I Am Alaska is an Indie Rock band with Post-Hardcore aspects that has the labels recommending the band for fans of The Mars Volta, Circa Survive, At The Drive-In, and Glassjaw. The main concern would be if this mixture could successfully be pulled off. The Philadelphia five-piece, which formed in late 2006, is signed to Attic Records and No Sleep Records for the release of their debut EP A Day In A Life. The goal of the band is to record an album different from what every other band is recording. As stated by Rob in Ryan Williford's interview, “Jay and I got to talking about music and our discontent with the music bands were putting out, including our own, and wanted to delve into a different project.”
