{"product_id":"stand-up-and-scream-1","title":"Stand Up and Scream","description":"Personnel: Ben Bruce (vocals, guitar).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Joey Sturgis.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: The Foundation Recording Studio.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Phill Mamula.\u003cbr\u003eThe flurry of post-hardcore activity in the `00s is a formidable area to keep tabs on, even for hardened fans of heavy music; new hybrids continue to redefine the genre making for ever more unlikely, previously inconceivable, combinations. Enter U.K.-based unit Asking Alexandria, who blend screamo's angst-ridden intensity with the epic synthscapes and club-styled beats of trance-electronica. The band's debut, STAND UP AND SCREAM, true to its title, offers a lot of screaming (of the now standard melodic, emo-influenced variety), contrasted with growling (of the now standard metalcore variety), garnished with the occasional four-on-the-floor techno beat. And as seemingly grab-bag as that sounds, Asking Alexandra somehow make it all work, transitioning effortlessly from club stomp to blast beats, distorted guitar riffs to glossy synth arpeggios--a sure fire formula to help them stand apart from their increasingly similar-sounding compatriots.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342366605599,"sku":"894587002225","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/7b2905d0decb1965224eb50c3cbafbf9_5b7db679-6d76-4c44-85c9-42fd61e3afc9.jpg?v=1777773236","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/stand-up-and-scream-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
