Iwrestledabearonce Reissued and Remixed

05/11/2010
. Iwrestledabearonce will reissue the It's All Happening CD on June 29, accompanied by the It's All Remixed! bonus CD and DVD featuring a host of remixes and exclusive video.

After wrapping their current European trek, the group will bring their one-of-a-kind, fearless live show to North American audiences this summer, including dates with Otep from June 17-July 16 and a stint on the Warped Tour from July 20-August 15.

The three disc deluxe It's All Happening re-issue package also includes song stems for listeners to create their own remixes. In addition, five lucky fans will find an IWABO "Golden Ticket" inside the CD packaging. This will grant the winner and a guest access to three IWABO shows of their choice, a meet and greet with the band, IWABO merchandise and memorabilia.

The remixes on It's All Remixed! allow fans to delve further into the components of the songs themselves, showing another side. Steven says, "This re-release is equally as important because it lets us share some remixes done by friends as well as tons of video content."

The band's charm lies in their sonic sense of ADD--catapulting "The Cat's Pajamas" and "Pazuzu For The Win" from battle-ready math metal to danceable hip hop doused in jazz for good measure. About that ability to switch genres on the drop of a dime, Krysta comments, "We all have a diverse array of influences such as classical, jazz and music from the '70s, '80s, '90s and now. Our music is everything and anything the listener wants to make out of it�like an abstract painting."

That abstract painting is a blood-spattered smattering of genres, and Krysta still gets personal at the center of this psychotic symphony. "This album is something I needed to get out lyrically," she reveals. "It's a chance to close some open doors that have been waiting to be shut for a very long time now. However, I think we could all agree that this is the start of a growth spurt, artistically and musically."

"I think the name of the album pretty much sums it up," exclaims Steven. "We tried to include as much as possible while writing actual songs. We're not merely throwing random pieces together. The only rule we have is that there are no rules. It's a mix of everything we enjoy musically."

In addition to having zero boundaries, Iwrestledabearonce wield a sense of humor as sharp as their riffs. Their very moniker even came from a Gary Busey quote. "All of our song titles are silly references to inside jokes or movies," Steven says. "We love all sorts of weird movies and music, and obviously we named the band after Gary Busey so we definitely respect his insanity."

Fans can get a taste of the bonus DVD content when the band's "See You In Shell" video premieres at www.warpedtour.com on Monday, May 17. Iwrestledabearonce will also offer limited edition "See You In Shell" video t-shirts at the IWABO webstore (www.iwabostore.com) beginning the same day.
