Taking its name from something crazy Gary Busey said during his
short-lived television series, I’m With Busey,
Iwrestledabearonce doesn’t bother fitting into a specific musical
genre. On the surface, the members of this sextet from Shreveport,
Louisiana, are heirs to the spastic, experimental grindcore/death-metal
hybrid that was the Locust. Singer Krysta Cameron lays down the brutal
grind vocals with abandon, and the rest of the members play like
they’re in Napalm Death. However, most of the group’s songs contain a
section where everyone shifts into a melodic, almost R&B-flavored
interlude reminiscent of Gang Gang Dance doing a lounged-out impression
of Yes. A remarkably powerful and fiery live act, Iwrestledabearonce is
bringing its eclectic brand of musical mayhem to town in support of its
debut full-length, It’s All Happening — which sums up the
band’s musical assault nicely.
