Alcatraz

The Mr. T Experience

Hyper-literate pop punk meeting the nervous energy of 80s new wave. Sharp, organ-flecked arrangements for the chronically overthinking romantic.

1999 · Lookout! Records

A nervous, hyper-articulate blend of romantic frustration and intellectual wit.

Moments Worth Listening For

The frantic, interlocking bass and drum interplay on the opening track that signals a tighter, more technical band.

The unexpected warmth of the organ swell during the bridge of Re-Activate Your Heart.

The sudden shift to a sparse, acoustic-driven vulnerability on the closing track We'll Get By.
