"Coming up from Ashes of pop music, Alesana is sure to turn heads and hearts in their direction. With melodic intros and commanding yet peaceful vocals they capture the essence of sound from emo/post hardcore movement happening across NC. This band features guitar riffs that are anything but clich that when put together create a dynamic song full of ever changing moods created by 5 talented musicians from Raleigh, NC. After listening to Alesana you will find yourself singing along to the passionate lyrics that capture common themes shared by all." review done by www.gray-scale.org/infantry on alesanas debut ep "Try This With Your Eyes Closed".
