Eclectic, multi-genre sound as “cinematic rock,” Wronski and bandmates create intricate tracks that mesh and intertwine to form individual parts of a greater story - different scenes for their celluloid masterpiece. For their debut full-length, Genesis Underground, Eye Alaska continues the grandiose-yet-meticulous delivery they’ve adopted as their signature sound.

Beginning with their EP Yellow & Elephant, Eye Alaska established themselves as musical experimentalists who weren’t content with playing it safe. By adding elements from a variety of influences, from film scores to world music, and with Wronski’s blockbuster vocals, there was no sure category to peg the band in.

With Fearless Records’ faith in the ethos of the band, Eye Alaska stretches even further with Genesis Underground. Orchestrated by renowned producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More, Sheryl Crow) and co-produced by Brandon Wronski at the legendary Sound City and Studio Deluxe in LA, the recording experience was that of another caliber. Initially, the recording was done primarily by Wronski, tracking parts individually and layering over; this time, Wallace opted to have the band track together to capture the vibe of their live show. Guitarist Cameron Trowbridge said the time spent with Wallace in the studio was revelatory on both sides of the spectrum.

Lead off single “Walk Like a Gentleman” is a soundtrack to summer with cinematic components and a hip hop beat that shows just a few dimensions of the band’s repertoire - expect nuggets of rock, new age, pop, country, hip-hop, world, their brain-child cinematic-rock, and more facets that will appeal to the quick-change music consumers of today.

The band has played three consecutive years at Bamboozle Festival, toured the U.S. on the PacTour with Saosin, Innerpartysystem and P.O.S., and had their music placed on Real World DC. As if their ever-changing sound wasn’t enough to keep the pot stirring, the band takes time to see the bigger picture with charity work selling limited-edition Eye Alaska backpacks with all proceeds going to sponsoring children in Africa. It’s just another statement in the way Eye Alaska have branded themselves as the band who live without borders.

Good To Go
Eye Alaska Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm good to go
I'm good to go

I drove a long way to see ya
You never opened the door
You said I'm working without ya
You left me out in the cold

Now I'm living life in the spotlight
These shoes were made for the floor

When you live in the moment
Your life is unfolding
And you don't know what else to do

I'm good to go
(I'm ready, now I'm golden)
I'm good to go
(Get caught up in the moment)
But, but I don't know much
And if this was the gold rush
I would be caught up in the moment

I tried my best to forget you
But you're coming, running, begging me
You call me baby, baby, baby?
Oh, I want nothing to do with you

Now I'm living life in the spotlight
These shoes were made for the floor

When you live in the moment
Your life is unfolding
And you don't know what else to do

I'm good to go
(I'm ready, now I'm golden)
I'm good to go
(Get caught up in the moment)
But, but I don't know much
And if this was the gold rush
I would be caught up in the moment

(Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright)

I drove a long way to see ya
You left me out in the cold
I'm not worried about it, yeah

I'm good to go
(I'm ready, now I'm golden)
I'm good to go
(Get caught up in the moment)
But, but I don't know much
And if this was the gold rush
I would be caught up in the moment (x2)

You played me out, oh
(You really played me out)
You played me out, oh
(I guess I gotta know better next time)

You played me out, oh
(You really had me golden though)
