A first impression of Discovery Zone is all that is needed to become a believer that there are bands that have decided to actually produce something unique and diverse. It is such a relief knowing that there is talent and drive still eminent in Los Angeles, and in bands like Discovery Zone.The band thrives on the ideals of layered songs and quirky sounds, developing an onslaught of sound produced by the talent that protrudes throughout their finger tips and vocal chords. The songs are powerful, and the energy is apparent with layer over layer of intellectually contrived sound. Their songs build, and while their intelligence is mustered throughout the songs, they are not hindered by the fact, and they hold the ability to unleash, and dispense a wall of heavy rock material. They know exactly when and when not to hold back their vicious battering of their strings and synths, knowing the right time to unload their epic rock. You may say they are the Pink Floyd of a new generation, or a darker version of Frank Zappa. Either way a comparison is not necessary to describe the band’s original portrayal of melody.-Artrocker Magazine

It’s rare when musicians so young can assimilate so many sounds – among Discovery Zone’s clear influences are early Pink Floyd, Tool, and the entire Ipecac Recordings catalog – and forge something dynamic and intelligent of their own. This band has done it. The three tracks on the DZ’s Myspace page hint at the band’s range, but you gotta see them live - wildman vocalist Jamie Landau (pictured) is a monster performer, with a Maynard-meets-Patton flexibility and a caged gorilla inside, just waiting to be unleashed.-Prefixmag.com
