As we will be focusing our efforts entirely on recording an album in the next few months, we will also need some kickass artwork for the cds. Thats where our crazy, creative, and enormously talented friends/fans come in! Please send us any Imbala artwork that you have so we can make our first self-produced full-length album one to remember. E-mail them to imbalamusic@gmail.com.
What the &%$ is Imbala??
Hailing from the rural expanses of Central Jersey, IMBALA is a group that refuses to adhere to conventional wisdom. In the dank dungeons of their rehearsal stronghold and without a vocalist, they forged a sound that fused the stylings of jam, funk, and hardcore in a versatile concoction of brutal breakdowns, improvised jams, psychedelic noise, and funky toe-tappin’. To this hellish instrumental hybrid they bestowed the name “Junkcore” (jam-funk-hardcore) and thus a unique and utterly engaging sound was born. IMBALA looks to a wide-array of artists like the RX Bandits, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Les Claypool, Umphrey’s McGee, Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, Grüvis Malt, and Mr. Bungle for inspiration.
Formed in late 2005, they have quickly made a name for themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the Tri-State area, capturing crowds with their frenzied live sets, sometimes playing for up to an hour non-stop. IMBALA pride themselves in being able to elicit the gamut of emotions from their audiences: angry catharsis in a breakdown, joyful dancing in a funky jam, or pensive passion in a melodic passage. They have brought this roller-coaster show to many venues in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Baltimore, including the Stone Pony, the Troc Balcony, the 8x10, and Doc Watson’s Pub where they were featured artists on 93.3 WMMR’s Local Shots Live. IMBALA has also been featured on Comcast OnDemand’s Battle of the Bands. They have played with bands such as Consider the Source, Enstride, Infinien, Stillicide, Ebu GoGo, Jerseyband, and The Defog, among many, many others. In the works for the band are an EP due in the spring, a full-length album due by the end of this year and an East Coast tour this summer.
Above all, IMBALA is intent on creating creative creations…So keep you Eyes open, your Ears tuned, and your Minds clear, yet oddly cloudy....
Just Listen to This Young Man Discuss How Imbala Changed His Life!....
"Before the Imbala show I could not speak, read, or write in Engrish...
After the show I had my face rocked off. Minutes later I learned the entire English language. Now look at me. I am a Success. Revolutionary Rock changed my life!
