This Alibi

Combining an admiration for both the intricate and the expansive, Kansas City, Missouri's This Alibi represents a perfect musical marriage of wide-skied atmospherics and dirt-in-your-teeth rock realism. Formed by friends and musical blood brothers Bob, Justin, and Robb; This Alibi plays complex and exploratory rock music characterized by stringent guitar lines, an explosively precise rhythm section and a grandiose vision.

Prior to the band's inception, Justin and Robb played in an early projects, but had yet to feel like their project was complete. Robb explains that, upon finding Bob, ?He helped strengthen the band since all three of us were going in the same direction. With him, our three-piece sounds like five; we are able to bring out our varied influences and experiment with sounds most haven't considered.?

After almost a year of refining their sound, This Alibi has fully arrived with the upcoming release of their self-titled EP, a five-track instrumental rush of propulsive rhythms and spacey post-hardcore experiments. This Alibi exhibits their diverse tastes and talents on the recording, as shining, Sigur Ros inspired daydreams dissolve into visceral climaxes and pummeling, Mars Volta style noise.

?It's been a whirlwind adventure, but it's also felt natural; for the most part, our coming together and standing has come fairly easily and quickly. Now all that's left is to get our name out there and get some recognition.? With more material on the way, a tour in the works and a drive that can't be extinguished, This Alibi will no doubt make its presence known throughout 2006.

This Alibi's music was featured in the film score for the short film ?The Grass Grows Green?, directed by Jesus Beltran and shown at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
