alexander the great is from bloomington, IN; a small town known worldwide for it's rich musical history, and relevant musical present. this can be an intimidating factor for young songwriters trying to find their place in such a well documented musical hotbed. however, alexander the great takes it in stride. rather than spending their early years cutting their teeth in pop-punk cover bands, playing keggers and garage parties, they decided to go ahead and write some very good songs and do some touring.
the result is alexander the great's debut ep circumnavigation. five tracks of smart, well-crafted indie rock complete with catchy, melodic hooks and intense dynamic arrangements lay a nice foundation for alexander the great to build on. --Crossroads of America Records
