After devastating audiences on national tours with Papa Roach, Kittie, Walls of Jericho, In This Moment and the Warped Tour, Arizona’s Eyes Set To Kill have put the finishing touches on their debut full-length, “Reach”, which lands in stores on February 19th, 2008 through BreakSilence Records.
“All of the hard work we’ve put into the band over the last couple years is finally starting to pay off,” says frontman Brandon Anderson. “Now it’s given us a chance to work that much harder to take things to the next level.”
Formed in 2004 by sisters Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez, Eyes Set to Kill have moved forward with huge strides quickly and not so quietly over the past three and a half years. Joining Alexia (vocals, lead guitar, piano) and Anissa (bass) and rounding out the five-piece are screamer and synth keyboardist Brandon Anderson, second guitarist Greg Kerwin and drummer Caleb Clifton. Eyes Set to Kill have sold more than 11,000 copies of their EP When Silence is Broken The Night Is Torn and DVD, A Day With Eyes Set to Kill combined, with the former reaching #2 and the latter #1 on the popular online retailer smartpunk.com and limited retail availability.
Rife with conflict and juxtaposing that conflict with promise, Reach is not a teenage angst-ridden twenty first century response to the Seattle scene of the nineties. And it’s more than a teenage coming of age story. Reach is the world’s welcome to a young band with a fresh voice. “The album is symbolic of what we want to achieve with our music. Most of the songs are about overcoming the obstacles that everyone faces in life. We hope that our music reaches out to the listener and can help them overcome some of the same issues that we’ve had to deal with in our lives,” Alexia notes, pointing to the more promising themes in the music. “We want to let people know that they can rise above the problems they face in their life; if our music can be that catalyst in someone’s life then that’s amazing.”
As can be expected, Reach exhibits a more mature Eyes Set to Kill – more mature in its songwriting and its lyrics. As the primary lyricist, Alexia tackles themes such as frustration and anxiety, relationships, isolation and correcting one’s past. Alexia shows a woman well beyond her young years throughout Reach; she shows a songwriter that writes differently than the rest, pushing boundaries lyrically when possible. “Only Holding On,” for example, is a battle between Alexia’s outer self and her conscience shown through the song’s verses, while the chorus is a third voice, her band, trying to ground her once again in the real reasons she performs music. “Young Blood Spills Tonight,” deals with the pain of divorce told from the perspectives of Alexia and her mother.
