Sulari's Seizure debuts their new Noise Alternative Album on KMI

Seizure's debut album "The Return of..." is the latest entry of the Noise Alternative subgenre to hit Number 1 on the Radio 1 Hot Albums chart, finally knocking the Queens of Surf's third album "Sugar Fits" out of the top spot, where it had sat for the last 6 weeks. Seizure, a Sulari Quartet who actually recorded their Noise Alternative album in Kaliburg, and released it on KMI tends to adopt a more alternative sound for their entry than fellow genre-mates.

"We use a lot of distortion and feedback and harmonics and everything," said lead singer, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter Roger Capelli. "But I think one thing that separates us is that we are just dudes who play table top RPGs and listen to loud music. But like I want some more melody in my music. I like the noise, I like the dissonance, but I also like that poppy kind of edge." Seizure's music has been described as bending toward emotionally charged hard rock. "Nah, we're still of the alternative variety. If we ever sell out and go Pop&B, you have our permission to shoot us. But we do like singing, rather than yelling. That's a lot more fulfilling to me, to us, and probably to a whole group of music listeners out there too."

Themes that Seizure deal with on their debut album include travel and fun in the sun, frustration and infatuation, dreams, family and sibling rivalry, and alcohol and drug abuse. The record reflects a maturing of the genre along with its initial wave of fans. "I suppose most of the fans of this type of music are about our age," said Capelli. "We grew up with Noise Alternative, and now a whole generation of kids, people who are starting to buy music, they have known only loud music on the radio. I suppose sooner or later, there will be a reaction." For now, Seizure is continuing to aim for blown out speakers and melted brains. "Yeah, we got plenty of that on the record too," said Capelli. "But like I said, we also went for melody too. Our riffs are like these monster riffs, but we do have the whole quiet verse, loud chorus thing going on too."

When asked about the title of the album, Capelli said "Yeah, we never really went anywhere. I think its kind of more like a return to form for music in general. It's kind of a boast for us, but also a comment on the state of music. In this way, we're bringing music a bit back to the center, while bands Codeine and GDMF's were kinda way out there. So its more of a return of a more mainstream Rock than we've seen in the Republic for a while."
