GORILLAPOCALYPSE features singer-songwriter IZ.M.B joining forces with beat producer Grizz La Flare and lyricist Gary “GB” Bernard to create a vibey cocktail of sound that’s perfect for both the dance floor and lounging by the pool. This tall glass of chilled grooves makes the most of La Flare’s catchy beats by pairing them with Bernard’s sophisticated lyrics, beautifully arranged and delivered by IZ.M.B. The result is a sound equal parts passion, irony and fun.
Their first EP, Blow Your Mind, which has received airplay on over 100 radio stations across North America, sets a high standard for what is to come. From its opening track and lead single “Tornado” to its happy ending “Love Lives On,” Blow Your Mind delivers seven exciting songs about love, relationships, and independence, or as Sergio Leone might have called it – Love: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. IZ.M.B remarks: “This release is different from my other offerings, but that’s what I love about it. I always like to collaborate, but this is the first time since my high school band that it’s been a total team effort. I absolutely loved working with Grizz, GB, Justin, and Miles.” GB explains that “IZ.M.B and Grizz had never worked together previously, but they were already good friends, so when the Blue Collar thing developed, we all said, Okay. We want this to be a family, let’s do something together.” Blow Your Mind is mostly about love. While love can be messy, it’s still the opposite of isolation. It’s about coming together, even if it doesn’t work out in the end. IZ.M.B studies music production and sound engineering at a Philadelphia university. In addition to vocals, IZ.M.B plays guitar, bass, mandolin & piano.
