iwrestledabearonce

Iwrestledabearonce (IWABO) emerged from the depths of Shreveport, Louisiana, in the late 2000s, swiftly gaining recognition for their eclectic blend of metalcore, electronic, and experimental music. The group's debut, "It's All Happening," was released in 2009 and marked their arrival with an unorthodox fusion of genres, enveloped in a whirlwind of electronic samples, irregular time signatures, and the versatile vocals of then-frontwoman Krysta Cameron. With songs like "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon" and later, "Karate Nipples," from their follow-up releases, IWABO became synonymous with irreverence and innovation within the heavy music scene.

Through their career, IWABO's lineup has seen changes, most notably with Courtney LaPlante taking over vocal duties starting from the 2013 release, "Late For Nothing." The band continued to evolve musically and thematically, exploring darker and more complex lyrical content and soundscapes, as seen in their 2015 release, "Hail Mary." Notable for their unpredictable compositions and the bewildering yet amusing nature of their music and titles, IWABO carved out a niche that defied the conventional boundaries of metal and hardcore. Despite any lineup changes, their spirit of exploration and defiance remained a constant, solidifying their place as a unique and unforgettable act in the heavy music realm.
