Prison is an American nu-metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed in 2014. The band's lineup consists of vocalist Johnny Crowder, guitarist David Kislik, drummer Brandon Thrift, and bassist Jonathon Pentz.[1][2]

History

[edit | edit source]

Prison was formed in 2014 by former members of Dark Sermon (Johnny Crowder), Adaliah (Austin Coupe, Tyler Kruckmeyer),[3][4] and ABACABB/In Alcatraz 1962 (Jonathon Pentz).[5] Prison's lyrics are largely centered around mental health, containing themes of recovery, suicide awareness, sexual consent, loss[6] and sobriety,[7] and have been described as a "message of hope and healing".[8]

Prison became more active in 2017 when Crowder announced that his former band, Dark Sermon, would go on hiatus indefinitely.[9] In that year, the band would release their debut EP, N.G.R.I.[5] In 2019, the band released their first full-length album, Still Alive.[10] The album would track on Billboard's Heatseekers and Independent Albums charts for one week each.[11][12]

Touring

[edit | edit source]

In 2017, Prison toured as a supporting act for Suicide Silence's 10-year anniversary tour of The Cleansing, along with Upon a Burning Body, Slaughter to Prevail, and Winds of Plague.[13]

In 2018, Prison toured as a supporting act with Wednesday 13 and Night Club on Combichrist's Everyone Still Hates You tour.[14] They also toured with For the Fallen Dreams.[3]

In 2019, Prison toured alongside Oceano as support for Carnifex.[15] The tour would eventually extend and include Angelmaker as support, with Oceano taking over the as the headliner.[16] Later in the year, Prison, Unearth, and Incite supported Soulfly on their Blood on the Street tour.[17] Prison ended the year supporting Slaughter to Prevail on their North American tour alongside Orthodox.[18]

In 2023, Prison played at HeartSupport Fest, a mission-based music festival focusing on "diversity, acceptance, inclusion, self-love and self-care, and mental health as priority." The festival was hosted by Jake Luhrs, best known for his role as the vocalist of August Burns Red.[19]
