'I WENT TO HELL AND BACK', the 2022 album from the Brighton-based alt-rock group As It Is (Patty Walters, Ronald Ish, and Alistair Testo), might have come to life over a two year period where each and every member questioned their life choices and wrestled with a world in a constant throng of chaotic uncertainty, but the band's fourth album couldn't sound more excited. The fourteen tracks are powerful, playful and fearlessly chase the unexpected. It's the sound of a band still having fun.
