Originals and rock classics with a touch of jam band.
Pulling from the rock canon, they can, and do play songs from all genres (classic rock, Indie, funk, soul, jam band,), plus their own original music. Tight arrangements with jams are Radio Prisons signature. They can keep it short and sweet and pay homage to the three-minute song, or they can take a song and stretch it. Never self-indulgent, all that matters are that the band and audience are enjoying themselves.
