Not THAT much closer. It is a 5 hour drive for me to get to ProgDay. 3.5-4 for ProgStock and having to deal with NE Corridor traffic. Also has the added benefit in that it is likely a more family...
As someone who does it every year, it is a great festival. While Glenn thought about hanging it up after a couple of subpar years a few years ago, it has since done very well again, selling out every...
Well, good luck to you guys, but I won't be following. One of the benefits for me with Gettysburg is that it was close, so I didn't need a hotel and I could bring my wife. Downside is that I needed...
Pain Of Salvation, Haken and Symphony X
Admittedly, I have a tough time staying awake for the first few bands. Nothing to do with them. It is something about the lights going down that tells my body to go to sleep. Maybe I don't get...
To be honest, there has been a lot going on financially, so I wasn't even thinking about going this year. Probably should of to see Threshold.
The problem I'm always going to have is that due to...
I only know about them because I play video games and buy a lot of bundles. Groupees is actually an interesting place to look for music bundles, particularly Synthwave and Chiptune.
BTW, MBR...
Or hanging out on Groupees, where there is a ton of cheap Synthwave being offered all the time.
I know MBR has appeared in my Bandcamp feed before, but haven't checked them out.
Wow, there is a blast from the past. Remembered seeing them at Powermad years ago. Actually, recently started listening to "Discovery" again, and it holds up pretty well after all of these years.
It is amazing all of these small communities of musicians who create new genres of music, like chiptune or synthwave. I appreciate Bandcamp sharing these things, since it helps with musical...
I've been a fan since As The World. I remember them being one of my early prog discoveries, getting blown away by that album. I remember tracking down a used copy of Suffocating The Bloom, since it...

See, I don't even know that much. The only post rock I hear about is when Godspeed comes to town (and I'm going to miss them later this month.)
I really need to figure out how battema finds these shows. Course, problem is nowadays there are few decent venues in NOVA anymore.
As someone who I followed since the early days (at least I&W), and was a part of my early prog awakening, I have a view on all of this.
I think Kevin Moore was their best songwriter, and...
I might also put "Acquaintance" in that category as well, but it might be a stretch.
I remember running across them before, on Spotify I think. I remember being impress too, tho I didn't pick up their music.
That's not what you said when it came out. ;)
I need to dig it out again. Haven't listened to it in years.
The Raw disc in the 3 disc edition is better for actually listening to the songs, without the narrator talking over the whole thing.
It is a hard call, given that his sound changes a lot from album to album. I think my best recommendation is to start with the first four Devin Townsend Project albums (Ki, Addicted!,...
This.
Steve,
Read the letter Cuneiform sent out last week and I do think that it is unfortunate that it has come to this. I've done business with Wayside/Cuneiform for many years at the various east...
He also has back issues, which keeps him from traveling comfortably, so he doesn't.
Unfortunately, many in the prog metal community have abandoned forums for Facebook, so there isn't as much discussion as there used to be. The ProgPower USA forum is worth going to if just to see...
Ask 10 Rush fans, and you will get 10 different opinions about what Rush albums were "good". For example, my best friend's favorite Rush albums are the ones in the 80s, because that's what he grew...
Personally fell in love with this album and own the rest. This is still probably the best of the three, but there are things I like on all of their albums.
Was really bummed I missed the NEARFest...
Yeah, they seem to play on each other's records.
One name I did forget yesterday is Yvette Young, who plays solo and with her band Covet.

Not sure why. It was a solid Van Halen cover at an event that probably focuses on covers.
If you are judging Soto based on the video above, it isn't exactly a representative example. He's a...
Still kinda bummed that his collaboration with John Sykes went nowhere, but that seems to be on John.
Not really a fan of Bumblefoot, but I like the rest of the lineup.
To be honest, I always liked Morgan better than Wilson in Threshold, so I'm looking forward to the new album, when I couldn't really get all that excited about the new Wilson material.
A greatest hits CD is an odd choice for a collection that already has everything in it.
Pulled the trigger on the set after taking advantage of a $30 off a $60 purchase for using Amex points.

I think Passengers is the best place to start and work backwards from there, then probably work forwards. Unlike many, I like Bryan Josh's voice, so I didn't mind "For All We Shared", which is...
Director Edgar Wright listed "Nonagon Infinity" as one of his 13 favorite albums, which is what got me here.

Indukti comes to mind, in which Duda sings on their first album.
Good timing, given that Hocus Pocus is featured in this weekend's movie release of Baby Driver.
Does Pink Floyd's "Young Lust" not count?
Curious, but what makes it "shitty"? That it is a lossy format? That in itself isn't bad if space is at a premium. I agree with you if you are saying that it is a horrible way to distribute music....
Definitely Wolverine.

People have a strange definition of "bottom of the barrel" I personally love Big Generator and Hold Your Fire. I also have a lot of affection for Journey.

Bruford Levin Upper Extremities was probably the first time I saw him live.

Kyros is the band that was once known as Synaesthesia, which played at RoSFest a couple of years back and was very good.
First, I'll qualify this by saying that I haven't listened to Rachel's CD yet.
On the Internet I see plenty of talented young people who play existing tunes to an outstanding degree. That being...
It is certainly your right to not give money to an organization that you don't believe in. No one should think any less of you for it.
That being said, this is a good excuse for good...
Another :up to bump.
He was giving those away for free when his band performed at RoSFest a few years back.
From the tour promoter's FB:

I did a lot of that as well, particularly with the year end show.

Both bands are worth seeing. They both have played ProgDay and they were great live.

All of this is just confirmation that music criticism just isn't worth my time. Outside of people suggesting music I should check out, I find enjoyment of music is very subjective and opinions of...
Those 3 minutes pretty much sold me on the album.

This came up on Glenn Harveston's (organizer of Progpower) top 50 a couple of years back. The non-metal albums always get my attention and picked this one up. No regrets. It is a very good album.

That's interesting. Definitely the most "different" Giacchino score since The Incredibles (which he seemed to be channeling John Barry.) Also nice to see Marvel change up their film scoring formula.
After watching the first episode, I now know use of the song wasn't all that random: it is the closing theme for the show.

Being a former regular listener of 98 Rock in Baltimore, it was kinda hard not to hear of them, since they got regular play in the late 80s. I'm a fan, tho I think their later output has been a...
Just saw the new promo for the upcoming JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on Cartoon Network. It uses Yes' Roundabout as the soundtrack.
