Quasi-Stellar Radio Source released their debut EP “I” in May. The band is a Cinematic Progressive Rock band with layered songs. The Italians seem to focus on layering songs, transitions, mood and melody. Don’t expect blast beats, growls and crazy speed surpassing 200 BPM. QSRS is an atmospheric […]
North Carolina’s premier prog band released the second part of the “Automata” series recently and like Auotmata 1 took a long time to sink in…..why? Well, for starters the second release was melodic like part one but a lot more experimental! The band incorporated more jazz elements and even some […]

I hope you all take advantage of the preorders at their bandcamp website. Have fun listening and support independent bands!
This man is mind blowing, to say the least. Brett Garsed is in Australian jazz fusion guitarist who continues to wow people with his phenomenal technique and clarity in his playing……initially, that’s what impressed me. He isn’t using much gain, and doesn’t miss a note or mutes […]
Divinex is the website’s June featured Band of the month! I have loved this band since they graced me with their presence opening up for CHON at the now defunct Waiting Room in Buffalo. If you’re on a bill with CHON, it’s pretty damn impressive. The Rochester instrumental trio […]
