Manatarms

From the South American shores of Chile emerges MANATARMS carrying the flag of a very particular form of Alternative Rock, were the energy of motion and rhythm itself (due to their Latin inheritance) is completely entwined with the obscurity of dense and soulful moods.
MANATARMS have already established themselves as one of the best rock acts in their home land with major shows alongside TESTAMENT and OPETH, accomplishing a national tour across Chile, coverage in the most relevant radio stations of Argentina and Chile, and special TV appearances.

Crossbones

1)
Since its foundation in autumn 2004, the name of this young Hardrockcombo has spread irresistibly in the area around their hometown Wuppertal and beyond. Their music can be described as Nitrock (explosive-progressive Hardrock). Influenced by bands as King Crimson, Deep Purple and Dream Theater, this style distincts itself by its eccentric, energetic character.

Pulsar

The legendary French space-rock group. On their debut "Pollen" the media had promoted them as the French Pink Floyd, though they were a lot more original than that would suggest, with much use of flute and electronics. They had a uniquely French sound. PULSAR’s third album, issued in 1977, "Halloween" (a conceptual "horror-rock" symphonic opus) is generally considered as one of the ten best symphonic albums in the world. A masterpiece of refinement. Definitely indispensable for all progressive rock fans!

Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson's flute may be the defining factor in Jethro Tull's music, but it's only one element in a band that's been around since the late 60s. Originally a blues-based rock band with a few dollops of British folk in their sound, they evolved into one of the most popular progressive rock bands of the 70s. Jethro Tull formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, England in 1967. Their music is marked by the quirky vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson and by unusual and often complex song construction.

Darth Vegas is lead by Michael Lira, formally from Vicious Hairy Mary.. Thus far the band has only released one official studio album but still tour locally with a 7-piece-band. Many of the members are currently working on The Tango Saloon on Mike Patton's label.

Fair To Midland

Fair to Midland are a progressive rock band formed in Sulphur Springs, Texas in 1998. Anyone who thinks the phrase “it’s all been done before” carries real weight clearly has yet to encounter Fair to Midland. Dark, heavy, moving, cryptic, progressive art rock collides with flourishes of old-school country, Americana and Delta Blues in their sound. These Lonestar boys genre-defying and boundary obliterating ocean of sound righteously upends the old phrase “fair to middling” from which their Texas-ified moniker was drawn.
