"My hatred of prog rock and it's mushroom munching, Hobbit-loving fans"
I'd love to force this writer, Rory O'Keeffe, to attend Nearfest, just out of spite, with comments like that..That write-up, while intriguing, reeks of the attittude hordes of snobs (and Hipsters) who pine for the return of At the Drive-In.
"The best American Rock Band to come out of the second half of the 1990s" ? well, not really.
They were good and can be applauded for ambition, but there are other bands that at least formed and recorded their earliest music then that I still would take easily over AtDI. How about dredg, for one.

Normally, I tell you about the music, the musicians, and what’s happening out there without telling you that you have to buy a CD, I just give you some information and leave that to you. Well Syracuse music fans, VENREZ is coming out with Sell The Lie on the 28th of February. I know legions of you are huge fans of that 70’s rock sound, which seems to be coming back in force now (thankfully).

Slash has released "You're A Lie" to radio today worldwide. The hard-charging song, marks the first single off the iconic, Grammy-winning rock guitarist and songwriter's forthcoming second studio album "Apocalyptic Love".
"'You're A Lie' is the second song I brought to the band in 2011 during the last tour,” explains Slash. "We worked on it at soundcheck somewhere, I can't remember where. It's gone through some minor changes along the way, mainly the chorus. But for the most part, it's remained true to its original arrangement. I can't wait to play this live."
A three-and-a-half-minute YouTube clip featuring audio samples of"Circus Black", the fourth studio album from Finnish female-fronted symphonic metallers AMBERIAN DAWN, is available below.
"Circus Black" will be released in Finland on February 29 via Spinefarm Records. The band's mainman, keyboardist and guitarist Tuomas Seppäläcomposed all ten songs for the CD and vocalist Heidi Parviainen penned the lyrics.
"Circus Black" features guest appearances by Tuomas Nieminen (ex-ADAMANTRA, THRONE OF CHAOS), Nils Nordling (ex-DREAMTALE,ANIMAL HOUSE), Timo Kotipelto (STRATOVARIUS) and Jens Johansson (STRATOVARIUS, DIO, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN'S RISING FORCE). Nieminen and Nordling share vocal parts in the song "I Share With You This Dream", Kotipelto sings lead on "Cold Kiss" andJohansson plays a keyboard solo on "Crimson Flower".
Commented Tuomas: "'Circus Black' is the most impressive AMBERIAN DAWN album so far. Musically it represents the most sophisticated and most symphonic edge of AMBERIAN DAWN music. There's more diversity on this album than never before. This is the first time we used a real choir and we gathered some really excellent professional opera singers together to be able to achieve the best-sounding choir possible. This choir was conducted by Mikko P. Mustonen from Pathos Music. He also arranged the choir and orchestral parts.
"We managed once again to get some world-class guests on this album. So, the production is our biggest so far and the final polish on this album was given by Teropekka Virtanen (mixing engineer) and Mika Jussila(mastering engineer) at legendary Finnvox Studios in Finland.
"The whole band did excellent job with recordings. It was really awesome, that Kasperi [Heikkinen] recovered from his hand injury just in time (only a couple of weeks before the mixing sessions started) and he was able to play guitar solos on this album. Even in the fall it seemed that I andKimmo [Korhonen] would have to play all guitar parts by ourselves."

Here comes rock again. And this time it isn’t growl-rock a la Dead by April, no it is hairspray-rock at it’s best with a young, long-haired rocker in a leather jacket. I like this, becauce this type of rock is always good, and this is actually really good. Okey, it isn’t my beloved schlager, so I don’t want them to win – but it is nice with something different inbetween the glitter and dance numbers! And deep down I am a rock’n'roll girl with a weakness for long-haired, tight pants dudes with great voices and heavy gituares.
