The Rise Of Science

Its very hard to come across creative bands these days. Most bands are just mediocre attempts to be different and fail. In comes "The Rise Of Science" from Atlanta Georgia. This alternative progressive rock band packs a bunch. Their self-produced album Casey is one for the books. The 5 piece band self-funded, recorded and produced this album. The outcome...a amazing album. There sound is uncanny from their enlightening lyrics to there articulate musicianship. Bassist Zachary Boswell said to AP magazine "We write in-depth stories that span over characters' lives or moments, then we write a soundtrack to their situation." Keep you eyes open for this band.

Envy On The Coast - Low Country

Long Island based band Envy on the Coast has returned with their second full length album
"Lowcountry". Art work done by Justin Beck (Glassjaw). On 3.22.2010 the band released a full stream of the album on myspace. The band delivers again with metaphoric lyrics and intricate musicianship. Lead singer Ryan Hunter continues to push the boundaries by questioning the beliefs of others. A notable song "Made of stone" is a clear example of this. Overall the album stays on the same level as their previous work but continues to move foward. Lowcountry releases 3.30.10 go get it!
