Third Edge

Third Edge hailing with their brilliant debut album "T.I.M.E.".


40 years after the release of Rush’s epic album 2112, the rock band Third Edge releases the album "T.I.M.E." that continues the story. In the year 2132 on a distant refugee planet governed by totalitarian priests, a once-orphaned boy discovers his biological father was murdered by the very priests who raised him. The execution prevented a potential revolution after discovering the free-thinking power of earth music, and the possibility of revealing a galactic-wide conspiracy over the millennia to overtake all life-producing planets. The young man then seeks revenge on the priests. He also discovers that his father, prior to his death, hid the secret to their escape from bondage in a song. This ‘song of Anonymous’ entitled ‘T.I.M.E.’ (Tomorrow Is Man’s Escape) contained the prophetic melody used by his son to bring as many as would listen to the final conclusion of destroying the Federation, return the rising generation of their people back to their homeland Earth, and reuniting with the elder race in a restored paradisiacal state.

Huis

Huis ("home doors" in french, and "house" in dutch) is a five member musical project from Québec officially formed by Pascal Lapierre and Michel Joncas at the end of 2009, after an oustanding and inspiring trip in the Netherlands. At that time, they decided to put on tape some ideas they had in mind since a long time. Over time, three other talented musicians, William Régnier, Sylvain Descôteaux and Michel St-Père (from Mystery), joined the band, each one bringing a special touch to Huis’ sound.
The music is a well crafted progressive rock with a symphonic touch and the use of Hammond, Moog and Mellotron takes us back to the old prog rock sound of the 70's. The guitar playing of St-Pere brings a big influence of the Neo-Prog band Mystery and many others Neo-Prog bands that put the melody and vocals upfront with strong compositions skills.

 In 2014, the band released his first album, "Despite Guardian Angels".

Soon after the group began to work on the second album, "Neither In Heaven", released in April 2016.

Southern Empire

Southern Empire is Australia's newest, most exciting progressive rock band.


Formed by keyboardist Sean Timms after the dis-banding of Unitopia, Southern Empire will astound the listener with intricate yet catchy songs, amazing musicianship and a harder, more edgy sound perfectly suited to today's generation.

Their s/t debut album was released February 22nd 2016.

After a 17 year involvement with Unitopia ended in 2013, Sean Timms had an album's worth of songs written, but no band to play and record them. Sean approached vocalist Danny Lopresto about forming a band to play the material and ultimately record an album and tour. The two had known each other for many years and had worked together in the studio, but never as a song writing partnership or in the live arena. Danny was extremely excited at the prospect and the two set about adding his powerfully emotional vocals to the song demos. They then auditioned for a guitarist, bass player and drummer to complete the line-up Enter Cam Blokland, Jez Martin & Brody Green. Soon after, the band started rehearsing the material which due to the creative input of all of the members quickly took on a new lease of life.
In April 2015, the group recorded the bed tracks live at internationally renowned recording studio Chapel Lane. Over the next few months overdubs were recorded at Sean's studio, Timms Tunes and the album mixed by Gabs Agostino at Chapel Lane.
Adding their talents to the line-up are Tim Irrgang, percussionist with Unitopia and UPF, internationally renowned composer and multi-instrumentalist Adam Page on Saxophone and flute and Samurai of Prog frontman Steve Unruh on Violin and flute.
Nearly every part of the recording process was filmed and the video clips will be available as a bonus disk with the album.

Bent Knee

Bent Knee is a genre-defying art-rock collective from Boston, MA. Fiercely innovative, the band bridges the gap between the experimental and the familiar, merging texture and style into music that’s moving, addictive, and unapologetically original. Drawing from an expansive sonic palette edged by the touchstones of heavy psych, baroque pop, and avant-jazz, the ensemble crafts compositions where melodies swell and collapse, only to coalesce unexpectedly into anthemic crescendo.
