Feedforward

I'll check 'm out together with about 10 other bands waiting for me today. Fun part: Eindhoven is about 5 minutes drive from here, 20 minutes to Tilburg. Now why do I need to get onto a Canadian owned web site to hear about these guys and lady?


Needs some more listening (first track now), but they have an album out. Ergo, if this is proggy enough, the Prog Metal  and Heavy Prog teams will once again hear from me.

Bio:
The Dutch band FeedForward has been around for 5 years now, and found its own unique style. This style can best be defined as a mix between progressive rock and melodic metal. However, no classical voice parts, no bombastic choirs. Instead, recognizable vocals and subdued harmonies. Instrumentally, the melodic base is broadened by influences from progressive metal and symphonic rock. In spite of the high level of musicianship and sometimes complex song arrangements, the songs are accessible for a large audience. Key roll in this is female vocalist Bianca. With her clear voice she speaks to the attention of a lot of people, also those which are not familiar with the genre.

Having released 3 demo's, FeedForward has managed to build up a considerable fanbase in the south of the Netherlands. This shows by the concerts, with the number of visitors steadily increasing every time. FeedForward played many gigs in the past years, with especially worth mentioning gigs in large venues like 013, the Effenaar, the Bosuil (support for Enchant), Todo (support for the gathering), the Dynamo and at festivals like Paaspop Den Hout, Kempenerpop, All American Day and Cult & Tumult.

FeedForward recently released (december 2006) a full length CD containing 10 songs, titled “Barefoot & Naked”. This CD shows the many sides of FeedFoward’s music. “Barefoot & Naked” contains catchy rock songs, progressive pieces, pounding metal, but also epic songs and even a piano ballad.

The on-stage performance full of energy and intensity accentuates the power of the songs. The authenticity makes them credible..............A band appreciated for their music!

Moved!

gosh, this thread has given me such a warm glow inside....

Good thing that I saw this thread... We HPers will be delighted to assess the band. Listening to some material immediately.

Well, they're not exactly my cup of tea, but I did find those songs quite enjoyable in their own way. However, I think they might be more suitable for addition in Prog-Metal than in Heavy Prog. I'll submit them to David anyway, and see what he thinks.

I posted the link in our HP team thread, but I think David will express the same opinion as I have. No harm in getting a second team's opinion, though.

Feedforward have been cleared for addition Jared.

Going to bump this one one more time. I went to a live performance of Dutch bands Carthago, Feedforward and Sun Caged yesterday (performance review will be published in the forums by the end of this week). What needs mention thoug is that:

Feedforward is working on a distribution deal for Europe and America, which they expect will result in a re-release of Barefoot & Naked later this year.
