Sort of new band: Marching Mind

Hey guys. We actually have two albums on here but have never really introduced ourselves. We are a proggy/grungy/ metal band from Vancouver, Canada. We started up in 2008 and just finished our 2nd full length that you can find here:

If you like Rush or Porcupine Tree or stuff like that you might like us...although we don't sound exactly like them ;)

On another note, we will be touring the Western US this summer so if you live in Washington state, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado or Idaho, we will likely be playing somewhere near you. We hope to see some old school Proggers on our travels!

Cheers,
Chris from MM

Oh sorry about that, I kept noticing more appropriate sections like the review section etc after this one.

I think Rush in general. Its kind of hard to deny a Rush influence when Ive listened to them since I was 14 years old. I don't even think of Rush when I'm writing the songs it just comes out that way. Could also be the fact I like to mix acoustic guitars with electric like Snakes and Arrows. But I've always done that really even before I heard S and A. In fact I write all the songs on acoustic and add electric later. Kinda weird I guess.

Yeah it's mostly out of necessity to write on acoustic also for me because I live in an apartment and don't wanna bother the neighbors with my racket. Also it's convenient. But also when you start recording you realize some parts shouldn't be electric at all cuz they sounded better on acoustic already. That's why I always mix the two on recordings.

^haha I have no idea what you're talking about...you son of a stinking Beatle :P
