Yeah, I'm planning on updating some of the bios as well.
Just beefed up Darkher's bio today to reflect her new album that came out last year; however, I'm probably gonna edit it again at some point to remove some of the more... well, let's say "biased" portions of the Bandcamp descriptions

I think there are a few bios that need serious revising more, The Contortionist comes to mind and I've seen a couple others. I'll look into it as soon as I can.

For the record, I still have plans to revise the Mamaleek biography once I've take care of matters over at PSIKE.

Please update The Aaron Clift Experiment's photo and bio (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=8311).
The bio should read as follows (from the band website):
The Aaron Clift Experiment is a dynamic progressive rock band based in Austin, Texas. The band’s multi-faceted sound blends influences from classic rock (Rush, Pink Floyd, King Crimson), modern rock (Porcupine Tree, Opeth), jazz, and classical – all anchored by a dedication to high-quality songwriting and musicianship. Progradar has described the group as “one of the most impressive progressive acts currently on the scene.” Formed in 2012 as the solo project of Aaron Clift, the band has since blossomed into a powerful live group enriched by the extensive musical background of its members. The soaring vocals of classically-trained singer and keyboardist, Aaron Clift, are grounded by the powerhouse guitar of Anthony Basini and rhythm section of Clif Warren (bass) and Pablo Ranlett-López (drums). In the last few years, the band has carved out a significant worldwide following. The Aaron Clift Experiment’s last album, 2018’s “If All Goes Wrong,” was a critically-acclaimed progressive rock achievement, landing on several year-end best album lists. In 2017, the band had a star-making performance at RosFest, one of the largest progressive rock festivals in the world, and followed it up with an impressive outing at 2018 at Chicago’s Progtoberfest, and in 2019 with a hometown concert that was recorded for the band’s second live EP, “Live at One-2-One Bar.” The Aaron Clift Experiment continues to move its dynamic sound forward in its latest release, “The Age of Misinformation” – a conceptual work about the destructive power of lies and the search for truth in the face of overwhelming odds. Band founder, Aaron Clift, explains: “During the COVID lockdown of 2020 – 2021, my friends, colleagues, and country went through an incredibly challenging time, and I knew that I had to say something about it. ‘The Age of Misinformation’ is The Aaron Clift Experiment’s document of that era.” In addition to its lyrical ambition and emotional resonance, the album marks a high point for the band’s creativity – featuring everything from explosive, hard rocking songs, to gorgeous ballads, to multi-layered vocal writing that would make Queen blush! Two songs explore symphonic music with a guest string quartet, and the album’s lead single, “Bet on Zero,” is an epic big band jazz/blues fusion collaboration with 7-piece Austin horn ensemble, Big Wy’s Brass Band. Aaron notes: “For ‘The Age of Misinformation,’ we wanted to do more of everything: record music that was more intricate, more melodic, and more diverse than anything we had done before. I’m really happy with how we pulled it off, but above all, I love how the album explores a concept that reflects the events of our current world. There are songs all about frustration with the crazy state of politics, but there’s also a renewed sense of optimism in other songs – knowing that there’s always a light at the end of the cave.” |

^ You can add it by yourself to Unlearn page, as "Mad Tiger (OST, with Joy Wants Eternity)".
The album page on Discogs is here. As an artist, you probably have more info (first of all musicians involved and their instruments).

Hi,
Would like to add one addition to this bio, if relevant: In 2015, Unlearn co-composed the score for the movie Mad Tigerwith Joy Wants Eternity, a documentary about Japanese punk band Peelander-Z. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8505841/ I'm not sure if you can add this to Unlearn's discography, but there is a link here as well: https://open.spotify.com/album/7G6bidyRWmqmARP73bg6Rg?si=kjv0wBbiQSqvE-oSWb1FNA Thanks!

Please update The Aaron Clift Experiment's photo and bio (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=8311).
The correct photo is posted below (URL is: https://www.aaronclift.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/ACE-Promo-2022-LR-Band-001.jpg). The bio should read as follows (from the band website):

In the last few years, the band has carved out a significant worldwide following. Its last two albums, 2012's "Lonely Hills," and 2015's "Outer Light, Inner Darkness," were critically-acclaimed progressive rock achievements, landing on several year-end best album lists. In 2016, the band was nominated for a Limelight Award by Prog Magazine. In 2017, the band had a star-making performance at RosFest, one of the largest progressive rock festivals in the world. The Aaron Clift Experiment continues to move its dynamic sound forward in its 2018 release, "If All Goes Wrong." The album contains the band's most diverse and electrifying music to date - songs full of enthralling melodies, masterful epics, and addictive pop hooks.  |

Here is an updated Karmamoi biography provided by founder Daniele Giovannoni, copied here 'as-is', directly from the document, though it will need some text formatting if it is agreed by the current biography writer TenYearsAfter (aka Erik Neuteboom) that his work can be modified.
Inspired by old and new progressive rock, drummer and composer Daniele Giovannoni created Karmamoi in 2008, giving life to a musical project that could express his concept of music. The band performed in many shows in Italy and Europe between 2008 and 2011, including the Jimi Festival in France and the Eurosonic Showcase Festival in the Netherlands. At the end of 2011, the band released its first album, simply called Karmamoi (Crisalide Music), which received phenomenal reviews around the world. In 2012 the band released an acoustic EP called “Entre Chien et Loup”. In late 2013 “Odd Trip”, the second album of the band, came out and in 2014, Karmamoi performed in many shows in Europe promoting the album. They also performed at Borderline in London alongside Curved Air, and at Zanzibar in Liverpool alongside Lifesigns. Their third album “Silence Between Sounds” came out in October 2016, having taken over two years to release due to changes in band line-up. Produced by the esteemed Mark Tucker (Jethro Tull), Silence Between Sounds was critically acclaimed around the world, with some reviewers calling it one of the best progressive rock albums of 2016. Progsphere Magazine included Karmamoi in their list “One of 20 Best Italian Progressive Rock Bands”. In February 2017, Classic Rock Society Mag included “Plato’s Cave”, a song from Silence Between Sounds, in their progressive rock compilation “New Species 28”. The album also reached the second ranking with both Progwereld and Progstreaming. In 2017 the band performed in Italy, the UK, and the Netherlands, and at Winter’s End Festival in the UK in April 2018. In Autumn 2018, Karmamoi released their fourth studio album, “The Day is Done”, a concept album dedicated to the Grenfell Tower disaster which happened in London in 2017, containing eight brand new songs recorded in May 2018 at The Arc Abbey Studio (UK) by Mark Tucker. The band has involved several special guests with this album, including Colin Edwin, bassist (Porcupine Tree) and Geoff Leigh, flautist and saxophonist (Steven Wilson, Ex-Wise Heads). Sara Rinaldi was also involved as vocalist. “The Day Is Done” received terrific reviews and it was been acclaimed by progressive rock fans, and many reviewers calling it one of the best progressive rock albums of 2018. The band performed all over the Europe, and for the first time, Karmamoi performed in the USA at “Rosfest” in May 2019. They have also been playing at “Dan Fest 8″ (UK), ”Progressivamente Festival” and “Black Water Festival (Italy)”. The Fifth studio album “ROOM 101” will be released on May 28th 2021. Composed between October 2019 and July 2020, recorded between Rome and London (August/October 2020) and produced by Daniele Giovannoni, the album is inspired by the novel of George Orwell, 1984. Once again, Karmamoi have involved some great guests such as the pianist Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson, Miles Davies) and the violinist Steve Unruh (United Progressive Fraternity).
Karmamoi are: Daniele Giovannoni (Drums, Keyboards and BV) Allesandro Massari (Guitars) Alessandro Cefalì (Bass) The existing biography is pretty thorough as it is, so it might be a case of just merging some parts of Daniele's new bio into the existing one rather than replacing it completely.

^ update done. Bio and website are already visible. The picture takes time because of some technicalities related to a cache, but I have uploaded it. I see that your albums miss some information like the lineup and the instrumentation. You can update them on your own or just post here and I can do it for you

Hi, the Post/Math team (I'm one of them) can change the bio and add the pic. Post it here.
Adding reviews is easy: just go to the page of the album that you want to review. On the bottom of the page there's the form. Write and submit. That's all. The only requirement is that you login with your PA account. If you mean adding reviews published on other sites, that's not possible. |
