Hello, I'd like to add/amend some info to the artist Unlearn (I am the artist), as the site is slightly incorrect:
http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5654 Website: www.unlearnmusic.com Biography: Unlearn is the alias of James Key, ambient electronic musician, producer, and composer. Musical style consists of melancholic melodies and ambient sounds combined with guitars, electronic experimentation, and post-rock architecture. Occasionally performing with a live band under the same name, past members have included Emory Liu of Joy Wants Eternity and Greg Ferguson of Juno. Originating in Seattle, the artist now resides in San Francisco, California. Links: (of associated acts) http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=3992 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Wants_Eternity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_(band) please let me know how to add photos and and album reviews as well ~ Thanks! |

^ You can try to rewrite the bio, but I can't guarantee that the genre team will agree with the change.
If you write only updates highly likely they will be accepted. In case of rewritten bio it's not so obvious.

Could I just rewrite the entire bio as long as it's well-written and meets their approval? I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to write anyway

^ You may try, Brendan. Current bio has its not-so-easy-to-follow style, in my opinion makes sense to add the continuation without changing the original text.
So it will look like: Formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England in 1985 : : Anyone into provocative sounds that blow the rock mold to smithereens is welcome to listen. : : : Jeff Wagner, USA : : : <The story of Radiohead after "Hail to the Thief"> Please keep in mind that to make updates we need to ask the genre team approval. Changes will not be made without their blessing.

I'd be happy to send you guys an updated Radiohead bio if you'd like. I noticed that it only goes up to Hail to the Thief, and they've released several more albums since then

Brady, PA users, unless they are Special Collaborators or Admins, don't have permissions to edit artists' pages. Even if they are artists themselves. Giving permissions is out of our team control. So you can't make changes on your page directly. Please post here actual info (weblink and bio), then I'll make changes on your page. That's all we can offer. |

Hi, I appreciate being featured as an artist on this site but I really need my page changed because the information and links are very outdated. Can I directly edit the page about myself? Just so it's said, this isn't the first time I've inquired about getting my info / links updated. My artist page is here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=8766
I'd be willing to change the info myself if you'd let me. Hoping to hear from someone about this issue, thanks! -Brady

The two-line bio for the above artist could be replaced by something derived from these two links: As a starting point you could write: STELLAR CIRCUITS is a Progressive Metal band based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which was formed as a four-piece consisting of Ben BEDDICK (vocals), Andrew MERICLE (guitar), Jesse OLSEN (bass) and Tyler MENON (drums) in 2015 with the idea of creating progressively-minded music that resonates with the masses. The band's name is derived from a theory proposed in the 1970s called 'the eight-circuit model of consciousness', which attempts to understand the processes of the mind by breaking consciousness down into eight periods (or circuits) and twenty-four stages of neurological evolution. The band's influences hail from a variety of music genres, but they are particularly inspired by bands such as A PEREFCT CIRCLE, DEFTONES, ANIMALS AS LEADERS and RUSH. Their debut self-titled 5-track EP was released towards the end of 2015, and they followed it up with a full album called 'Ways We Haunt' in November 2018. According to vocalist Ben Beddick, the concept behind this record developed from an idea he got from an American anthology crime drama TV series called 'True Detective', which suggested to him that our minds are like a house with many rooms. The band has performed live extensively to promote its music, and in June 2019 a second guitarist, Jared STAMEY, was added to the line-up, with him making his stage debut at 'The Ramkat' live music venue and bar in their hometown of Winston-Salem, NC on 21st December 2019. Edit: EP and Single added to main band page, just make sure I've done it correctly though!

^ Yes, want it or not, PM is a popular genre now and the team is always busy. That's why I don't even notify them about these recent changes, it's obvious that you make better bios than they had.

It seems that quite a few bands have been added by the PM team with just a one or two-line bio (I guess they are the busiest team on here by quite some margin though, so probably don't have much time for writing a full bio). I keep finding them when rounding up Jose's bandcamp albums. Here's another one that I'll have a closer look at tomorrow: Founded in Winston-Salem, USA in 2015 STELLAR CIRCUITS is a Progressive Metal band from North Carolina, US, close to PORTAL, KINGCROW, KARNIVOOL and TOOL. They only have one album out, so there won't be much more to add I wouldn't think, but I'll try and find something about them to flesh it out a bit. Edit: ^ I lied! They have a debut EP from 2015 and a single released just before their full album came out in 2018, which both need adding here as well as a better bio. Edited by yam yam - January 20 2021 at 19:15 |

^ Thanks, David. I don't care about modern heavy industry at all, but if a better bio will attract new fans to the band, then our efforts are not in vain.

The only note. "When they play live, all three band members wear elegant yet sinister Art Deco-style masks with features that represent each of their individual personalities". I've deleted the word "elegant" and left "... wear sinister Art Deco-style masks...", because what's elegant for one person may be ugly and ridiculous for others. At least I don't find masks on videos from the band's site elegant. If you don't agree I'll restore the elegance.

All we have for a bio is: Founded in New York City, USA in 2005 Imperial Triumphant is a US black/death/avant-garde metal act formed in 2005. You could write something like: IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT is a US black/death/avant-garde metal act formed by Zachary Ilya EZRIN in New York City in 2005. A number of line-up changes over several years culminated in the band as it is known today eventually forming in 2012, when Erik MALAVE joined on bass, and Kenny GROHOWSKI on drums. The band released their debut album 'Abominamentvm' that same year, and IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT's second album, 'Abyssal Gods', was released in March 2015, with additional contributions from several guest musicians. Steve BLANCO replaced Erik MALAVE on bass later in 2015, and since then the three-piece have equally shared the song-writing duties, with Zach's current bandmates also being professional jazz musicians. Following the release of the band's third studio album 'Vile Luxury' in 2018, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT embarked on their first European tour in April 2019, including a show at the Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands. This was followed by further European dates in November 2019, including headlining the 'Cult Never Dies Stage' at Damnation Festival in Leeds, UK. In October 2019, it was announced that IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT had signed to Century Media Records, and their most recent album 'Alphaville' was released in July 2020, with the same basic line-up as their previous album, along with contributions from several guest musicians with whom they had collaborated, amongst them Tomas HAAKE of MESGUGGAH, longtime collaborator Colin MARSTON, and Trey SPRUANCE of MR. BUNGLE. When they play live, all three band members wear elegant yet sinister Art Deco-style masks with features that represent each of their individual personalities.

Bio just says: Founded in Valladolid, Spain in 2013 Ciconia is an instrumental post-metal band from Spain Using info from: You could write something like: CICONIA is an instrumental post-metal band from Valladolid, Spain, being formed by bass player Jorge FRAGUAS in 2013, with Javier ALTONAGA and Aleix ZOREDA completing the line-up on guitar and drums. Influenced by bands such as OPETH, ANATHEMA, LONG DISTANCE CALLING, PORCUPINE TREE, LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT and even a touch of stoner rock, CICONIA blend the guitar sounds of classic rock and metal, creating a unique sonic experience. They recorded their first studio album 'The Moon Sessions' in November 2013, with it being released early in 2014 and promoted during 2015 via a tour consisting of more than 50 concerts passing through more than 15 countries, and leading to them becoming the first Spanish rock band to play in Bosnia and Serbia. The band signed a worldwide management deal with GlobMetal Promotions in 2016 prior to the release of their second album 'Winterize', this being promoted via a joint tour with the Spanish groove metal band Vita Imana in 2017. Dani DEAN replaced Javier ALTONAGA on lead & rhythm guitars in March 2018, and later that year the band performed at the Resurrection Fest rock festival that takes place annually at Viveiro, in the region of Lugo, Spain. With this new line up, the band has since released its third album called 'Meraki' (2019). |
