We've just uploaded another first-mix of a song from the upcoming EP. It's called North and is what you *might* be tempted to call a ballad. Nevermind what one calls it, it features some of the softer material that will make up our first release, as well as some of the more vicious segments.
Have a listen, and "like" the facebook page if you use the site. https://www.facebook.com/gardenprog http://garden.bandcamp.com/track/north |

This week Garden got a new violinist for the next EP which we'll be rehearsing towards come January, and the *first* EP's long overdue mixing, mastering and release begins this week, so bumpity bump. Wander over to the facebook, soundcloud or bandcamp and have a listen to our demos, there is much more to come in the near future.
Cheers pals. https://www.facebook.com/gardenprog https://soundcloud.com/garden-prog http://garden.bandcamp.com/ |

Thought I'd bump this thread, not least of all to check whether having an EP is enough to be stuck on the database???

Forgive us but we have a bunch of candidates in the evaluation list, especially in Prog Metal Team (they're one of the most active Teams of all).
I love your stuffs, but afraid whether only one EP can ring their bell ... I'll pass you to Team, anyhow. EDIT: You can follow the process here; http://progfreak.com/Garden-155175.html?path=pa/pm Edited by DamoXt7942 - January 12 2013 at 18:23 |

Cheers very much, I'm not really in any rush actually, I was just curious. Happy to wait!

It means that the team considering the work for inclusion believe it is prog, but not falling under their own sub-genre for inclusion, so they will ask another team to evaluate. It's called ping pong in some societies.

Almost there, I don't see any problem in being added to the site - if you could throw in here a short biography that would be much appreciated

Sure thing, let's see...
"Garden began in 2006 as a personal creative venture for composer & multi-instrumentalist Samuel Bradley, originally the goal being to play power metal with a slight progressive twist, along with the addition of violin in stead of synthesised orchestral sounds. The difficulties of forming a band lasted some years, which would turn out for the best, as when Garden finally came to record their first demo in late 2011, followed by the debut EP a year later, the music was far more sophisticated than the original vision would indicate, having picked up influences from a variety of styles and disciplines through the years, as well as expanding the ensemble to include even more acoustic instruments alongside the standard rock lineup." Well, not sure if that's any good. As you can tell there's not much to say. I've basically been writing songs in my bedroom until I was able to record them recently but if something's better than nothing then there you go! |

^ good enough for now Samuel, thanks, once cleared I will be putting things together e.g. band members etc. and post it here for any comment - when would you say Garden became a full band? 2011?

Cheers aapatsos
Yes, 2011's the most accurate, though even now we don't have a drummer and don't perform live! |

I'm fascinated by your stuff. Not sure it's precisely my 'bag', but that's no bad thing. (Some great performances, though!)
I'm guessing I'll grow to love it . . . |

Thanks very much!
As it so happens, the newer stuff is considerably less metal-oriented and the next release will feature acoustic guitar and flute a-plenty... |

"considerably less metal-oriente"
Them's the bits I like! |

We're in the middle of recording our second EP and have just uploaded a video of the progress so far. Have a wee look if you fancy!
