Oceansize is a difficultly categorizable band from Manchester, England. With root in Rock and influence drawn from tons of other styles, they've managed to create a trademark sound that is as melodic and subtle as complex and apparently chaotic. And somehow they get everything together.

What can I say about Pink Floyd... English pioneers of what we call today Progressive Rock. Responsibles for a genuine style of playing and creating music that carries a legacy that will last forever in music. Key influence in thousands of great bands playing nowadays, such as Muse, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and almost every Rock band alive.

Pain Of Salvation is an outstanding Progressive Metal band from Sweeden leaded by mastermind Daniel Gildenlöw, who started the band at the age of 11. They are amongst other things responsible of maintaining the forgotten spirit of the conceptual album alive, as every album release of theirs is a unique statement musically and conceptually.

The Dear Hunter is a project led by talented Casey Crescenzo. The band's sound is a unique combination (very difficult to describe, though very easy to identify) of alternative and progressive rock, with a very wide instrumentation, outstanding voicing and use of harmony, and somewhat visual and theatrical.

Dredg is an interesting very melodic prog/alternative rock band from California, USA. They have an amazing ability to write songs and take them to life through the intelligent use of melody. Very good grooving and mind-blowing guitarwork by both singer Gavin Hayes and guitarist Mark Engles (including lap-steel guitar) make the footprint of the band.

Starting the review I was wondering if to tag this band as amateur... well they are indeed young and unsigned, but their songs may point out the contrary. 4 song EP Homesick Machinery is a brave stand up by this Copenhaguen quintet, good riffing, good taste and mature composition. Warm voice Mikael Akerdfeldt alike singer and a formidable drummer make the rest.

Frenchman Nicolas Chapel founded it's own solo project Demians with, as he says, 'naive approach', though given it's success it would eventually become a real band with musicians chosen by his own.

With origin in Manchester, Oceansize is one of the most interesting and versatile bands of prog rock of our time.
Their natural ability to balance their music between the thoroughly complex and the inherentlty passionate has given them the key to reach a very wide range of listeners from all time prog and alt rock fans to the very occasional. Frames proves the band in the first statement with an album that does not present 4/4 figures at all and does again with the second with fragile melodies such as 'Savant' or 'The Frame'.
