Seasons End

After Fish's departure, Marillion teetered on the brink of collapse: The frontman's distinct voice and poetic prose made him the defining member of the band. One can only imagine how record executives held their collective breath as Steve Hogarth was brought in to take the reins. His first outing with band, 1989's Season's End, removed all doubts about the band's future. Hogarth's unique, expressive voice fit Marillion perfectly; on the full-throttle rock assault of "The Uninvited Guest" or the emotional "After You," Hogarth's singularity is unmistakable. The heartfelt "Easter," with its imaginative electric-acoustic arrangement, is another showcase for Hogarth's talents…

Three Sesaons is a Swedish rock band and trio made up of Sartez Faraj on vocals, Olle Risberg and Christian Eriksson, releasing rock music with great 1960s and 1970s influences. It is signed to the Swedish Transubstans record label. The trio was formed in 2009 and their debut album was the double vinyl album Life's Road, with heavy blues rock, psychedelic jams, with touches of folk music, groovy funk and jazz. It was immediately followed by 7" single "Escape". Encouraged by the success, they released a second LP in 2012 entitled Understand the World and an arrangement with Dutch distributors Clear Spot to repress the initial vynil for Life's Road and wider distribution throughout Europe.

Swedish band Three Seasons was formed back in 2009, and through 6 years and three albums they have managed to work their way to becoming quite the popular band in a relatively short amount of time. "Grow" is their third studio album, and was released in the late spring of 2014 through Swedish label Transubstans Records. Those familiar with this band from previous occasions, or those familiar with their label, will have a pretty good idea about what to expect from this production. The band's label are known for signing bands exploring a more vintage oriented kind of rock, and Three Seasons hasn't been an exception in that department. This is a band with a deep affection for the rock and hard rock of the 1970's, and they document their talents quite nicely indeed also on this occasion.
