Any band can decide upon a wacky name, but once you’ve captured the attention of a potential listener you need to keep ‘em hooked with your music. If you’re going for bizarre, you’ve got to have the goods to back it up. This brings us to the fantastically named Nolan Potter’s Nightmare Band, who have released their debut full length album, Nightmare Forever. The group hail from Austin, Texas and despite only releasing their first singles ‘Elf Curse’ and ‘Caberfae Peaks’ in the past year, it would seem the group have already picked up some traction, releasing their debut on John Dwyer’s Castle Face imprint…
The Visitor is the third studio album by the British progressive band Arena, released in 1998. One of prog's great records of the 90's and beyond. With The Visitor Arena became a 'real' band, not just a Clive Nolan (Pendragon) project with ex original Marillion drummer Mick Pointer. Now with their best ever line up that included John Mitchel on guitar, John Jowitt (IQ, Jadis) on bass and vocalist Paul Wrightson they produced one of prog's masterpieces of all time. This concept album about a man facing a near death experience is really thrilling, both musically and lyrically.
