Art by Nolan

Nick Barrett loves what he does. It's as simple as that. 30 years we've had Pendragon, and they've created some of the most memorable music in progressive rock. Up until recently the band has gone with a pretty tried and true formula of melodic progressive rock played through brilliant musicianship. With Believe in 2005, however, Pendragon sort of beefed up their sound with chunky guitars and gruff vocals. 2008 brings us Pure: an album of real music about real things. We also have real heavy music, with Nick drawing a lot of influences from this 'new metal' popularized by bands such as Riverside out of Poland, but still maintaining their melodic tendencies. The band have entered into a new phase of their music, it seems.

A cycle of songs by Mikis Theodorakis, written in 1961, for the theatrical play "The Hostage", based on the poetry of the Irish poet Brendan Behan, translated in Greek by the poet Vassilis Rotas. The original release contained 16 songs with Maria Farantouri. This remastered new release of 2011 includes 4 bonus songs recorded with the singer Ntora Yiannakopoulou. The play and the songs are an hymn to the fight of the Irish people for their freedom and their human rights. Greek people embraced the songs for their own fight against the military junta of the period 1967-73.

It reads like the kind of story you’d see in an old rock rag or zine… Four lifelong friends from Northern California grow up obsessed with the sounds of AC/DC, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, The Bee Gees and Michael Jackson. Living within a block of each other since kindergarten, they began playing anywhere and everywhere with a stage by the age of 16, taking over supper clubs, parties, and backyard barbecues. After their single “Make It Real” cracked 2 million Spotify streams, they made a collective decision to forego college and trade their small Sacramento suburb for Hollywood, forming Vista Kicks in late 2015. Living together in a cramped one-bedroom apartment, the quartet—Derek Thomas, Sam Plecker, Trevor Sutton, and Nolan Le Vine—quietly ignited a buzz throughout L.A. and beyond with two full U.S. national tours under their belts and recording with Tommy Lee behind the board.

Sometimes one night can change everything. On this particular night, Wren and her three best friends are attending a black-tie party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the opening of a major exhibit curated by her father. An enormous wind blasts through the city, making everyone feel that something unexpected and perhaps wonderful will happen. And for Wren, that something wonderful is Nolan. With his root-beer-brown Michelangelo eyes, Nolan changes the way Wren’s heart beats.
