Through Mists – Branches (Self Released)
Becoming a parent can significantly change a person and alter their lives completely, and it is this change that Through Mists explores on this new album.

King 810 – Under The Black Rainbow (Self Released)
Credit where credit is due, this is a very ambitious and imaginative project from King 810. Always capable of surprising and always capable of delivering something memorable. Don’t be under any false illusions though, there are aspects of this EP that is still very much them. It just so happens to be a different kind of story telling from the group.

Mothman and the Thunderbirds – Portal Hopper (Self Released)
For the story alone, this new Mothman and the Thunderbirds release is their most impressive effort yet. However, when combined with a dazzling array of sounds that draws from the worlds of prog, rock, pop, psychedelia, and more, it becomes even more special.
