An ongoing saga charting band's who, for better or worse, I have discovered every month of the year. While I won't list every band, I will be selecting highlights and/or lowlights.

1.

2.

3.The Drowning - This Bleak Descent

4.

5.Riverside - Discovered:Tour Dates. Prog is rarely my thing, but after seeing their name on the Prognosis poster I decided to give them a go and I found myself listening to Wasteland among other cuts in their discography. While I doubt I will be able to attend, I've managed to make myself feel like I'm missing out.
