Aisles – Featured Artist of The Week

aisles 2

Aisles have been considered one of the most interesting Progressive Rock bands of recent years and have just released their third studio album ‘4:45 AM’.

Their soulfully crafted combination of rock, progressive rock, art rock, fusion, world music and other styles illustrates the band’s unique liberal and eclectic music vision.

Aisles have been regarded as Prog Rock, but their approach to music goes far beyond that while creating a very powerful and unique type of music and sound.In 2003 the band produced a demo with the goal of publishing their music. Having achieved such a high quality of sound and powerful compositions they decided to use it as their first record. In 2005 “The Yearning” was born and consequently published and distributed in Europe, the United States and Japan.In 2007 the seeds of the album “In Sudden Walks” were sown. This self-produced album was in works for over a year, while the band perfected their music and sound alongside internationally recognized technicians.

Once again, the quality of both the music and the production of “In Sudden Walks” caught the attention of the music press. AISLES were nominated for the Prog Awards (Italy) in the Best Foreign Record category, no mean achievement given the strong history of Italy’s progressive music. In addition the band were invited to France to open the 11th Progressive Rock Festival CRESCENDO in August 2009, and were a huge hit with the audience, consolidating their place on the international music scene.

Aisles were formed to serve as a constantly evolving vehicle of expression maintaining an unmistakably unique identity. Allowing creativity to prevail above all else fuels the band’s desire to create.

Aisles’ third record, ‘4:45 AM, has been officially released on October 29th via Presagio Records.

One may describe Utica, New York based band Jack and the Jukebox as having an edgy (ha) neoclassical alt rock sound with a romantic patina of cabaret. Not that anyone needs labels.
