Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

If the cinematic car crash constitutes the cliché that never dies (or kills or wounds its action hero passengers, for that matter), the new play presented by Unstrung Harpist Productions and directed by Tom Prewitt seeks to portray the darker, uglier side of its actual victims’ real-life experiences.

Shock/Trauma chronicles the effects – personal, social, familial, romantic – of Anna Parker’s (Julie Roundtree) crippling injuries in the wake of a devastating car crash that temporarily leaves her in a medically induced coma. Upon her return to consciousness, she faces not only a daunting road to recovery that proves physically and psychologically taxing, but also the feelings of guilt, bewilderment and helplessness of her friends and loved ones, including her boyfriend, Marc Radford (Evan Crump), who struggle in vain to help Anna – and themselves – restore a semblance of normalcy to their lives.

TO-MERA – EXILE 2012

NOW!London GOOD BYE…

London-based To-Mera took matters into their own hands and self-produced their third and latest album, Exile. It’s concept album concerning some rather complex and perplexing matters. The protagonist, having faced hardship, suffering, and loss, places herself in personal exile to avoid any future harm. While in her self-imposed exile, she searches for answers about existence, humanity, and the meaning of life. Darn heady stuff. I’ll leave it to you, once you buy the disc, to discover the answers she finds.

Coming to a new To-Mera album can be quite the challenge. They play true progressive rock and metal, that is, always pushing the boundaries of complex arrangements. While the music is compelling and the musicianship first class, it’s hard to call To-Mera’s prog overly accessible or commercially viable. But if it’s intrigue and challenge you want, To-Mera’s delivers to the full extent, and that makes Exile entertaining.
