Many Arms have written upon the wall of the progressive indie rock scene with a bold stroke. Equally indebted to Ornette Coleman, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and latter-day Black Flag, the band’s jagged songs hit hard and hit often while remaining willing to take a turn towards the pretty or the weird when occasionally inclined. Sophisticated and unpredictable, Many Arms creates music that will unite both rockers and music nerds.

Multi-faceted musician, songwriter & producer, PETE LESPERANCE is best known as guitarist and half of the songwriting force behind international recording group Harem Scarem.
Pete’s first solo album ‘Down In It’ was released in 2004 and then re-released as a band album under the monicker Fair Ground two years later (with a slightly different songlist).
Now, while producing other bands and contributing to numerous artists as stellar guest, Lesperance releases his 2nd solo “Fade Into Stars”.
This is a ‘songwriter’ album, organic and integral, based of Pete’s guitar playing and his sweet and warm vocals.
It has his trademark sound on the uptempo tracks, while some acoustic and relaxed tunes showcases the man’s more personal side.
Fans waiting for a Harem Scarem reunion (at the moment, disbanded) will be pleased to listen some songs in the vein of the band’s last works, and also contibutions by the Harem crew as Creighton Doane (who plays most the drums and percussion), Barry Donaghy and of course Harry Hess, not only singing but also engineering and mastering.
The Finns PSYCHEMA place this year with “The entry point”, in front after an EP in 2008, their official debut album. According to the information flyer plays progressive metal quintet. Well, if the word progressive increases in the original sense, is not it in a certain way. Stylistically, the limited band around singer / guitarist Tomi Kavala, anyway. However, they are not as brave as you could wish for good.
PSYCHEMA feel both the death metal and gothic metal and – as mentioned above – progressive metal attached. With the progressive element in the music of PSYCHEMA based not so much on Frickel passages, but rather by the combination of these ingredients. This is a risky business, and overall, the Finns are to do any bad way. As so often, it is sick but in the implementation of those objectives. “The entry point” does not sound really intended to end. One can see that the band made their mind works and has tried to implement it. This results in song fragments that promote the potential of PSYCHEMA well to light. On the other hand, there is far too much kitsch, as heard in “antiparticle”. Overall, the proportion of kitsch is the debut album by the Finns simply too high. That was the mid-nineties, when the Gothic genre just experienced its high point, even annoying, but somehow it was. Today, one can elicit such sounds with at most dreamy teen Goths delight from the cellar and.
