Independent Bands
One of my very favorite things to do is play and promote Independent Artists. Here I will post links to some of my very favorites. If you would like to have your band added here, please hunt me down on the facebook page for ViaMental.
A*Star
A*Star is another band that I've recently discovered, thanks to Richard of SH Rock's "Prognosis". This is a very catchy band with some killer music, and some of the best vocals that I have ever heard.

Phoenix Down
Phoenix Down is a Progressive Metal band that recently came to my attention thanks to guitarist Phil Berger. This is killer Prog that brings to mind the music of Rush and Dream Theater. Definitely worth a great many listens!

Corvus Stone
Corvus Stone is one of the most interesting bands I've heard in a very long time, and a favorite on SH Rock. Their music is crazy and innovative and takes so many different crazy directions that they are a hard band not to like.

The Minstrel's Ghost
The Minstrel's Ghost has some of the coolest vocals I have heard in a long time, along with some fantastic progressive rock music. Their album "The Road To Avalon" is one of my very favorites from 2012.

Madcapeye
Madcapeye are new to ViaMental, and a great band to add to the setlist. Their music is heavy, melodic, and well worth many listens. I started playing "Rides" on February, 21st. A very cool metal song, with blistering music and intense vocals.
