Eyestrings - Another gem?

[Rick and Roll]

My good friends at Orion Studios (www.orionsound.com), sent me an email about their upcoming shows. Check out this bio about a band coming in April:

"Eyestrings is a four piece progressive rock band from Royal Oak, Michigan. Now, if I told you the band features a singer and keyboardist with the last name "Parmenter", a bass player named Mat Kennedy, plus guitar and drums, you'd likely jump to the conclusion I was describing another well-known band from Royal Oak. Indeed there is a very strong connection; vocalist Ryan Parmenter counts his uncle Matthew as a major supporter of his musical endeavors, and bassist Mat Kennedy in fact plays in both Discipline and Eyestrings. "Burdened Hands" is their debut album, a 10-track, 66-minute album of rock music with a rich spectrum of influence including hints of Peter Gabriel, Radiohead, Genesis, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Crack the Sky, and Tom Waits. There's a good variety in their music that never betrays the cohesiveness of their sound overall."

I have not checked out their record yet, but the website is www.eyestrings.com . If they are a fraction of what Discipline is, this is a major treat.

If anyone checks this out, please let me know what you think. I'll do the same in the meantime.
