Hi everyone,
My name is Jonathan, and I'm a drummer/composer from Chicago. I'm new here, and first I want to say that I have immense respect and admiration for all the pioneers of Progressive Rock/Metal, and it is daunting trying to carve out one's own niche in a genre so filled with brilliance. That being said, I thought you guys might like to check out some new music that draws much, though not all, of its inspiration from the aforementioned pioneers. Yep, I've got a Prog Rock band called District 97, and our debut album "Hybrid Child" was just released worldwide by Laser's Edge tp tremendous reviews. The kicker that seperates us from any other prog band is that we feature 2007 American Idol Finalist Leslie Hunt and Chicago Symphony Orchestra virtuoso cellist Katinka Kleijn. Here are some links you guys can check out:

If you guys like what you hear, you can pick it up everywhere online for sale or download. Either way, I'd be curious to hear the thoughts of some like-minded music fans!
Jonathan
