NEARFEST PRESS RELEASE
September 5, 2005

LASER'S EDGE RECORDING ARTISTS, RIVERSIDE, TO PLAY NEARFEST 2005

Without doubt one of the brightest lights in song-based progressive rock, the young Polish quartet Riverside is poised to capture a large fan base with Out of Myself, their debut album for The Laser's Edge to be released in September. Riverside creates a musical journey through dark and moody atmospheres that find kindred spirits in Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Anathema, and Pink Floyd. Warm vocals, alternatingly soaring and biting guitars, and cinematic keyboards mesh with a powerful rhythm section and melancholy yet hopeful lyrics to forge an emotionally stirring sound that is significantly more than the sum of its influences. With a diverse palette that encompasses symphonic prog, psychedelia, prog metal and even alternative rock, Riverside will thrill the festival audience in the "Sunday morning surprise" slot at NEARfest 2005.

More to come on the NEARfest website very soon.
