For sure. They won the Battle of the Bands last year and won a Peace and Love gig (huge festival. This year the price's even better. Four festival slots).

The girl put vocals down for Nightwish's Amaranth (school recording and soundalike) despite it being a couple of semi-notes too high for her. Came out alright considering the circumstances. They are very talanted and knowledgable. Especially the keyboard player. He's the music theory teacher (and audio production) at school.

I like the way they perform with a real drum kit live. Often, a beat is generated via other ways these days.

Here I found another clip: http://youtu.be/_AI7e-Doyw4

I don't quite follow what you mean is special about they using acoustic drums? Are you talking electronical kit or what, or backing tracks or...? Live bands usually use acoustic drums. Only time I've seen an electronical kit in a live situation is the Elementary school's Christmas show. And it was a bad drum brain.

Wait. Maybe you were talking drums in studio recordings, that are played with samples that aren't even sampled from drums?
 
Well, (dance) bands with such a vibe (and such use of keyboard) often leave out the kit. No drummer. Just something running along.
 
Ah I see. Yeah some genres use loops rather than real drums, or programmed beats (like some Rihanna songs for instance- I like her though). That's more common in solo artist bands and stuff, or artist with backing musicians, not "real bands" if I dare say so.

I quite like this band - And I don't generally like that sort of music so that's high praise for them.
 
Quite a surprise indeed. :)

Well, the songs are the things that matter here. Not every band needs to have a fantastic guitar player or vocalist.  :D

Nice pick!

You particularly might like Tales. Lots of catchy melodies, and some cool keyboard hooks. Some songs clearly have a Maiden influence. And if you can stand Tolkki's voice, you might like the Strato album as well.

Nice choices.  :ok:
Both albums have some really nice tunes.The vocals especially on the 1st one sound a bit childish but I can get over it.I really like 8th Sin as well.A bit more commercial sound compared to previous albums but still heavy and edgy.

Bought Symphony X's Iconoclast on the recommendation of some here.
Haven't really absorbed it yet, but initial impressions are good.
It hasn't been on my player as much as it might have been because I also bought Saxon's Call of Duty at the same time.
That one is an excellent combination of old-school Saxon songwriting with their more modern metal sound.
