The Dear Hunter

I think they'll have a lot of appeal to most DT fans. They can be heavy and proggy and are filled with all kinds of musical deliciousness for you to sink your ears into. Fun fact: Their first full-length album ("Act II: The Meaning Of, & All Things Regarding, Ms. Leading") made Mike Portnoy's list of top 10 albums of 2007. Their latest release ("The Color Spectrum") is a 9-EP set based on the 7 colors of the rainbow plus Black and White. Seriously... how much more prog can you get?! Here's something to start you off if you're new: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fIgwS6PX4M&ob=av3e It's turtles all the way down.

Probably one of the best performances I've ever seen, I hope to God they come to England soon! Watch this video. ...Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates... http://www.facebook.com/#!/chris.davenport3

You have to see them live if you can... they put on a fantastic show, and the entire band is extremely accessible and friendly. They still work the merch stands themselves and pretty much always hang out with fans after the show. They're starting to really grow in popularity though, so I don't know how much longer those days will last. (I think they sold out like 6 or 7 consecutive shows on their last tour) It's turtles all the way down.
