Hey everyone!
Kicking off the first official day of Spring with an all-new edition of Artist Spotlight! This week, we're keeping it local with an emerging prog-rock band from Beantown called Helicopria. The band consists of Sirma Munyar on lead vocals, Sulene V on guitar and backing vocals, Drew Moore on bass, and JP Bouvet on drums. The band has a deep, intricate prog-rock influence inspired by the likes of The Mars Volta and RX Bandits with Sirma's vocals adding a profound sense of melody and power that is omnipresent throughout all of their songs. Each band member evokes a certain sense of style and conforms to a stage presence all their own that when combined together, is absolutely breathtaking and is something to behold seeing in person and can't just be heard on record. I had the opportunity to catch these guys in concert last month at Cafe 939 in Boston right near the Berklee College of Music (where all the band members currently attend), and the show had the raw and intense energy of a band who seemed to have been around for several years and had it all down to a science, from the communication of the band to the audience in between songs to Drew jumping off the speaker during the band's last song was a sight to behold and presented a band that has the immense potential to truly go places. Some standout tracks for you to check out from the band include "The Intermission", "Turbulence", "Prove Me Wrong", and "Not My Intention", the latter two of which you can view the live videos from the Cafe 939 performance on their YouTube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/Helicopria
