Sleazy, sexy-saxy and saturated post-prog is the order of the day; Call Me Dragon by These Monsters is a beefed-up latter-day Court of the Crimson King. SRSLY.

For this week at least, Albany NY’s Aficionado are the best band you’ve never heard of. The Myth Of Real Life, told in… vaudeville post-hardcore prog? SRSLY.
