Days Between Stations
https://www.daysbetweenstations.com/
Days Between Stations are Oscar Fuentes Bills and Sepand Samzadeh.
In fall 2003, Sepand Samzadeh placed an ad in a local magazine and Oscar Fuentes responded. The two began composing music and Fuentes suggested a very fitting name for the band, Days Between Stations –the name of a novel Fuentes had read by Steve Erikson.
In 2004, Fuentes and Samzadeh sent Bruce Soord, leader of the British band The Pineapple Thief, a CD with nearly an hour’s worth of mostly improvised material. Soord used some of this material as the basis for the song “Saturday” on The Pineapple Thief’s 12 Stories Down (Cyclops 2004).

This Thursday celebrate the release of the new Firefall (Firefallofficial.com) album Comet with an interview with Mark Andes Bass player from the iconic band! Then welcome Jordan Rudess (www.Jordanrudess.com) of Dream Theater to discuss his upcoming virtual ProgStock (https://www.progstock.com/) concert on November 21st on https://www.stageit.com/ and the Moogvember celebration!

The Dreaming City
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtML0AN1sPo

Glass Hammer returns to the world of THE INCONSOLABLE SECRET with 2020’s DREAMING CITY. Perhaps the group’s most powerful musical statement to date, DREAMING CITY tells the story of a “desperate man…as doomed as they come” who must fight his way through a spectrum of horrors to rescue his lover. We find out early in the album that the protagonist has only three days to find her before she dies; a dilemma which sets the stage for all that is to come and guarantees an emotional roller-coaster ride for the listener.
