Ep. 14: Hawaii - Aisles (feat. Aisles)

While most of the bands in the early days of progressive rock hailed from cities in England, Destin and Drew show that the genre can be found all over the world as they discuss Hawaii, a double album from the Chilean prog-rock group Aisles. This is the first episode to include an interview with members of the band! Gérman Vergara (guitars) and Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards) discuss their theatrical origins, the artistic themes woven throughout the narrative of this concept album, and the emotional driving force that drives their writing process. While the influences of earlier bands are clearly discernible on Hawaii, Aisles incorporates a variety of musical styles to establish a sound that is truly its own. Gérman believes that Aisles should be able to surprise itself whenever creating something new. The passion that went into making this record is clearly heard on each track, and fans of music everywhere can appreciate the unique personality that comes in earnest from Hawaii.
