Sideways

The symphonic rock band Sideways (from Holland) has been writing her own material. In 2006 they recorded the CD “….and there is light”, in 2008 "Fate", and now their third album "Fear of Living" is due to appear. The first two albums where enthusiastically received by both public and press. The American site Proggnosis wrote: “....and there is light is a very good Neo Prog album, one of the best I have heard in quite a while”. From the Netherlands en Germany came positive reviews as well, in which the style is compared to that of Marillion.
Sideways as sympho-rockband is complete with vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums. This means atmospheric carpets, pumping rhythms, heart pouring strings and a melodramatic story. The songs vary from simple to complex, but always put melody, atmosphere and emotion at the centre.
Drawing upon broad experiences, the members of Sideways bring together their creativity and diverse musical backgrounds to produce their characteristic sound. The music is at its best live. The band has an evening filling program for bars, theaters and festivals.
