Music Under Fire

We've been running circles trying to keep up with groups lately. With the summer tours and festivals about to jump full steam this coming week, we present to you one of our showcase groups, Russian Circles.

As a fan of ambient and progressive rock alike, the announcement of Russian Circle's June tour throughout the U.S. nabbed our fancy once more. The three guys who claim their home in Chicago, don't sing and don't want anyone listening to them expecting that either. Their second full-length album, Station (5/07), is off of Suicide Squeeze Records and features six tracks all rigged with their own firepower, whether it be through a lonely guitar or a rock ballad.
