So what's the hold up? Two yes votes on a three man team is enough is it not?
What?

Crossover have several bands/artists still in their 'New' chart who are actually already technically 'Cleared':


Some of them have all three votes as 'yes'.

Thomas hasn't logged into progfreak for around a month, & I already pm'd Scott a 'ready to use' bio for these guys - capitalised where necessary so that it could be just pasted in - to save him time editing the available info himself, if he wished to use it. A selection of band pics is available on the official website: http://www.iamthemanicwhale.com/photo-gallery.html, and the album details are in my previous post on page two of this thread: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=105133&PID=5324887#5324887. 

Shouldn't be too difficult to put this one to bed really.

The Crossover den thus seems to be a bit quiet at the moment... Ermm

You're right, I failed to take Xover's workload into account. Apologies guys - all in good time. Approve

Cleared about a month ago, and I sent Scott a ready to use bio via private message on 12th May to help speed up the addition once the deed was done (if he felt it was fit enough to use, that is Embarrassed).

Anyhow, I really don't know what the hold up is now, so if any other SC wants to intervene here and lay this long-running saga to rest, then here is a copy of that bio:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM THE MANIC WHALE is a progressive rock band formed in Reading, United Kingdom, in 2015, consisting of Michael WHITEMAN (bass guitar and lead vocals, plus occasional keyboards and guitar), David ADDIS (guitars and backing vocals), Ben HARTLEY (drums and backing vocals), and John MURPHY (keyboards and vocals).

Michael and David met at secondary school and have been making music together in various guises for over 20 years. They met Ben a few years later and John relatively recently. Michael began writing music over ten years ago while he was at university, and had been looking for an outlet for it ever since. In 2015 he decided to record a solo progressive rock album under the name I AM THE MANIC WHALE, but after completing the first song it became apparent that he would need some help from his other musician friends, and this gradually evolved into them playing on the whole album. Rob AUBREY was persuaded to take on the mixing duties, and the debut album "Everything Beautiful In Time" was released in December 2015.

The music of I AM THE MANIC WHALE is inspired by many of the great progressive artists, particularly GENESIS, THE FLOWER KINGS, BIG BIG TRAIN, SPOCK'S BEARD and Neal MORSE. Since completing the album the band have begun rehearsing together with a view to some possible future live performances. Michael has also begun working on some ideas for the second album.

Not perfect, I admit...But I've seen worse! LOL

Lol! There are more 'bumps' in this thread than on a roll of bubble-wrap...but here's yet another one! Evil Smile

Two months now since being cleared, and I still think that bio above will do to get them on the site (it gives all the basic facts, and you can always improve on it later if needs be Embarrassed).

Anyone with enough stars over his/her head want to do the honours? Ermm

Embarrassed Nothing picky here, when it's the album title. I had made the correction

Good work. I suppose I'd better get round to reviewing the album then.

 It's time for IATMW fans to help this wonderful prog-band get their second album finished. You can pledge to pre-order the new CD now, or (if you fancy it) there's some other stuff you can get as well...

They have reached the target now but I believe you can still order some goodies.

 Firstly, IATMW need to get the new album to everyone who pledged... Soon after that (perhaps, in October) general release will come.
