District 97

Just coming on the scene and newly signed to Lasers Edge records is Chicago band District 97.  This band consists of a core group of friends that have been playing together for quite some time,  a female cellist from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a top 24 American Idol  finalist  on vocals.  These guys maybe on to something special. A healthy dose of prog metal some very heavy symphonic elements and healthy dose of Red era KC all blended into a modern sound.   They have been signed to play CalProg this October and next Springs Rosfest.

I also learnt their existence recently. As for the overall music character, the element of symphonic Heavy might be strong as the result.

Very interesting band. Might be fit for Crossover, I'll ask the team for an evaluation. 

Here's my three cents on them - what a fantastic release!
