ESTOS SON LO TEMAS QUE SE PUSIERON:
Candlebox was formed in Seattle in December 1991 by singer/guitarist Kevin Martin , a native of Elgin, IL, who'd grown up partly in San Antonio, and drummer Scott Mercado . Initially calling the band Uncle Duke, they added lead guitarist Peter Klett and bassist Bardi Martin (no relation to Kevin ) and changed the group's name to Candlebox, after a line in a Midnight Oil song. Their demo tape found its way to Madonna 's Maverick label, which quickly resulted in a record deal in 1992. Candlebox's self-titled debut was released in 1993, and while the first single, "Change," began to build them a following, it wasn't until 1994, when the follow-up, "You," appeared, that the group really started to take off. "You" gave them a breakthrough hit on mainstream rock radio, which set the stage for the success of "Far Behind," essentially a power ballad for the grunge era. "Far Behind" was a major hit on both mainstream and alternative radio, and also made the pop Top 20; its exposure helped Candlebox climb into the Top Ten on the LP chart and eventually sell over three million copies. By the time Candlebox returned with their second album, 1995's Lucy , the backlash was already in full swing. Partly because of the group's previous momentum, the lead single, "Simple Lessons," earned some rock radio airplay, and the album itself went gold and barely missed the Top Ten. However, it was largely ignored or dismissed by much of the mainstream media, and was ultimately hurt by a relative lack of memorable songs. In 1997, founding member Mercado left the band and was replaced by original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen . Candlebox's third album, Happy Pills , appeared in 1998 and marked a return to the more basic sound of their debut. "It's Alright," "10,000 Horses," and the title cut all landed some airplay, but the album sold poorly; by this time, countless bands were working in a similar style, and the band's early momentum had long since dissipated. Krusen departed in 1999, as did Bardi Martin ; they were replaced by Shannon Larkin (ex- Ugly Kid Joe ) and Rob Redick , respectively.

Formados por Stringer más el guitarrista Kenwyn House, el bajista Jack Bessant y el baterista Dominic Greensmith, Naked firmó su primer contrato en 1994 con S2, una subsidiaria de Sony Music, con la condición de cambiar su nombre. Así nació Reef. En 1994 actuaron por primera vez en el Royal Albert Hall abriendo para Paul Weller y al año siguiente editaron su primer álbum, el bien recibido "Replenish". El primer single del disco, llamado 'Naked', alcanzó el puesto número 11 del ranking pop del Reino Unido, luego que un extracto de la canción apareciera en un comercial del Mini-Disc de Sony. De esta forma el nombre y la música de la banda comenzaron a ser pan de cada día en las radios locales, llegando a traspasar las fronteras hasta Estados Unidos, donde obtuvieron una tibia recepción. Con un sonido que traía las raíces marcadas en las melodías de The Beatles pero con un animo de constante renovación y experimentación, la música de Reef se definía por ser alegre y muy radial, elementos que mantuvieron en la composición de su siguiente álbum, el súper éxito "Glow", que debutó en el número uno del ranking inglés en enero de 1997. Luego de una intensa gira por Inglaterra y algunos países de Europa, la banda se dio un tiempo para descansar y ordenar sus ideas musicales, volviendo tiempo después para componer nuevo material. Su regreso discográfico vino a mediados del 2000 cuando editaron "Getaway", un disco bien pensado y trabajado, que fue producto de intensos meses de trabajo y búsqueda. El resultado es notable por su compenetración y solidez, destacando la preocupación por detalles y por las melodías rockeras que los acercaron mucho más a un sonido post-grunge que a uno brit-pop- Hay buenas guitarras, armonías exquisitas y manejos vocales que varían entre la suavidad y la histeria. Sin duda, Reef está encontrando un nicho muy saludable para su música, que va más allá de su resultado comercial, pero que, sin duda, tiene como objetivo conquistar de una vez por todas el mercado norteamericano.

Up the Downstair, Porcupine Tree's next full album, found Wilson coming fully into his own, creating a majestic, sweeping album that took the prog inspirations of the past fully into a realm of mysterious hush and beauty as much as full-on rock charge. Two collaborators on other projects, bassist Colin Edwin and keyboardist Richard Barbieri, the latter one of the core members of early '80s pop-art geniuses Japan, guested on the album. Later that year, the two formally joined Porcupine Tree, along with drummer Chris Maitland, establishing a four-piece lineup that has remained unchanged since then.
A
friendly parting from Delerium led Porcupine Tree to Snapper/K-Scope,
who released 1998's Stupid Dream, notable for its stronger song focus
and slightly more accessible feel all around. The band's reputation
and fan base continued to grow, with another album, Lightbulb Sun, taking
its bow in 2000. Porcupine Tree continued to tour and plan ahead for
both new recordings and reissues of older, rarer material, the first
of which surfaced in May of 2001, titled Recordings. Various unreleased
cuts from the Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun sessions as well as a few
b-sides were included. They spent the rest of the year putting together
Stars Die - the Delerium Years, a box set that looks at their catalog
from 1991 to 1997. Many more unreleased and rare tracks found their
way onto the set, and the album finally came out in late Autumn of 2001.
DrummerChris Maitland left the band in March of 2002, but luckily Gavin
Harrison was available to take his place. A year later, In Absentia
was released. |

El grupo Pink Floyd nació en Cambridge, como la evolución de un pequeño grupo de aficionados a la música, 'Arquitectural Abdams'(anteriormente 'Sigma 6'), que debían su nombre al hecho de que la mayoría de sus miembros estudiaba arquitectura en la Universidad Politécnica de Londres. 
. También inician la grabación del disco de su primera película 'More'. 
Candlebox rode the grunge bandwagon to multi-platinum success in the early '90s, despite howls of protest from the Seattle faithful who considered their music a watered-down version of the genuine article. To be sure, Candlebox's take on grunge diluted the punk and indie elements inherent in its original form; instead, they were rooted in the bluesy, classic-style hard rock that grunge had ostensibly replaced. Their resulting commercial appeal made them highly suspect in the minds of authenticity-obsessed scenesters, and it didn't help matters that the band hadn't formed until well after the Seattle hype machine had begun. Nonetheless, Candlebox unwittingly helped usher in the post-grunge era; along with Bush , they showed how the more challenging aspects of grunge could be ironed out and polished into a sound that mainstream rock radio could embrace without reservation.
The
frontman for one of the most revered British bands of the 1980s and
'90s, Ian Brown symbolized the arrogant cocksureness of his mouthpiece,
the Stone Roses. Although the group released one of the three or four
most influential records of the decade in 1989 (their debut, at that),
they slowly imploded during the early '90s and released only one more
album before splitting up. Guitarist/songwriter John Squire formed
a new band, Seahorses, while bassist Mani (Gary Mounfield) joined
Primal Scream. Brown inaugurated his post-Stone Roses career with
a 1998 solo LP, Unfinished Monkey Business. The album was recorded
with the help of ex-Roses replacement guitarist Aziz Ibrahim, but
spotlighted a more emotionally diverse approach to music-making than
expected. The excellent follow-up, Golden Greats, arrived in the States
in early 2000, and Music of the Spheres followed one year later. In
2003, Brown contributed a volume in the Under the Influence series
and had a cameo in the third Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban. The next year Brown released Solarized, his most
varied and politically charged record to date.

California's Fu Manchu began crafting heavy, psychedelic tinged rock
in 1990 with their debut single "Kept Between Trees." Throughout
the early '90s the group honed their sound on similarly intense singles,
and released their debut album No One Rides For Free in 1994 on Bong
Load Records. Daredevil, also on Bong Load, followed in 1995. The group
switched to Mammoth Records for their 1996 album In Search Of; the next
year, founding members Scott Hill (vocals, guitars) and Brad Davis (bass,
vocals) added lead guitarist Bob Balch and former Kyuss drummer Brant
Bjork to their lineup, and they released their second album for Mammoth,
The Action Is Go. During this time the group gained a reputation as
a powerful live act, supporting like-minded groups like the Melvins,
Kyuss, White Zombie, Monster Magnet and Clutch in the States, and Corrosion
of Conformity, the Hellacopters and Marilyn Manson in Europe. 1998 saw
the release of Return To Earth, which collected their early singles,
and the Eatin' Dust EP, which was released by Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin
label. Fu Manchu released their fifth full-length album King Of The
Road in early 2000, following it up with a lengthy tour of the United
States. They took time off to work on new material, emerging in the
spring of 2002 with California Crossing. 
Liderados
por el vocalista Gary Stringer, esta banda nacida en un pequeño
pueblo en Street, Inglaterra, ha sabido combinar lo más honesto
del pop con lo más suave del rock para conformar un sonido honesto,
bien hecho y atractivo. Desde 1993, la banda (inicialmente llamada Naked)
ha ido evolucionando para encontrar un camino propio que los aleje del
brit pop inglés y que los lleve al lugar ocupado por bandas como
Bush u Oasis.
Though
he initially came to wider attention (at least in the U.K.) with No-Man,
his long-running collaboration with Tim Bowness, throughout the 1990s,
singer/guitarist Steven Wilson has gained as much of a reputation for
Porcupine Tree. Embracing and exploring prog rock inspirations while
always keeping an ear out for newer musical connections, thus sidestepping
the pointless revivalism of many of the band's peers, Porcupine Tree
has created some noteworthy albums and songs over the years, continuing
full strength into the new millennium.
The
group itself was just Wilson at the start; born in London in 1967, he
was too young to participate in the first full flush of psychedelic
and experimental rock music, but swiftly made up for lost time, turning
out to be a talented musical prodigy. Having learned guitar and keyboards
at a young age, he contributed to work by underground prog outfits of
the early '80s such as Altamont and Karma while continuing his own musical
growth and exploration. 1987 saw the founding of both No-Man and Porcupine
Tree, the latter actually starting as a joke between Wilson and a friend
about a legendary lost '70s group. Elaborate discographies and other
material were created à la Spinal Tap, while Wilson himself created
a slew of music meant to be the band's lost recordings. In a humorous
twist of fate, two tapes of this material ended up in the hands of other
folks interested in hearing more from Wilson, who ended up collating
the best tracks for Porcupine Tree's real debut album on Delerium Records,
On the Sunday of Life, in 1992. Those songs having been something of
a nostalgia exercise, Wilson aimed for a more contemporary approach
on his follow-up release — the extended single "Voyage 34,"
with a clear debt to ambient techno jokesters the Orb.
The
first release by the new version of the group, The Sky Moves Sideways,
was actually something of a transitional affair, a number of the songs
still being Wilson solo compositions and performances. A slew of fine
songs stood out regardless, notably "Moonloop," but the band
members themselves considered the quartet's true debut to be 1996's
Signify, another stunning step forward of the Porcupine Tree sound with
new highlights everywhere, including the epic blast of the title track
itself. A nice nod to the past came that year with the vinyl-only Spiral
Circus album, featuring selections from the first three performances
of the four-piece lineup in 1993, while 1997's Coma Divine featured
more recent live recordings from the Rome stop on the Signify tour.
By this time, Porcupine Tree's reputation had spread throughout Europe
and elsewhere, including an increasing cult following in America.
