There are at least two bands called "In Medias Res": 1) an Indie-Rock Band from Canada 2) A progressive/metal band from Lansing, Michigan *1) Ok. So what do you need to know? Band from Vancouver, BC. Formed because somebody knew somebody who went to camp with somebody who let somebody else carry his guitar equipment. A couple years, 500 copies of their EP and almost 2000 copies of their LP later, In Medias Res, as these brothers-from-other-mothers call themselves, decided that while Vancouver was nice and good, they wanted a label to put out their records to the rest of the world, and also a high quality booking agent to send them on top notch tours until the End Of Days. Any advice? Nah. So what do these kids in their early twenties sound like? Think of a band that started out really inspired by acts like Pedro the Lion, the Appleseed Cast, Weezer, Refused and Radiohead but then started growing up… getting into different stuff, appreciating the old stuff in new light. Suddenly Sade wasn’t so uncool anymore. Neither was Vaughan Williams, Sarah McLachlan, Talk Talk, Can, Biz Markie, and Beyonce. But whatever, what do you know? You haven’t seen them live, they might as well be bunch of wannabe emo kids yelling about how much they hate girlfriends. So let’s give it a shot anyways, ok? Walls of sound, bodies flailing all over the place, garagesale tvs on the blink, two hundred kids singing along, and people coming up afterwards with a look in their eyes like… “What the heck just happened to me?” 2) Started in the remains of Chapters of Ours, In Medias Res is quickly gaining ground in the underground scene with their fusion of heavy metal and jazz oriented riffs and harmonies. Hailing from Lansing and Howell, Michigan, even with young age their talent is quickly noticed. With a very unique sound and tuning, IMR utilizes everything from off time rhythms to heavy breakdowns to get their point across. WWW.MYSPACE.COM/INMEDIASRES517 Read more on Last.fm.
