On The Rise: The HUE *SBD* MP3

The Hue hailing from Chicago Illinois is expecting great things in 2009. As their blistering sound continues to evolve, the band constantly finds new ways to create action-packed songs that tell a story, even without lyrics.

From tight progressive rock tunes and wild dance-till-you-drop numbers to expressive and melodious jazz pieces, a fiery dose of dueling guitars mix with the on-point rhythm section attack to reach explosive peaks.

The band sites influences from Yes, Phish, Umphrey’s McGee,to the Grateful Dead, and Led Zeppelin.

To follow up their debut EP, Unscene, The Hue will release their first full-length album, Beyond Words, later this year. The album, which features keyboard virtuoso Eric Levy (Garaj Mahal) on one track, is comprised mostly of brand-new material, capturing the intensity of the band’s live shows while showcasing the strength of the compositions themselves.

Here’s an SBD matrix from the band from December of 2008 with their new lineup. For any fans of progressive rock this is a must have for your collection.
