Show #99

Well this is it, the last IPRS of 2011. But that doesn't mean there aren't more CDs from 2011 that I've yet to play. In fact, there are still releases that I am eagerly awaiting, like the new Paul Cusick CD. Today's radio show was supposed to be a Christmas special, but with so many new releases this year, I just couldn't pass up playing some more of them.

The IPRS will return around the 16th of January 2012 with new music and interviews. Don't forget to send me your Top 10 of 2011 via e-mail (progrockshow(at)hotmail.com). Or, you can go to the IPRS Facebook page, ask to be made a member of the group, and add your list to the one already there. You've have until the middle of January to be one of 4 winners to receive a free CD. So get cracking.

And too all of you, thank you for listening during this last year, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2012!!

The music came from the following bands:

Somewhere
Suite Omega (Dulce Sindrome, 2011)
Little Tragedies (Obsessed, 2011)
After... (No Attachments, 2011)
Helicopria (Helicopria, 2011)
