James LaBrie has been fronting Dream Theater for over 30 years now, which means he is toured with and heard extra bands than he can in all probability even rely. So who does he really feel finest represents the style shifting into the long run? LaBrie named Architects and Periphery as his two picks in an interview with Revolver.
“I feel Architects are doing nicely. My son turned me onto them, after which they performed a pair reveals with [Dream Theater]. They went out and did a few reveals over in Europe with us. They have been all followers, they usually’re like, ‘Hey guys, we hearken to you.’ However I imply, we get that so much. Once we’re out, they’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, man. I grew up,’ and I am like, ‘Fuck you. How outdated have been you? 5 years outdated once you began listening?’ In any case, I like the manufacturing of their albums. I feel it is superior. It is simply so nicely thought-out.
“I might say Periphery, too. I like these guys. Wonderful musicians. I like every thing they put out. It is simply nicely thought-out, and it is an ideal illustration of musicianship however on the similar time, songsmith. I am not essentially at all times listening to metallic music. Imagine it or not, I will hearken to Younger the Big or OneRepublic, and even hearken to Coldplay and U2‘s newest [albums]. So I really purposely get away from perhaps what it’s that [Dream Theater] signify, with the metallic and the progressiveness.
“However sometimes, I will hear a band and say, ‘Wow, that is clever. That is nicely thought-of, and good for them. And hopefully they are going to be round for some time.’ And if [Periphery] preserve writing like that, I can not see why they would not.”
