Tiles Fly Paper

2008, As an integral part of a prog-rock wave that experienced its first commercial heyday some thirty years ago with acts such as Rush and Saga - and has found its most eminent contemporary representatives in Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree - Tiles from Detroit have been creating their own niche since 1993. Not only insiders consider the quartet surrounding guitarist and main songwriter Chris Herin as one of the most important acts at the interface
of progressive hard rock and deeply melodic numbers. Asked about their unmistakable fingerprint, Herin explains: "A cross between Rush, Jethro Tull, Queensryche and Iron Maiden," adding: "We tend to be a bit dark and thoughtful, sometimes moody."
