Albatross (Kent, OH/Geneva, PA) Described as a fusion of alt-rock energy, post-rock reflection and modern metal aggression, the band has created ambitious musical journeys intended to envelope the listener. Although rhythmic drive in the rock and metal tradition serves as a sturdy foundation for the band's sound, a striking blend of experimentation and melody is the key to the atmosphere and direction of the music as a whole. 6. Albatross (Frisco)'s first album "Blues Landing" hit #1 on the Amazon charts and in Canada. Songs from the album are used on MTV's reality shows "Made" and others.
