Imagine yourself, for a moment, walking into a huge cathedral full of bright lights and glorious paintings of immaculate ideas telling the stories between heaven and hell. You look down at your feet and notice the floors patterns shifting underneath the shiny gloss. You look up at the ceiling and realize that its roof has risen off and the moon and stars and supernovas are all there with you on this psychedelic supernatural journey. Feelings of emotion sweep you away on this journey that you have no idea occurred until you realize that your music player had been playing 57 minutes of “Adventure-Rock”.
From the year 2005, A Utopian Skyline has been setting new standards for the original music scene in Central Pennsylvania in the studio and in the live experience. Mixing different genres and influences from jazz to indie-rock to experimental to tech-rock to psychedelic jam. Anything and Everything you can hear just about every band that you ever loved in this band. From melodic-driven choruses to syncopated rhythms, the music by itself puts you into another state of mind.
Brad Stackpole and Thomas Hand execute the unique cornerstone grooves that classify the band as one of tightest and tasteful rhythm sections to walk the face of the planet. Teague Quinn slays into the melodic driven leads and harmonies fashioning a 7-string. Meanwhile, guitarist/lead singer Aaron Miller sets the mood of the band with the machine-like pedal board and his somewhat Barrett-style of soloing and experimentalism all while singing his bleeding heart out. All these things combined together with some improvisation and well-rehearsed clockworks, you find yourself A Utopian Skyline.
“They’re a metal band for people who don’t like metal; a hardcore band for people who are scared of hardcore; and a prog-rock band for people who would rather drink toilet water than listen to Rush. They are proof that art, angst and amplification are not mutually exclusive concepts.” – Jeff Royer ; Fly Magazine
”Fans of intelligent and imaginative rock should find A Utopian Skyline’s “Elmamoore” a cerebral work of wonder. Like abstract art, this album leaves open ends, and will have listeners pondering and interpreting the meanings and purposes of its creators.” – Jim Price ; PA Musician
In August of 2006, the band released a 14-track concept album, entitled “Elmamoore”, which later won “Album of the Year” at the 2007 Doctor’s Office Awards. Many critics and producers, also quote “Elmamoore”, as the new standard for Central PA’s famed studio, Progressive Studios. A Utopian Skyline is proving to be much more than a local band these days with their reputation of great live shows and always bringing something new at each show. Finding new adventures at every turn. They are always a good time and a show you’ll never forget.

Hey A Utopian Skyline, Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. You breath as delicately as vapors flowing towards an attractive flame. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch.
