Personally, we think we sound exactly like Land of Chocolate.
"...Time to break free from this mold..." Land of Chocolate - The Pursuit of Happiness
Breaking away from musical conventions is nothing new for Land of Chocolate, the modern progressive rock quartet from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, whose critically acclaimed debut album (2001's "Unikorn on the Cob") immediately separated the band from the glut of today's paint-by-numbers acts that litter the airwaves. While the continual homogenization of the musical mainstream forces true lovers to question whether innovative music still exists, one needs to go no further than Land of Chocolate to realize that integrity still exists within today's musical landscape.
With virtuosic playing and sharply-crafted tunes that both challenge the ear and stimulate the mind, Land of Chocolate juxtaposes a level of musical mayhem with a strong ear for melody, theme and variation, and flat-out catchy hooks. It is a combination that leaves the average listener wondering what hit them, yet challenges the seasoned rock junkie to keep coming back for more. Throw on gymnastic three-part vocal harmonies overtop interweaving guitar and keyboard lines, and a sturdy yet tenacious rhythm section, and this is music that will certainly make your mouth water.
2004 saw the release of LOC's hyperactive yet mature sophomore effort, "Regaining the Feel", an album that not only solidified the band's reputation as a risk-taking, no-holds-barred unit, but also showed increased depth and maturity, firmly displaying the band's growth both in sound and scope and solidifying their reputation as an innovator within the industry.
The evolution continues today, as Land of Chocolate is currently putting the finishing touches on their third release - "Your Finest Hour", the band's most cohesive and mature work yet.

Hi jim rose here.yes im the geico caveman in the commercials.ive been asked about that alot latelyso i might as well admit it .now you have something to tease me about sometime when we see each other.

The state-of-the-art poligrafic device which we keep moving from one secret hideaway to another in order to foil the unspeakable forces that are endeavouring to put their disgustingly acquisitive hands on it so that no one in the whole wide world can know their true intentions and reveal the details of their ignominious plot to influence the lives of the multitude still indicates that while bankers, stock-exchangists, and fundamental-materialists are having ongoing and increasing trouble at keeping faith in their respective belief systems and must rely on the good hard working people to subsidize them when they not squarely bail them out, one thing remains constant : you can trust music to lift you up.
And guess what ? We happen to have music on our profile ! Which is just an almost effortless click away ! I mean, I know what I would do if I were in your shoes...
And while I have your attention, allow me to add that we are gathering funds to record our first album. You're invited to support us by pre-ordering at http://poligraf. wordpress. com/. Help us rock this world a little freer from the limitations of conventional thinking ! ;o)
Any help in getting the word out is deeply appreciated !
