Thank you so much, Martin Dambeck and Empire Magazine (Germany), for this wonderful review of C.O.R.E. !!

Here is the entire review, translated and reprinted in full below:

“After two live releases, Circuline returns with C.O.R.E. another studio album.

Originally started as a prog rock cover band called Downing Gray, the prog ensemble Circuline emerged in 2014.

With the Americans the personnel carousel has turned. So are bassist Shelby Logan Warne (Kyros) and guitarist Dave Bainbridge (Iona) are new on board. As Joe Deninzon (Kansas) also plays the violin as a guest. From the original cast
are Andrew Colyer (keyboards, vocals), Darin Brannon (drums) and Natalie Brown (vocals).

Circuline play cleanly produced and extremely entertaining classically influenced prog Rock that sounds very modern at the same time.

Bainbridge on guitar in particular elevates the Circuline new level. He hits one fantastic guitar solo after another. The vocal passages in particular are sometimes reminiscent of Yes and the violin playing also gives off a slight Kansas feeling.

There are also sparkling to sacred keyboard runs over and over again dramatic arcs of tension in the individual songs. The beautiful thing is that the Americans, who, by the way, do a lot of bombast, always remain quite independent in all comparisons. C.O.R.E. is a fine prog pearl from the USA. Recommended!”

Empire Magazine and Martin – Thank you so much for these kind words.

Circuline Photos – Week 23, 2020


When Circuline transmuted from the progressive rock tribute band Downing Grey into an all-original band in 2014, one of the first things that founding members Bill Shannon, Darin Brannon, and Andrew Colyer did in the first few months was to head to the Rites of Spring Festival (RoSfest) in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  A great time was had by all, and we set our sights on returning to perform on that big beautiful stage with all of the other great acts that George Roldan has there every year.  We returned two years later, and Circuline’s 2016 performance is captured and documented in the live CD/DVD/Blu-ray “CircuLive::Majestik”.

Circuline Photos – Week 22, 2020


Circuline had its beginnings in the progressive rock tribute band, Downing Grey. We would cover nine bands per night, performing three hour concerts of YES, Genesis, ELP, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, UK, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, and Rush (the only non-British prog band). This picture of keyboardist Andrew Colyer and guitarist Bill Shannon is from May 2013, at a grueling DG rehearsal in Newburgh, New York…..
