Gagliarchives Tonight and #11!
From gagliarchives.com… “…we kick things off with new music from 7d Media and the incredible Chicago based Warr guitarist Jason Blake and his new offering titled Subsequent Ruins that moved up five spots in the WEEKLYTOP20 to number eleven. This new album features radio program favorite & mainstay in drummer Marco Minnemann. Jason also revealed that work has begun on the next Aziola Cry release that will follow up the amazing 2021 release titled The Ironic Divide that was the number twenty eight album from The Global Progressive Rock Network's Top 100 Of 2021 from the Sensory Records label, an imprint of The Laser’s Edge label. Jason will be joining us in the up and coming weeks as well.”
