Aisles are a six-piece prog rock band originally from Santiago, Chile.
The group was formed in 2001 by brothers Germán (guitar) and Luis
Vergara (keyboards), and childhood friend Rodrigo Sepúlveda (guitar).
Later on, it expanded to include lead singer Sebastián Vergara and
Alejandro Meléndez (keyboards). Drummer Felipe Candia and bassist Daniel
Baird-Kerr joined the band in 2007 and 2011 respectively.
The
band has often been praised by its eclectic style, combining elements
of rock, progressive rock, fusion, and Latin music, among others. They
have toured South America, North America and Europe, and have
participated in prestigious prog-rock festivals. Their albums have been
published in Europe, United States, and Japan, and in 2009 they were
nominated for Best Foreign Record in the Prog Awards for their second
album, In Sudden Walks.
The band's third album 4:45am is scheduled for release in October, 2013.
