I just discovered this one man band this afternoon, and I've only actually heard one song by him, but it was amazing.
He's one of those Harry Potter-inspired bands ("Wizard Rock"), and the song I've heard so far, "Open at the Close", is spectacular!!
If you're a fan of HP or if you just feel like checking out some good music, find the song
Here's a Deathly Hallows video (SPOILER WARNING) that uses the song It's an amazing video, too, so watch it!

Note: It is sad too But if you've read Deathly Hallows...you know how it all ends.

I love Wizard Rock. 8) I've never listened to Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls, however I am a big fan of Harry and the Potters, The Remus Lupins, and The Mudbloods. I shall most definitely watch the video you posted though. There really is some ace HP music out there, and I'm always looking for new bands to latch onto.

For Wizard Rock, that was actually pretty decent. Now, I've never been able to listen to Harry and the Potters and the rest of the lot with a straight face, but I can almost see this on my iPod.

I have to say, before I found this song, I had never listened to any Wizard Rock either. But this song is just plain amazing. It makes makes me cry and I didn't even cry at all in the 7th book!
However, when you combine the video AND the song...*sobs*...lol.

I've heard of the genre Wizard Rock but i've never listened to any.
but that was, by far, the best HP: DH video/song i've seen/heard.
i cried. then i called kellie. and she cried. then we watched it together. and we both cried.
i'm just one big sob story.
and yes. i did cry while reading the book. </3 i'm a mess.

Wow, how have you two avoided it so long? I have friends at school who have been to Wizard Rock concerts all over the country and constantly wear their t-shirts, listen to them, etc.
I can't say I was much moved by the video... If it had been all about Fred maybe I'd be saying something different. *Sniffle*

I'm with you, tim, I can't listen to Harry and the Potters with a straight face either, but I do appreciate the genre they started. I love Wizard rock! I'm trying to get my family to start a band. It amazes me, if I can say this without being too rude, how many really popular Wizard rock bands are completely devoid of any singing ability whatsoever! Like, they can't carry a tune in a bucket! There are some really great bands though. I'll try this video.
ETA-
Omigosh, I feel like such a sop, but it actually made me cry, too! I didn't expect that at all.
This is my new favorite band. They're fantastic!

@timx4 - Well, I've heard of Wizard Rock in general for a couple years now, but I've just never listened to it I didn't realize they have...concerts...of it though! LOL I guess I'm just really ignorant

Oh my, I've never heard anything that good in Wizard Rock!! Really, really high quality, this guy is. I really love the song "End of an Era." Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing Gilraen!
