TILES Guitarist Hits The Road To Promote Fly Paper





Michigan-based prog-metallers TILES are gearing up for the release of their new album, Fly Paper. Guitarist Chris Herin was in Paris, France toward the end of November and conducted a day of interviews with the French press: "It was great to finally meet up with so many of the French journalists who have supported us over the years," says Herin. "They had to battle a transit strike, limited parking and some rather unpleasant weather to get the my hotel - everyone asked interesting and demanding questions and kept me on my toes."
