1) Autumn is a rock band from Groningen, Netherlands. The band was formed in 1995 and quickly became an important component of the blossoming Dutch gothic metal scene. Their debut album “When Lust Evokes the Curse” (2002) put Autumn on the map besides genre mates Within Temptation and After Forever. The band performed at festivals like Dynamo, Lowlands, Waldrock, Fields Of Rock, Metal Female Voices Fest, Summerbreeze, M’Era Luna and Wacken. In addition, Autumn supported bands like Cradle Of Filth and Within Temptation on national and international tours, and did numerous headline tours in The Netherlands. Their second album “Summer’s End” (2004), demonstrated a more mature Autumn that - slowly but surely - managed to escape the confines of gothic rock.
With “My New Time” (2007) Autumn doesn’t renounce its past, but does travel a new course with a strong mentality and ditto sound. With a huge dose of confidence, high quality songs and a superior line-up, a bright future lies ahead of them.
Winter 2009 heralds the return of Dutch heavy rock collective with a new intense and diverse album: Altitude. In many ways, this album is a logical progression from 2007’s highly acclaimed album, My New Time. It does present one surprising change: one of voice. Rising star, Marjan Welman, has taken over vocal duties from Nienke de Jong.
Dutch heavy rock collective Autumn make a return to the front line November 2011 with their new album, Cold Comfort. This is the band's fifth full-length effort, their third for Metal Blade Records. It offers a collection of striking songs blended into a diverse and yet surprisingly compact album, one that Autumn considers to be their most personal and meaningful to date. With a strong and solid lineup, the band thrives on the wealth of experiences drawn from recording and touring during the campaign for the previous album, Altitude. It inspired the six musicians to focus on further enriching and expanding both their songwriting and sound for Cold Comfort.
While Autumn's roots remain firmly planted in heavy rock/guitar-oriented soil, their branches are stretching out to more progressive musical genres and alternative approaches to the sound of individual songs. Guitarist Jens van der Valk elaborates: "In terms of sound we realized there were still leaps to be taken out of our comfort zone and into unthought-of possibilities. As a first step in the right direction, our main focus was on a more open, transparent sound, one through which the often multi-layered nature of our songs would be optimally channeled."
Autumn needed not look far for a man to put at the helm with the right pioneering philosophy for the band to begin taking leaps: Erik-Jan Dodd, Autumn's live sound engineer since the My New Time era, envisioned a more vintage approach for Cold Comfort. An experiment the band was all too eager to embrace, explains guitarist Mats van der Valk. "If there's anyone who knows what we're all about and more importantly: what we could potentially be all about, it's E-J."
D&T Audioproductions (run by Dodd and Cees Thomassen in the bowels of Tilburg's renowned 013 club) was temporarily turned into a home for a large collection of vintage amps and equipment, as well as the band's tried and tested gear. The producer duo set about doing things in a genre-a-typical fashion, lifting particular highlights out of the mix that would conventionally remain more embedded in a wall of sound, and opting for very dry or harsh sounds to paradoxically create more warmth and openness in the sound palette of some songs. Jens adds: "On occasion it felt like tearing things out of balance in order to create balance. I must admit we were a bit apprehensive at times, but persistently maintaining course resulted in songs with a stronger and more exciting character than we'd envisioned."
Working in an environment promoting creativity and thinking outside the box also paved the way for a bolder approach to recording the music itself: one where striving for perfection took a step back in favor of pure, raw emotion and impact. Mats adds on the process this time around, "In past recordings, we'd often run through a song until every note was as well-executed as possible, often discarding takes with a lot more emotion or groove than the ones that made the albums, but with little glitches in playing or singing we couldn't live with at the time. Recording Cold Comfort, we finally felt so, well, comfortable that if a take had the right power and feel, it would be a keeper, regardless of the way it was played." Some final takes on the album are, in fact, the initial rough sketches, played on rusty old strings and the drums were recorded with one of the cymbals cracked but sounding just 'right' in the mix.
Singer Marjan Welman was given an even more pivotal role for Cold Comfort than for its predecessor. Shewas at the heart of the creation of many of the songs. Mats recalls: "Marjan's phenomenal hearing, commitment and ability to practically copy great take after great take was amazing to witness and very inspiring. We always knew she would make a huge step forward compared to "Altitude", since she had only been in the band for a short time before that album was recorded. But we never expected her to thrive quite like she did!" It's Welman's vocal finesses that emphasize the unique character of each individual song, while at the same time the warmth and ease of her voice act to blend all these different characters into one powerful album.
A curious contrast emerges when the lyrics for Cold Comfortcome into play: whereas the music for the album was created from such positive and progressive forces, the lyrics seem to reflect a more negative, contemplative nature of the band, choosing a distinctly murkier path than the preceding albums. There are fewer positive twists to the stories and the unanswered questions and open endings so prevalent in Autumn's lyrics this time don't bode as well for things to come. A theme most lyrics on Cold Comfort seem to have in common: living through difficult times and thereafter reluctantly having to find a way forward into an uncertain and sometimes unwelcome future. Not so for Autumn's latest effort. An album all about rising up to challenges set and standing out from the crowd, Cold Comfort embraces the future andis poised to take on anything any adjacent genre can throw at it.

2) Autumn is primarily a two-piece outfit released countless underground cassette tapes documenting their pioneering and experimental synth work for five years throughout the early 1980s, many of which have only seen the light of day due to recent CD-r releases via collective label Micrart. Just before retiring the name to persue other projects, Autumn would record their own soundtrack to Fritz Lang's silent classic Metropolis, which was occasionally performed alongside screening's of the film before an 'official' score was made available.

Its aim is synthesis of the arts by combining music, fine arts and literature using avant-garde, traditional and classical elements of various cultural complexes. The group is formed by very different individuals whose individuality is flowing into the entirety of Autumn. A paradoxical polarity is the guideline of the conception, filled with subliminal inconsistencies reflection is always omnipresent as a central motive. The results are soundscapes completed with lyrical vocals, spoken words and visualizations – music and art performances, exhibitions as well as audio/visual concept releases under the motto "music for inner films".

5) Autumn is a gothic rock band from Minneapolis, MN, United States. Heavily influenced by deathrock bands such as Christian Death with the soaring and dramatic yet often sinister vocals of Julie Plante and driving guitar and drum beats typical of this style of music, although they also have some slower, more ethereal songs.

They released two 7" EPs, a CDEP released off by a subsidiary division of Revelation Records and were on a few compilation albums. Prior to becoming Autumn, they were named Forethought who also released a 7". Without question they were early pioneers of what's known today as screamo due to the vocals style. Musically, the style wasn't as emo as it was more melodic hardcore.

11) Autumn was a indie rock band from Southern England, UK. They released an EP titled "Bearskins" in 1999. Featuring Mathew Snelling on vocals and guitar.
-----
14) One of the underrated bands of the 70s, based in Sydney (1969-1977). The first single was released on the company «EMI». Dictate producers pushing musicians to the style of “bubblegum”, that, though, and contributed to the commercial success, labeled as ‘popular’ group. After changing the label bias began to level off; huge success brought a cover of the song «Christie» British - «Yellow River». In total, the new location has been released 4 singles, firm yet not decided to issue a debut LP «Song To Raymondo» (1971), which consisted of a hodgepodge of old singles and fresh songs, pointing to the growing potential of the musicians. In full it appeared on the second album - «Comes Autumn» (1971), which appeared already in the giant «Warner Bros» … In 1972, during a trip to the UK, participants quarreled violently, though officially about was not announced decay. Three of them have created a team «Mecca», and then, having moved to Canada, joined the «Wireless». The vocalist and bassist, on the other hand, collected in 1976 in Sydney, the new composition of “Autumn”, but finally fled without releasing anything remarkable … Tony Romeril, who worked at one time in Italy under the pseudonym Andy Foxx, wrote material for a solo album, which did not out ……..
Like their contemporaries The Executives, The Affair, New Dream and Zoot, Sydney band Autumn has been unfairly labelled as a lightweight pop band, mainly on the basis of their early recordings. They’ve also been tagged as 'one-hit wonders’, although in fact they had four hits. Fronted by grievously underrated lead vocalist Tony Romeril, Autumn was a superb band with a strong following in their home city of Sydney, and they could tackle pop, country-rock and heavy/progressive rock with equal ease.
Like their close contemporaries The Flying Circus, Autumn formed at a time when rapid and significant changes were taking place in the music scene and the formerly homogeneous “pop” field was diversifying into several distinct genres. The trends that were drawing 'pop’ musicians towards progressive music, “heavy rock” and country rock was counterbalanced by the popularity and commercial success of so-called “bubblegum” pop. This created to a situation where, as Glennn A. Baker has observed, being identified as a pop band “drew automatic derision and critical dismissal”.
Autumn’s chart success with straight-ahead pop material has obscured the fact that this was a highly competent group, with tastes and abilities which went well beyond the confines of the three-minute formula pop single. Their true talents were not really showcased on record until their last few recordings for the Warner label) and as Glennn Baker notes “… nobody, save those who caught them live, came to realise what a sturdy, musically adept and diverse unit they were.”
In April 1971 guitarist Allan Marshall (ex Hot Cottage) replaced Greg Jacques and soon after this, Autumn joined Tamam Shud and Band of Light as one of the first batch of local acts to be signed by Warner Music (WEA), the newly established Australian subsidiary of the famous American record company. Their first Warner single, the country-styled “Falling” (b/w “Miracles” (May 1971) became their fourth hit, reaching #10 in Sydney. To promote it, Autumn made a successful tour to Melbourne, where they had previously had difficulty getting airplay, since (as noted above) both their earlier hits had been covered by Melbourne bands. Their next single, the progressively-styled “Goblin’s Gamble” / “Lady Anne” (July) and their last Warners single “Just Couldn’t Believe It”/ “Bye Bye to You” (September) both failed to chart, although they remained a popular live draw.
During the second half of 1971 Autumn released an EP A Patch Of Autumn followed by their hugely underrated second album Comes Autumn. Although it is dismissed by Vernon Joyson as “unremarkable”, it in fact contains some oustanding material. As Aussie music archivist “MidozTouch” has noted, Autumn’s second album is so strikingly different in style and sound from their first LP that one could be forgiven for thinking they were recorded by two different groups. The included re-recordings of some of their Chart material, including Allan Marshall’s riff-tastic psych-prog nugget “Get It Down” (one of several fine tracks he contributed), a re-recorded version of “Lady Anne”, and the country-styled hits “Falling” and “Miracles”. This excellent LP, which has never been reissued, is one of the genuine lost treasures of early 70s Australian rock. Like all the early '70s Australian Warner recordings, the original LP is now quite rare and has become a sought-after collector’s item.
Autumn added a new keyboard player and vocalist Charlie Wright (ex-Harry Young and Sabbath), at the end of the year but they broke up during an ill-fated trip to the UK in early 1972, splitting within just six weeks of their arrival. McMurray, Beatson and Marshall formed Mecca, which moved to Canada and after that group split they joined Canadian band Wireless. That group issued three Albums of bluesy hard rock, Wireless (1976), Positively Human, Relatively Sane (1979) and No Static (1980) on the Anthem label. Tony Romeril worked in Italy for some time, recording under the pseudonym Andy Foxx. Romeril and Graham re-formed Autumn briefly in Sydney during 1976, with a new line-up filled out by Dave Hallard (guitar), James Caulfield (keyboards) and Con Westaberg (drums), but this new version, which played only new material and none of the Autumn songs, quickly fizzled out.
Miles-ago…………
Although Autumn began as a bubblegum band in the late-60’s, the early-70’s found them, after various line-up changes, a markedly different band.
With lush harmonies, Beatlesque arrangements and a great batch of songs that ranged from breezy pop to progressive rock (as well as the the seven minute orchestral extravaganza: ‘Kill My World’), Comes… Autumn showed a mature and accomplished band that belied both their age and their beginnings.

Like all the early '70s Australian Warner recordings, the original LP is now quite rare and has become a sought-after collector’s item.
Autumn added a new keyboard player and vocalist Charlie Wright (ex-Harry Young and Sabbath), at the end of the year but they broke up during an ill-fated trip to the UK in early 1972, splitting within just six weeks of their arrival. McMurray, Beatson and Marshall formed Mecca, which moved to Canada and after that group split they joined Canadian band Wireless. That group issued three Albums of bluesy hard rock, Wireless (1976), Positively Human, Relatively Sane (1979) and No Static (1980) on the Anthem label. Tony Romeril worked in Italy for some time, recording under the pseudonym Andy Foxx. Romeril and Graham re-formed Autumn briefly in Sydney during 1976, with a new line-up filled out by Dave Hallard (guitar), James Caulfield (keyboards) and Con Westaberg (drums), but this new version, which played only new material and none of the Autumn songs, quickly fizzled out.
Miles-ago…………
Although Autumn began as a bubblegum band in the late-60’s, the early-70’s found them, after various line-up changes, a markedly different band.
With lush harmonies, Beatlesque arrangements and a great batch of songs that ranged from breezy pop to progressive rock (as well as the the seven minute orchestral extravaganza: ‘Kill My World’), Comes… Autumn showed a mature and accomplished band that belied both their age and their beginnings.
The Trip
Autumn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Great brick glass arches
My toungue and hips peeling
These swirls of tripped-out lightning
Titilate and frighten
And I feel
To be
In a strange daze
Wasted just like the old days
Anxious to curl up and crawl away
But then distracted by another face
Leads me to another place
And I feel
To be
In a strange daze
My toungue and hips peeling
These swirls of tripped-out lightning
Titilate and frighten
And I feel
To be
In a strange daze
Wasted just like the old days
But then distracted by another face
Leads me to another place
And I feel
To be
In a strange daze
In "Autumn's Song - The Trip," the lyrics are describing the experience of being on a drug-induced trip. The "great brick glass arches" could represent the buildings and structures that the person is seeing while under the influence. Their "tongue and hips peeling" could be a physical sensation as a result of the drug. The "swirls of tripped-out lightning" could represent distorted visual and sensory perceptions.
The person is both titillated and frightened by these sensations, describing feeling "to be in a strange daze." They feel wasted, as though they were back in their old drug-using days. The desire to curl up and escape is present, but they are distracted by another face that leads them to another place. This could represent the cyclical nature of addiction and relapse.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of the disorienting and intense experience of a drug trip, with hints at the struggles of addiction and the inability to fully escape its grip.

Great brick glass arches
Magnificent structures made of bricks and glass
My toungue and hips peeling
Feeling sensory overload or discomfort in my body
These swirls of tripped-out lightning
Visually trippy and intense sensations
Titilate and frighten
Excite and scare me at the same time
And I feel
Experiencing a feeling
To be
In a state
In a strange daze
In a weird, disorienting mental state
Wasted just like the old days
Reminiscing a time when I felt similarly out of control
Anxious to curl up and crawl away
Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to retreat from the situation
But then distracted by another face
Succumbing to a new, exciting distraction
Leads me to another place
Taking me to a different emotional or physical state
And I feel
Experiencing a feeling
To be
In a state
In a strange daze
In a weird, disorienting mental state

I am about to turn 75 years old, and this is literally the only thing on my bucket list. Since I can't see any way I'll be getting a way to get there, thank you for the trip into this incredibly beautiful country. It made me feel as if I had really made the trip myself. Simply perfect.

I’m only 24, and I’ve hardly been out of my home state of Iowa. I’d love to go somewhere like the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania, or the North Woods in Maine. I’d love to, but it’s a low likelihood. But this scenery and opportunities for hiking and fishing. I don’t want to miss out.

The crimson red streets, gloomy weather, slow music and a cup of black coffee. What else you need to enjoy fall. Hands down my favorite season.

Kyle, all of your videos are "outstanding". I'm 74 yrs old and I was born and raised in New Hampshire, but retired now on the coast of Oregon. This area of the great Northwest is breathtaking also, but New England will always have the "BEST" fall foilage ever. I can remember growing up & noticing that people from around the world would come to visit New England for the fall foilage. Your drone photography is phenomenal. My husband has one and the shots he gets flying over the coastline out here can take your breath away. You have the best U-tube channel & I'm addicted now. Contiunue doing what you do, you are an inspiration to all. Jacky : ) By the way, we have a son named Kyle & he's a commercial photograher.
