Club Soda's front doors will open on Aug. 21, and by the time they close on Aug. 23, Montreal will have hosted the closest thing progressive metal has to a homecoming. ProgStorm Festival returns for a second edition this month, and it's not creeping back quietly. It's coming back with a headliner who hasn't played

Squeeze plays Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on Aug. 31, then Detroit's Masonic Temple on Sept. 27, with new wave icon Adam Ant and Britpop veterans Haircut 100 along for the ride.
