RPWL – A Show Beyond Man And Time

My first real introduction to the music of RPWL came this year with the release of the 2014 Wanted album (read why such a delay occurred HERE). So somewhat inspired by their latest studio release I backtracked to last year’s live…

The Twenty Committee – A Lifeblood Psalm

With the numerous annual progressive rock polls, now finalised for 2013, a serious contender for best newcomer may well have been The Twenty Committee. Somewhat overlooked methinks were this five piece, New Jersey based band, who in just a couple…

Andy Summers – Synaesthesia

Although I’m sure the name will be familiar to all, Andy Summers’ inclusion in a progressive rock website may raise a few eyebrows. Granted his work with The Police earned him his household name, however Andy Summers has had many…

ReGenesis – In For A Penny

The Fierce And The Dead – Spooky Action

The Fierce And The Dead (TFATD) first appeared in 2010 with the release of their debut EP, Part 1. This was followed up in 2011 by the wonderfully titled If It Carries On Like This We Are Moving To Morecambe.…

The John Irvine Band – Next Stop

Next Stop is the second release from The John Irvine Band and follows up their impressive debut Wait & See from 2011. As with their debut Next Stop is written and composed by John Irvine (guitar & keyboards) and features…

The Cosmic Remedy – The Cosmic Remedy

The Cosmic Remedy are relatively a new band tracing their origins back to early in 2012. Initially a solo project for Bogáti-Bokor Ákos (Yesterdays & Tabula Smaragdina), who decided to utilise some downtime from Yesterdays to work on material he had…

Might Could – Relics From The Wasteland

The aptly titled, second studio album, All Intertwined, was my first introduction to the all acoustic, instrumental quartet, Might Could. They followed this album up two years later by the equally impressive Wood Knot and as both albums enjoy regular…
