Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

Chris – City Of Light (2012)

On this, his 3rd solo album, we again meet a different side of the highly talented multi instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Christiaan Bruin. On his debut album he, in a proggified way, he leaned influences from 60’s with the most obvious being The Beatles and The Beach Boys. On the follow-up, Making Sense, we got much more of 70’s Genesis and 80’s IQ into the mix and now, with the new one we get a contemporary post prog sounding album (with a slight Genesis feel to it here and there). But…whatever style he fronts it has a distinct “Chris style” regarding the sound and compositions.

Glass Hammer – Perilous (2012)

When Yes added Jon Davison of Glass Hammer as its new lead singer, that didn’t mean the end of his prog band. In fact, Glass Hammer is at work on a new album between legs of the on-going Yes tour in support of 2011?s Fly From Here — with Davison again on vocals.Yes has even allowed Glass Hammer albums to be sold at its most recent string of concerts, which resume on July 19, 2012. Every album that Davison autographs is another potential new fan for the grass-roots American prog-rock outfit, which is subsidizing its own new recording.
