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.

Joint project between Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin and guitarist Jon Durant. The pair first worked together on Durant’s 2011 CD, Dance of the Shadow Planets, and were so enthused by the project that they undertook a new collaboration in 2012 which features Edwin’s liquid bass and compelling rhythm programming alongside Durant’s unique guitar melodies and textures, as well
PRIMITIVE INSTINCT are a band from the UK and have been around since the late 80s although in those days there were five members. They definitely have a sound that is all their ownIt is pleasant, mid-tempo progressive, only occasionally with a slight edge. The music is actually very melodic rock with lashing of vocal harmonies. They make solid rock music that conveys a lot of emotion and honesty.

Everything and nothing. From the classic rock and prog of the innovators (Yes, Genesis, Rush, Focus, Soft Machine, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Plackband, et al) to the contemporary torchbearers who keep the music alive (Spock’s Beard, Flower Kings, RPWL, Rocket Scientists, Dream Theater and many more). Add to that a dash of funk, soul, classical, jazz, a twist of blues, and an extreme splodge of general mayhem and insanity that Jim manages to excrete from the very core of his creative being… and you’ve kind of got it!

Formed in late 2008, Scythia is a mosaic of many influences that combines storytelling, costumes, and heavy music. But this isn’t just grindcore in medieval garb… Scythia weaves folklore with double kick, detuned guitars with neo-classical melodies and catchy riffs with classical oboe playing. It is a musical experience that stands apart from all others.
