Although the bandmembers are still young in age, theirs is certainly not an overnight success. “We’ve probably been going for about eight, nine […]

Final Coil

Pallbearer
Bo Hansen May 16, 2024Celebrated doyens of progressive doom metal, Pallbearer became legendary almost immediately. Their debut album, //Sorrow And Extinction//, emerged in 2012 to widespread acclaim, as this mysterious band from Little Rock, Arkansas, skilfully blended enormous, post-Sabbath riffing with strange, crestfallen melodies and several tons of haunting atmosphere. 12 years on, Pallbearer are certified legends in the […]

Large Plants
Bo Hansen April 10, 2024When Bedford band Wolf People crossed //Prog//’s threshold in 2010, it was like discovering a long-lost Vertigo classic, or finding that Jethro Tull had jammed with the Groundhogs.

The Beggs Sisters
Bo Hansen April 10, 2024Forming a band with your dad may not be on everyone’s to do list, but for siblings Willow and Lula Beggs, it seemed like a natural next step.
