Squeaky Feet
Bo Hansen April 10, 2024Quirky, upbeat jam band accidentally goes prog and doesn’t shy away from getting weird “I have a theory that all band names are bad,” says Squeaky Feet guitarist/vocalist Colin Shore. “Once you’ve heard a name enough, you kind of trick yourself into thinking it sounds cool.

Rose Tiger
Bo Hansen February 25, 2024Rose Tiger is not an easy tiger to pin down. The glam trio’s debut album is a rock opera with prog leanings that could be described as a labour of love for its chief architect Cyprien Jacquet. //The End Forever// is a trashy, surrealist gesamtkunstwerk that incorporates manga and video games into its universe, as […]

Harp
Bo Hansen February 25, 2024The former Midlake man’s solo direction looks to medieval England and 80s music production for inspiration. The lone figure in a cloak holding an acoustic guitar on the cover of //Albion// might seem familiar.
