This week's Prog-Watch is another edition of Epix! But this time around I've done something a little different. The songs are all still 10 plus minutes in length, but this time there is more emphasis on the contemporary. Only one track comes from the 70s...the rest are from this century, with one from 2001, one from 2018, and two from this year. Tune in to hear great progressive sounds from Yes, The Watch, Ben Craven, All Traps on Earth, and Athak!
Anthony Rowsick (aka the Progsquatch) has been a fan of Progressive Rock for roughly 35 years. When the last of his four children moved out a few years ago he suddenly found himself with some things he had been lacking for many years – extra room in the house, spare time, and spare money! So he decided to invest in some computer recording software and an interface, moved all of his instruments and equipment into one of the kids’ old bedrooms, and began writing and recording his own music again. His friend Nelson W Pyles – the lyricist and vocalist in his recording project (called Novus) – is an author and podcaster and gave Tony the idea of doing his own podcast. Thus, Prog-Watch was born! When he is not working, listening to Prog Rock, or preparing shows, Tony likes to pick up heavy things and put them down. He also reads avidly and enjoys craft beer.
