I like this band.  They make great use of the wah guitar, kind of in the way Porcupine Tree does on songs like Shesmovedon.  The second track on the Myspace, Lettera d'Amore, is just a wonderful song that's groovy and just an all around great song!  It really is very good, and so are many of the other ones.  This is a great band for people who like groovy bass lines mixed with guitars with nice tonal color. 

Their music is pretty simple, but it's very groovy and enjoyable, I'd highly recommend it.  They only have a demo out, so I'll keep up with them to see when they make an official release.

I'm with you on this one, Dan. It may be a bit too simple and too little prog at times, but definitely a great hearing. Good music is not necessarily prog, and vice versa. Keep an eye on them!

good music...  but based on the samples...  not enough on the prog side to probably get in.. but if they become official. .send them by Xover anyway... never hurts to try.  Maybe Dean might hear something I miss....

ya, I'd agree.  Simple music (not prog enough really) but still very good music.

very good music... hard to judge 'prog worthiness' on just a couple of songs.  Dean made the excellent point one time  that many of these groups will put the most ... easy to digest ... songs on the myspace as to catch one's attention.  But all we have ...is what we are given I guess.

The singer's definitely styled himself on Steve Hogwarts Hogarth - when they get a full release, worth considering for addition somewhere.
What?
