Greetinx , Nice people on Prog-Archives!!!

We are new Danish act TINKICKER ...
TinKicker has recorded 16 traks in classic rock opera manner. They take you
on a journey into the complex of problems of modern man. -!The Soliloquy Of
The Transparent Boy " is the brainchild of Herfort and Lindberg, and is the
duo's first self written, self recorded and self produced work. TinKicker
has labeled their sound "Pink Sabbath" as a "Tip of the Hat" to two of their
big sources of inspiration Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. Prog with Riffs!
Melodic and metallic, mellow and mean, !!

Pls. be welcome to check out our my space :

Thank you for your time,
TinKicker

Their music is technically very good and you can hear they've gained experience a lot.
I know THE MISSION quite well - I don't think there are many similarities.

The first song has a very catchy melody - and then suddenly the brakes to metal elements - interesting.
Black Sabbath similiarities are evident - Pink Floyd? I don't know.
I would categorize it as Heavy Prog.

Yes, I answered the band and sent them the link to this thread - this is the reply

Thanx! 
 
Yes! Tinkicker is unsigned under this monicker!! we have some other official releases under other names!!! and other styles. This is our first attempt in prog.
Again thank you for your help
Regards
TinKicker


BTW - Angelo - I made a mistake with the band name - sorry - it's Tinkicker

Tower Of Strength? Deliverance? ::shrug:: I kind of get what you mean - like Wayne Hussey sings Classic Rock

 

Anyway - Interesting, nice old-school sound, if a little light on the actual Prog content it's certainly Prog in spirit.

Greetinx from Tinkicker,

Yeah - welcome to the forum TinKicker - and let us know about new additions to your myspace account 

Guess it's high time to congratulate you guys for getting signed now...got the promo from MALS a couple of weeks ago ;-)

Greetinx ! Prog'ies 

I've got a promo CD from MALS records too, and found TINKICKER to be indeed a mixture of PINK FLOYD and BLACK SABBATH, as they claim on their MySpace page...but to my ears, it's both 80s FLOYD/SABBATH, not 70s ones . I mean, it's nice music, it may be a pleasure for any classic rock/art rock fan to listen from time to time, but it's mostly Prog-Related/Crossover Prog - IN MY BOOK, I insist That's why I wasn't sure to propose the band for inclusion, despite the fact that I've listened to this CD three or four months ago

But c'mon, some riffs were pretty stoney
