EBB for heavy prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   EBB (as in ebb and flow) are a 6-piece band based in Scotland. They stormed onto the prog scene in the UK in 2022/23 and have continued their upward trajectory since, becoming a firm favourite at the UK's biggest prog festivals.
Their music can vary so much as to be dramatic, eclectic, moody, quite heavy (but not metal), and tuneful. It's often filled out by the classic Hammond organ sound provided by Nikki Francis, who also plays wind instruments. However, despite this nod to the 1970s, their music is fresh, inventive and arty, with poetry and stories occasionally recited by Kitty Biscuits, who also provides backing vocals, and when on stage, glides around in slow motion, dancing with various props, playing percussion, and even blowing bubbles. The lead singer and lead guitarist is the charismatic Erin Bennett, whose voice can range from gentle to powerful but always in tune. The band's sound is completed by the drums of Anna Fraser, the synths of Suna Dasi and the sole guy, Bad Dog on bass.

After releasing their first EP in 2019, their debut album "Mad and Killing Time" was released in late 2022, with an accompanying EP to follow at the beginning of 2024.

More information about EBB can be found at their website Official Website of Art/Prog/Rockers, EBB (ebbband.com), and their music can be heard at Music | Ebb (bandcamp.com). It is hard to categorise them but I'd say heavy prog would fit the majority of their musical style.
