Dear Friends at Prog Archives. It's an honor to join this community. I've known this website since I was a kid :) I'd like to share with everyone an album that I've worked on for years, which just came out a couple of days ago! This album is called 8Ball City and it's a concept album, with many influences - the main ones being GG, Yes, ELP and tons of Jazz and Classical.  album cover by Chritsopher Morschler Please enjoy these two music videos: Thank you very much, If interested, you could listen/purchase the album here: https://kennermusic.bandcamp.com/album/8ball-city" rel="nofollow - https://kennermusic.bandcamp.com/album/8ball-city |

| Sounds good. At first I thought maybe it was too Gentle Giantish for my taste(not that I don't like GG because I do but I tend to not like bands who sound too close to the band(or bands)they are influenced by. While the keys in particular do sound very GGish as I listened it became clear you are your own band and are doing your own thing despite some passing similarities which you could say about a lot of bands. Also, interesting that you seem to be entirely instrumental. Instrumental bands often tend to end up sounding like fusion but while you guys might have a little bit of that it is clearly pure prog imo. Good stuff though and good luck. |
