About your native progressive rock bands

I just got their album, it's great. You can check them out on MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/taliesinband A bit of fun trivia - Their guitarist (Richard Moseley) is my friend's guitar teacher, and thats how I got onto them in the first place.Taliesin's MySpace!

Well... I know some of the 70´s stuff from here like Wigwam, Haikara, Tasavallan presidentti and Pekka Pohjola. As well as some newer bands like Kingston Wall. I love all 3 of their albums. Cmx and Nightfishthose two I don´t like that much... or should I say I cannot stand them and that they are part of the reason why for a long time i didn´t think too highly of Finnish music.

Anyways... Should anyone here know any newer finnish prog acts I´d like to know.

Canada:

Rush + Saga

Quebec: (better than all the rest of Canada together)

Sloche, Opus 5, Harmonium, Et Cetera, Maneige, Octobre, Morse Code. (much more, but these are my favs!)

I have pride in my native music, and love it all... (Sloche is quite possibly the single most underrated band on progarchives...)

And welcome to the forum, it's nice to have another Finn

Tervetuloa! No, I'm not a Finn, but lived in your country for almost 6 years, and still remember the language reasonably well.

Anyway, I've recently reviewed a couple of relatively new Finnish bands, though belonging to different subgenres, and liked them both: Kosmos (Prog-Folk, sharing some members with Viima) and Kumina.org (keyboard-oriented jazz-rock. The two reviews should be published at the end of the week, and I'll be glad to send you both links - I speak very highly of Finnish music in both of them!

I don't know of any Prog bands from Dayton... frankly, I don't know any bands around here. We did have the Ohio Players and Bootsy Collins (Cincinatti) in the 70's though... does that count?

Yeah, I just noticed it a moment ago  Well, welcome to the active member group, hopefully

Sweden: a lot of bands

Unfortunately, I'm familiar with very few of them

I come from Northern Ireland and there are no prog bands at all.
