Classic instrumental prog rock with Rickenbacker bass, virtuoso live drumming guitar harmonies, and lots of guitars and synths.

Artist picture
Prog rock with a classic, melodic sound reminiscent of Yes, Genesis, Kansas, Rush. A duo consisting of Jim Kube on drums and percussion and Rob Wessel on guitar
The band was formed to record original progressive rock songs. It's a style that I don't think really achieved its potential in the 70's, before many of the bands who played it either disbanded or started recording pop hits. It has enjoyed a resurgence in the last 20 years, and the variety of brilliant music that has been recorded and performed in those years only proves that we may never exhaust all the musical possibilities the genre offers. Admittedly, my songs don't stray too far into uncharted waters, with nods to a lot of my favorite old bands, and a melodic, sometimes pastoral sound, rather than the dissonant or atonal sounds preferred by some prog bands. Nothing wrong with atonal, but melodic is usually more my writing style. I'm excited to be reworking a handful of songs I wrote many years ago, adding live drums and rerecording the other parts. Live drums do so much for a song. I also look forward to collaborating with many of the talented musicians and vocalists I know on upcoming songs. Scheduling sessions with other people can be difficult because they all have other priorities demanding their time, but I hope to get a number of talented folks up to my studio for sessions as I record these songs.
