Auxford (RUS) -Crossover Prog

Let me introduce you my band “Auxford”. We are the prog rock band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

The group was founded in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, in 2007 by Vladislav Semyonov and Alexander Golenskiy. But at that moment it was just a garage band. The real activity began in 2013,  when Dmitry (drums), and then Yuriy (bass) joined Alexander and Vladislav . First concert as a prog-rock band  was given in February 2014.

On July 18^th we released our debute Album called “Reflection”.

It’s a somekind mixture of classic prog-rock and blues. I would say we take something from Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Alan Parsons Project, and even King Crimson and Black Sabbath. But we don’t play their music, we don’t make music like theirs’, we just play what we like and how we like. Our music is our feeling. 

We were making this album last three years. We are not professional musicians, but music is a part of our life. 

«Reflection» - is music for thinking, fantasy, mostly instrumental, with lyrics in Russian and English languages.

We are four: 

Vlad Semenov (me) – keys and vocals, 

Alexander Golenskiy- guitar, 

Yuriy Venchagov- bass, back-vocals, 

Dmitriy Stepanenko – drums.

About the name «Auxford». 

England gave the world a lot of rock bands that influenced our music: Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Alan Parsons Project, and even King Crimson and Black Sabbath. That’s why we wanted to bear the english name. 

At the same time homonym city Oxford attracts the best minds in the world because of it’s University. 

Therefore, an intelligent mix of art-rock and blues should be only from Auxford!

Vlad Semenov
