Hello, long time no see.

A new band from Seattle (WA) I've been listening to lately. At first, after few tracks I was sceptical, but as I've listened the entire album (and on repeated listens), it has grown on me.
Enough Prog, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, catchy rhythms.

As to where to suggest it, probably Xover, but I'm open to other genres too.

Here are 4 tracks they have on their webpages:

with first 2 being the strongest.

Band's own bio:
Quote Formed in 2014, Geppetto's Retribution has become known for its musicality and the lush arrangements it's four members create on stage. The band's debut album "There Will Be Justice" represents the culmination of almost 10 years of writing that began back when lead guitarist Daniel Neumeyer and drummer Lea Weber invited lead vocalist and guitarist Gary Stensland to join their band, Pinocchio's Rage. Laced with catchy melodies and backed by classic rock and funk roots, the album captures the high energy and creativity of the band's genesis. Moving beyond, their sound is becoming increasingly progressive. Whether inspired by unconventional compositions or bassist Ferdinand White's heavy metal influences, the band feels like they are finally coming into their own and are excited to enact more retribution.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Hey Marty! Good to see you back on here! Hug Hope you're OK.

Crossover sounds about the only sub that these guys might sneak into to me, but it's a damn fine rock album indeed, so many thanks for the heads up!

Oh yeah, I'm immortal, nothing seems to get me. I'm working now (4th year), no longer a student and travelling every third day on average, have a fancy new camera, Geocaching as a hobby...

So, thanks for asking and also for the links, they provide a full spectrum to show how Proggy they actually sound.

There's something in this band, otherwise it wouldn't attract my attention. Not so much (as in my early Prog days) do nowadays.

Hi guys. Good to see the old gang still together.
