The Eclectic Team will certainly have spotted this suggestion by now, but without even a very limited biography in the thread they are probably going to be reluctant to take it any further. Excellent band indeed, their second album being the proggier of the two for my money. Much of their material wouldn't be out of place in Heavy Prog, since it certainly rocks hard, but they do tend to mix up the genres a fair bit as well, so Eclectic is certainly worth a shot. They describe themselves as 'progressive funk', and there is a definite 70s feel to much of their music. They were originally formed as Daniel James' Brass Camel in late July 2017, and released an eleven-track self titled debut under that name in May 2018, before changing their name to Brass Camel in the summer of 2019. There have been several line up changes along the way.

^ Thanks, Kevin.  I've dug out a a fair bit of info from a bit of 'Googling' earlier this evening, so if all else fails I'll step up to the plate myself and put something together.Band leader Daniel Sveinson was actually born in Mount Barker, South Australia, has been performing to audiences since he was 10 years old and was the subject of the 2006 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary film "The Rock and Roll Kid", which was the stage name he used to perform under. He has played with some very well-respected musicians indeed over the years - including the great Les Paul - and formed a couple of other bands before launching Daniel James' Brass Camel in 2017: Sonic City, which ran from 2005 to 2007, and Mad Shadow which ran from 2007 until around 2014, and cut two albums in that time. |

Brass Camel's blend of progressive funk is intriguing! Their unique 70s influence adds depth to the Eclectic Prog genre. |
