These guys use all the old style prog instruments but they don't really sound like a copy of the old bands. The style of songs are quite interesting and catchy prog rock tunes http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008 - http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008 |

Now this is indeed very much 70s influenced - and very well played. An interesting vision on their own music is presented on their MySpace page, and quoted below:
Oh - and their #1 friend on MySpace is our own Violin Cyndee.... I've contacted them on any possible album releases in the past or near future. Worth considering for symphonic, and maybe JR/F (but that requires some further listening). ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

I'm following the music that was called Progressive rock by the media
about 40 years ago. It's called Progressive rock, but I don't think the
style of music has to be inventive and break boundaries. It's really
jazz rock and it's exciting and that makes the songs progressive
because they stay interesting after many listens. I'm not following the
modern era which has been labelled progressive rock because it's not
usually the same style of music. Many of these new bands have taken the
Progressive label the wrong way and are trying to invent new styles of
guitar based music but so often the actual songs aren't exciting, so
they are not actually progressing. But there is some good stuff out
there. Mainly fusion based prog :)Posted By: micky

Jah, I asked them about the record label. Cannot find it on the web - if they're signed, they're all yours for the taking Micky.

Well, Micky, get your progger scooper out in about eight months from now - they're signed, but not released yet. Here's what I got back from them just now:

The songs Vigilante and Outerspace have been updated  . Midievil, Vigilante and Outerspace are brilliant songs if you listen in headphones closely a couple of times each. Some of the catchiest and smartest prog of today. There is no need to be overcomplex. These songs are perfect and never get boring

Vigilante will be proposed for inclusion as soon as their album starts taking real shape.

It's an unfinished version of the song Seasons. Has a bit of a fusion feel. Hope you like

With some big improvements to be made to 'Money Hungry' soon and a new song on it's way. Most of the songs will have vocals and I'm going to attempt to email a true prog genius (Richard Sinclair) to do some vocals hehe. I'm attempting the true style prog(70s style jazz/classical rock). Hopefully they are fun melodies with interesting bass lines, mildy clever and complex ideas
. Plenty of keys, guitar played in moderation, even contribution of instruments and good team work . Every now and then when I get bored, I try and think of 3 melodies and make a song. They are just instant thoughts which I only bother to think of when I'm in the mood to make a tune. They might sound a bit rushed and robotic but I'll add bits and pieces soon. Enjoy some old style prog/fusion. Btw, the word 'progressive' never enters my mind when listen to old prog. I don't believe in the word, I just believe song writing is the answer http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008 - http://www.myspace.com/vigilante2008 ------------- Jazz/Classical Rock(70's style prog/fusion).
