Progressive 2016

Riff Raff (1973). British progressive rock band's folk and jazz oriented debut album little bit similar to Igginbottom's Wrench. Featuring Tommy Eyre on keyboard who has been actively involved with numerous bands including The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Juicy Lucy and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
Original Man (1974). The second album released by Britain's Riff Raff was a further study in the textures of jazz-rock as they had been articulated not only on the band's issued debut, but also with Tommy Eyre and Pete Kirkley's stint with Mark-Almond. Here are seven rather extended forays into keyboard-drenched rock that carried a jazz sensibility in its beak and dropped it thoroughly onto blues-based progressive rock.

A UK rock combo Psychoyogi have been founded as an avantgarde/ jazz/Canterbury rock trio by Chris Ramsing (voices, guitar), Chris Sansom (bass), and Jonas Golland (drums, percussion) around 2010.
Psychoyogi's music is a diverse mixture of instrumental colours, melodies, and words. The songs present social and political critique alongside personal moments and moods. In the words of Mike O'Toole (Beat Magazine) "Their sound is unparalleled and cannot be categorised. It is a rejection of docile adherence to a single musical style".

Eden Shadow is a relatively new name on the UK and worldwide progressive rock scene. They have been around since 2011 and ever since then they released two singles, an EP and two full-length albums. Their newest release is a sophomore full-length album titled Melodies for Maladies. The trio based in Guildford features Ryan Mark Elliott on vocals, guitars and keyboards, Alex Broben on bass, and Aled Lloyd on drums. Their music blends elements of melancholy, the spirit of Nordic folk, and British progressive rock. All of this is true; throughout this record there is surely an omnipresent feeling of melancholy, which is mostly carried by the vocal harmonies and a variety of keyboards-related stuff.

Farmhouse Odyssey was formed by five college students in a small farmhouse in the fall of 2012 in Arcata, California.

Songs flow freely between moods and styles influenced by progressive rock, psychedelia, jazz, funk, and world music, while always retaining the distinct musical personality of the group. The group deftly executes their complex arrangements with skill and precision, never losing sight of the strong emotional undercurrent of each song…

It was followed in March by Havoc, their fourth album.

Lords Of Black, the band formed by World class singer Ronnie Romero, renowed guitarist Tony Hernando and monster drummer Andy C. is now not only the band who made one of the best debut albums in Metal in the last years, but the new sensation with a new album coming out Worldwide with Frontiers Records.

The Perfect Map is a third full-length studio album by Elephants Of Scotland, released June 17, 2016. Elephants of Scotland was formed in 2010 in Burlington, Vermont, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist and composer Adam Rabin, who took upon the challenge to start a progressive rock band in a place better known for jam bands and cows. After a year of writing and the usual growing pains, the core band settled in together with Ornan McLean on drums and percussion, Dan MacDonald on bass and vocals and John "Lefty" Whyte on guitars and vocals, with Adam on synthesizers and vocals.
