Tea’s Up!

If we’re being bravely candid, there’s a raft of progressive acts who remain entwined and chained to the sole drive of recreating past progressive glories, content at trying to blindly recreate the wistful, unsurpassable highs that 70s acts such as Genesis or Pink Floyd achieved. That may be their prerogative but there’s often a sense that they’re wasting their talent in a dubious and futile attempt at replication.

At the other end of the spectrum are those contemporary bands that determinedly avoid such temptations, and whose music is decent enough but who are never destined to perform in venues larger than pubs. It’s rare, then, that a band will stumble forcibly into the genre who possess an internal, innovative artistic desire that makes them stand out from the cluster of wannabes.
