DONATE TO HOUSE OF PROG
LESOIR (NETHERLANDS) Babel
Finally, the moment has arrived to do a review of this band, having the previous 3 albums in my collection, and somehow not getting my thoughts down on paper (paper?) . This quintet has always possessed an original sound, mostly due to vocalist Maartje Meessen rather...
LOONYPARK (POLAND) Sad Songs for Upcoming Days
This crafty band from Krakow has just released its eighth album, which I am proud to report owning all of them, starting off with “Egoist” in 2008. Led by inexhaustible keyboardist, composer and producer Krzysztof Lepiarczyk, who has a few solo albums to his name as...
PRETTY SOILED COMPANY (FRANCE) same
This début album comes from veteran French Henri Vaugrand , whose crossover prog project Grandval yielded 3 releases that featured fellow multi-instrumentalist Olivier Bonneau , as well as members of the now retired Nemo band. The Covid period arguably reset many...
Factory of Art: Back To Life (2024)
German power metal outfit Factory Of Art broke up at some point after the second album with their last gig being in 2006, but in 2019 they decided to get back together as a mix of musicians who had been in the band previously along with both lead singers, with the...
Drugs of Faith: Asymmetrical (2025)

Skyhooks: Living in the 70’s [2024 Remaster] (1974)
Back in 1978 I was in my local record store and was intrigued by a single by an Australian band I had never heard of, Skyhooks. The single was “Women In Uniform” and I soon returned to the store to buy the album it came from, ‘Guilty Until Proven Insane’. It was a few...
Brian Kingsland: Translation (2025)
I must confess to not playing nearly as much classical music as I should, while I have very few classical guitar albums in my collection, and given just how much I have enjoyed this I can see I need to rethink this as what we have here is a delight from beginning to...
And Did Those Feet: I Am God Of Einstein (2025)
Not only is this the first time I have come across the band And Did Those Feet (although this is their sixth album), but it is also the first time I have come across RNR Records who are an offshoot of the wonderful RnR Magazine (30 years ago I used to write for it...

by Darren Walker on September 30, 2026 at 4:00 pmGrimsthorpe Castle, Bourne Thursday, 3 September 2026 Introduction… Before I set off to the Nene Valley Rock Festival I began to think of all the music festivals that there are held each year, be they Prog, tribute acts or pop.…
- Various Artists – We Are The Beautiful: Two Decades Of Shoegaze 1991-2011by John Giordano on September 29, 2026 at 4:00 pm
As mentioned in another recent review, I’m particularly fond of box sets that cover a scene as opposed to an artist. Because my familiarity with shoegaze is spotty at best, I thought that the We Are The Beautiful compilation would…
- Celeste – Prince Of One Dayby Basil Francis on September 28, 2026 at 4:00 pm
The progressive scene in Italy took slightly longer to catch on than it did in the UK, with PFM and Banco’s stunning debuts and sophomores only showing up in 1972, by the time Yes and many other British groups had…
