The Prog Rock Block

When recording, I accidentally had the input on the wrong device, so our voices weren’t recorded. We decided to just run with it and play only music, and just chat a bit at the end of it all. All songs played this time around were over 12 minutes, so enjoy some epics! Setlist • Awaken - Yes • Infinite Fire - Flying Colors • The Necromancer - Rush • The Great Debate - Dream Theater

We are changing the servers in the very near future. I think the transition will be fine and everyone will get their proggy goodness with no effort. However if there are problems we will post on Facebook and Twitter on how to find us. I imagine you’ll just have to research iTunes for us and re add a new feed. But hopefully none of that will be necessary! Feel free to email us at progrockblock@gmail.com if you have any questions. Alec
