Biography

1) Pendragon are an English progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire as “Zeus Pendragon” by guitarist Nick Barrett. The “Zeus” was dropped before the band started recording.

There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained relatively stable. Long standing drummer Fudge Smith being replaced by Joe Crabtree who has subsequently been replaced by Scott Higham who brings high energy along with a huge beaming smile!

The band is still active as of 2012. Their music is characterised by Barrett’s virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if unique, vocal performances.

On October 1st 2008 the band released the album Pure. This album features their heaviest songs as of yet, being influenced by the newer Porcupine Tree.

    RECENZJA http://lamuzi.blogspot.com/2013/01/probowkowe-recenzje-moonrise-stopover.html Polska scena rocka progresywnego ma się coraz lepiej a moja teza wcale nie jest temu bezpodstawna. Mamy na to świetny dowód w postaci niezwykłego zespołu Moonrise. „Stopover - Life” udowodniło wartość sztuki, którą formacja wyniosła ponad tandetną pospolitość. Czy najnowszego wydawnictwa tegoż zespołu można nie lubić? Pytanie retoryczne, bo czy którykolwiek z was nie lubi oddychać?

    Can someone explain to me why Pendragon has become my favourite band since August last year, but no other neo-prog bands seem to do it for me? Have I just missed the other really good ones? I've listened to some of Arena's albums, and a few songs from other bands (don't remember which ones), but it's only Pendragon that really really works for me. Do please recommend me good albums (not single songs) from other neo-prog bands.
