But anyway their music is brilliant. I wish more prog bands were more traditional like this I'm soooo sick of the power prog metal it's so unoriginal now and dull.
These guys are awesome but I'd wish the singer got someone else on the keyboards and became a full time show man and just sing. They sound great but you gotta admit they're very boring to watch. He could be like Peter Gabriel. Also what's up with this band not doing visuals or not really being into it I mean isn't prog all about visuals along with music? At least I've always felt that way. U don't need 50 lazer lights and pyro everywhere look at Peter Gabirel when he was in Genesis!
When i'm listening to Beardfish or any other band, I don't think about that at all. Why concentrate on that anyway. I'd rather it not be like, "I like that band cos the front man is fun to watch." or whatever. To much of that goes on today anyway.
Prog music about visuals? No no no! Progressive Music is all about the music and the progression of it! Reason why so many prog bands rarely make music videos, and instead put out hour-and-a-half records! Visuals, in fact, tend to be a more pop music thing. However, I am not condemning the use of visuals, as it works well with Prog music (look at Pain of Salvation's BE), but most newer prog bands rarely achieve commercial success, and like Beardfish, don't have all the money in the world.
I think just the opposite...the keyb/singer should just play keys and them have no singer.
prog is not about visuals...it's about music only. The gabriel frontman drama acting crap is one of the few exceptions, and I did not like that either. who else in 70s prog did that acting crap? Sure some 70's style psych lighting is fine but I can do without frontman drama acting like gabriel.
I'm totally addicted to their new album. No reason for rehab I'd be happy if I overdose.

Yeah, this is good... But the song "Cashflow" is way better. It's by Beardfish, too.

My favorite song by Beardfish. It's so layered and.. perfect.

Anyone being like Peter Gabriel onstage in todays time would just be embarassing.
