TheMopCollective

The Mop Collective was formed at Canterbury Christ Church University in 2008 by guitarist, composer and artist Joe Inkpen with the purpose of bringing something fresh, ambitious and innovative to the ears of the masses. The Mop Collective present rich, intricate songs best described as Progressive, with comparisons being made to Prog Rock icons including King Crimson, Yes and Genesis as well as modern bands such as Oceansize, Radiohead and Porcupine Tree, as the style of The Mop flows effortlessly from graceful clean guitar arpeggios to epic rock choruses to bone-crunching metal riffs.

At present The Mop Collective are in the studio working on a forthcoming EP, featuring six songs from their extensive setlist, as well as promoting the recently completed Matilda, a concept album whose storyline is depicted in a series of artworks, and playing as many live shows as possible.

A second album currently being written will see The Mop expand to orchestral proportions, presenting a fourteen piece suite, set for completion and live dates in 2010.
