2014 going to be an exciting year!

by | Jan 7, 2014 | Uncategorized

I am really excited about 2014, as 2013 was one of the best years for prog. The proof is all around us, 2014 was one of the best years in modern memory for great prog releases. Facebook seems to be sprouting up more and more prog group pages, the sad thing is that all the pages seem to be the same seem to have the same old posts, really… how many times do we need to see a video post on Yes, Dream Theater or Rush just to name but a few. Don’t get me wrong, I love them but let’s move onward and upward so many great bands have risen because of these bands.

Loads of new internet radio stations seem to be popping up all around us, and Power of Prog is becoming a well established resource for bands to be discovered. Even our name is becoming well established I am seeing links to our site on bands web and facebook pages, even CD & DVD releases. We are honored that so many of you have made this site your home.

We are now into our 5th year with this site and over 1600 members strong, I would like to thank you all for making this the number one social network site specifically dedicated to one of the world’s best genres. Please keep posting great videos, adding great new music, and participating or creating Forum and Group pages. Post your news on our blog pages and keep those event pages loaded up.    

I have just made it even easier for you to find things by adding tab links to your favorite pages and is now visible on everyone’s page. If you have news like an upcoming album release etc; please feel free to send me the info and I will post it in our news section. In the coming weeks I will be updating the Directory’s, if you are a Band a Label, Radio Station or have a Magazine etc; and you do you not see your name listed please drop me a line and I will post that info…

Again thank you all for making 2013 a great year, looking forward to all this year has to offer.
Here’s wishing you all a great New Year.
Cheers Nick

Melodic Revolution Records is proud to announce this signing of US Neo Prog band 41Point9

by | Dec 19, 2013 | Uncategorized

41POINT9 signs a multi-album deal with Melodic Revolution Records which will include their sophomore release “Mr. Astute Trousers” due for release in 2014 as well as the reissue of their debut.  The band once again features Brian Cline (Vocals) Bob Madsen (Bass and Assorted Noises) and Kenny Steel (Guitars) and like their previous effort it will feature special guests.

41POINT9 was first sighted in 2010 when Bob Madsen was looking to assemble a top notch band to write and record some great music. The band is comprised by original vocalist and founding member of Enchant Brian Cline, Bassist Bob Madsen and Guitarist Kenny Steel.  The album is rounded out by special guests Nick D’Virgilio and Jimmy Keegan both whom have worked with Spock’s Beard.  Their debut “Still Looking For The Answers” was originally released in April 2011 via Prog Rock Records and featured 9 tracks and has now been reissued as a digital only release through Melodic Revolution Records

When asked about the new contract with Melodic Revolution Records, 41POINT band leader Bob Madsen responded, “Well I just wanted to let everyone know that Nick Katona stalked the band for several months in direct violation of a federal restraining order in order to get us to sign.  Finally we had no choice but to sign his contract…. otherwise those incriminating photos of Kenny Steel at a One Direction concert and Brian Cline at a Justin Beiber concert would be released to the public. Not to mention Bob Madsen’s audition tape for the Village People”
