“We’re really onto something with Rain,” drummer Andy Edwards enthuses via Zoom. “I hope we’ll give prog a bit of a shot in the arm.”
That’s a bold statement, but Edwards is far from a naïve newcomer to the progressive rock scene. His musical CV documents stints drumming for prog stalwarts IQ and Frost* and, less proggy but most prominently, Robert Plant. And bassist John Jowitt is a bona fide prog veteran, who cut his progressive teeth way back in May 1975, seeing Gryphon support Yes at Stoke City football club.
