Is this CD progressive rock? I don’t know for sure. I think it’s not that different from the music being released by a lot of modern prog rock bands. Of course, with a get in, get out three song EP, it’s kind of hard to tell. The music here is quite interesting, though and should please fans of modern prog while still appealing to those who like more pop oriented music. I look forward to hearing more from this group.

Track by Track Review
Awake
The musical motif here is like modern progressive rock. The vocals are female and rather like a cross between folk rock and prog. They power this song out in some cool directions as they continue.
Noah's Day
This rocks out a bit harder, but is quite similar in other ways to the first track. There’s an especially tasty guitar solo on this number.
Sweet Kisses This track is mellower and more intricate. It’s like a folky ballad.
