SONIC BRIEFS: Progressive Rock Independent Artists You MUST Check Out
![](https://www.sonicperspectives.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Sonic-Briefs-Vol-IV.jpg)
The sign of a healthy musical genre lies in the consistent quality of its album releases. Usually we would look to the top releases of each genre’s esteemed record labels but when independent albums match or exceed those of the official labels, something special must be happening. Indeed, progressive rock is blessed with inspired artists who embrace a DIY approach, bringing their music directly to their audience. But getting the word out can be challenging, so we hope these Sonic Briefs inspire you to check out the latest batch of independent marvels. Dave Brons - 'Return to Arda' Residing somewhere
