Out on prog’s fringe, this Athens, Greece quartet have appeared, peddling perky Jellyfish and Teenage Fanclub-shaped guitar pop, peppered with nubs of complexity in the mode of Swedish artrockers Komedia. They’re at their best when hitting their Nazz/’Oo fuzzed-out mod-pop stride (This Feeling), but also have a crack at the explorative psych-soul of White Denim (Out Of Sight/Ago).

Jo is a journalist, podcaster, event host and music industry lecturer who joined Kerrang! in 1999 and then the dark side – Prog – a decade later as Deputy Editor. Jo's had tea with Robert Fripp, touched Ian Anderson's favourite flute (!) and asked Suzi Quatro what one wears under a leather catsuit. Jo is now Associate Editor of Prog, and a regular contributor to Classic Rock. She continues to spread the experimental and psychedelic music-based word amid unsuspecting students at BIMM Institute London and can be occasionally heard polluting the BBC Radio airwaves as a pop and rock pundit. Steven Wilson still owes her £3, which he borrowed to pay for parking before a King Crimson show in Aylesbury.
