A Storm Called Progress is a live rendition of the studio album The Angel of History recorded in February 2021 in Belleville, New Jersey
A Storm Called Progress was a labor love for this band during an incredibly trying period of time.
It was our most honest attempt at bringing The Angel of History to life in a way that we felt would do it justice amid such challenging circumstances.
To all of those whose talents made this vision a reality for us both then and now, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
To all those who support this community of oddball music and give us a chance to pursue the things we love most, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
