The band we're doing cover three types of rock; rock, progressive rock & alternative rock. So I this post will try and clarify each (sub) genre.
Rock has been around for years. Its derived from rock and blues, rhythm and blues and country music. The genre often includes the electric bass & guitar, drums and more recently, synthesizers and keyboard instruments.
Some examples:
Alternative rock submerged from rock in the 80's. It consists of various artists that belong to independent music companys, and have emerged from that scene. This is what The Croft (our chosen band) have done, being a home grown, underground and independent band creating their own form of rock.
Some examples:
Progressive rock, again submerged from rock, but in the 70's. "Progressive rock and art rock are two almost interchangeable terms describing a mostly British attempt to elevate rock music to new levels of artistic credibility." This claims that progressive rock is mostly british, so it wouldn't be unsuitable if The Croft were trying to achieve that look. Progressive rock tries to incorporate sounds that rock and alternative rock may not try to do, such as classical, jazz and world music.
