The press release below pretty much says it all, but if it’s even a little bit of interest, the reason I’m posting the below callout for bands to submit for the next Progstravaganza compilation is I believe in what they’re doing and anyone willing to put in the time to coordinate compilations 13 times over — even digital ones — has nothing left to prove as far as dedication goes. You can also download the 79-track Progstravaganza I-IX compilation of compilations for free via the Bandcamp link below.

With cuts from Sula Bassana, Siena Root, Astra, The Re-Stoned, Mars Red Sky, Ponamero Sundown, Temple of the Smoke and tons more, it’s worth your time. Dig in:
