Spock’s Beard play a brand of progressive rock with pop music leanings, drawing much influence from Genesis and TheBeatles.
They are also well known for their intricate multi-part vocal harmonies and use of counterpoint much in the vein ofGentle
Giant. They’ve released records like the acclaimed The Kindness of Strangers and V before releasing theepic
concept album Snow, which also marked the departure of leader and main composer Neal Morse for a solo career asa
Christian artist.
After the departure of Neal Morse, the frontman role was taken on by Nick D’Virgilio. The ‘new’ lineup has released four
morestudio albums: Feel Euphoria, Octane, Spock’s Beard and X.
The band is supported by drummer Jimmy Keegan on tour. This leads to drum duets/duels between him and Nick D’Virgilio
fromtime to time, which can be compared to Phil Collins and Chester Thompson at Genesis concerts. Here old drummer Collins
alsotook the lead singer role, after old singer Peter Gabriel left the band.
Spock's Beard will be coming out with a new studio album in March 2013 called Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep.
The band was named for the Star Trek episode “Mirror, Mirror,” where the crew enters a parallel universe in which the
parallelMr. Spock is differentiated by his beard. « hide |
