A project formed in 2012 that blends intricate instrumental sections with shared vocal duties.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Blue Ocean' from the debut or 'Bombs Away' from their top tracks. Both show that blend of progressive rock ambition and vocal interplay.
When you've got Mike Portnoy on drums, Neal Morse on keyboards and vocals, Steve Morse on guitar, and Casey McPherson adding another vocal layer, you're getting something more deliberate than a typical supergroup. Their debut track 'Blue Ocean' from 2012 shows that interest in progressive structures and layered arrangements right from the start. They've kept at it with albums every few years, most recently Fourth Wall in 2023, building a catalog of multi-part compositions.
The band formed in 2012 and released their self-titled debut that same year. They've put out records roughly every few years since, Second Nature in 2014, Third Degree in 2019, and Fourth Wall in 2023. The vocal duties have always been shared between Neal Morse and Casey McPherson, with no single permanent lead singer.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
