Coralspin's prog-rock epics and beautiful ballads have been described as
"early Queen meets Kate Bush".
Their other influences include Muse, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, The Feeling, 70's Genesis, Steely Dan, Dream Theatre, Fairport Convention and Rush.
With their soaring vocals, classic songwriting, irresistible melodies and powerful performances you'll be falling over yourself to turn the volume control up!
Coralspin are currently recording their first album which will be available in CD and download format next year.
The tracks on this page are all draft mixes from the forthcoming album.
There's more about us at our homepage, coralspin.com, where you can find better-quality versions of our mp3s.
Here's a video clip of Jake in the studio recording a solo for the track The Night Stalker:
And here's Steve laying down some bass lines for Sky's End:
I see your project is moving as quickly as mine lately! We lost our studio and I'm in the process of turing my rather large basement area into a studio. It sucks when you have all the equipment and lose your space (darn local laws). At least I have construction skills--that saves money.
I can't wait to hear your CD. The music sounds very promising. Make sure I'm on the list for a first run copy!
Pleased to virtually meet you!! Thank you so much for joining my circle of cyber friends, for excepting the add and for sharing your Awesome Music with me. Good Sound and Vibes!! I really enjoyed listening. K E E P ~ O N ~ P R O G I N'!! Take care, God bless, have yourselves a very restful weekend and an inspiring week ahead. Warmest Regards from Toronto, Canada.
Hello all!

Hope the rehearsals are going well, we're just finishing the final touches to our songs to go on the album which we start recording in June!
Hope we can meet up soon!
All the best, take care,
Cheers,

Yeah, really pleased Rachel has jumped on board. Apart from her being a huge part of my life, she is also one of the greatest singers I have heard in many a year, so a real pleasure and honour to have her in the band.
Hope all is well with you guys and keep me posted on any news as it happens. Take care and speak to you soon.
Hey Coralspin! Many thanks for the link up! Oh boy are we loving your tunes! Secrets sounds like Nyro & Todd making glorious musical love on top of a mountain! Praise be the Lords!

You have some very nice material here.Quite fresh i think.You own web page is good also.
Good luck with the new recordings with the new drummer and its a pleasure to be your friend.
Thanks for the add. I enjoyed listening to the songs. As a previous poster said, it's fresh and something new. Plus, I enjoy hearing a sweet female voice. Always have since the first time I heard Renaissance.
