Disillusioned by the way punkrock and hardcore had evolved over the last couple of years PROGRESS decided that it was time to recreate something old. not because they wanted to do something that had already been done, but to do something they believed in: make hardcore punk with a message. After tons of shows with bands and friends like Age of Panic, Backfire, No Trigger, No Turning Back, the Butcher, On Fire, 1000 Miles Ahead, Uppercut, Set your goals or Antillectual - and some major line-up changes the band is still going strong in 2008 and finally presents their long awaited debut mcd 'the crosses we bear'.
Being lyricly and musically influenced by bands such as Bad Religion, Good Riddance, Gorilla Biscuits, Strike Anywhere and Comeback Kid, PROGRESS as a band chooses to walk the path of most resistance by singing about compassion and understanding in a world where most bands scream about not giving a fuck. Somewhere between punkrock and hardcore you'll find them. The best of both worlds: raw yet melodic, fast and furious. Socially aware, leftwinged but realistic in opinions and ideology.
"As the clouds of our idea's are spreading on, we are waking up the minds of those sleeping far too long"
PROGRESS live in Kerkrade 2005. Old line up.
PROGRESS live in Julich 2007. Line-up ft. Brian COS on guitar!
