Bio
.. Musical worlds colorfully collide in the form of The Station. Paired in a music scene long-dominated by excessive, guitar-heavy outfits dropping into 10-minute jam after jam of trading solos, they have been able to discover a newly-formed and rarely traveled crevice in today’s wall of sound. While guitar-rich in essence, The Station has managed to produce a sound void of the same all-too similar, stagnant riffs. Somewhere tastefully aligned between the progressive rock style of Geddy Lee’s Rush, American hard rock, the latter days of John Coltrane and the many fiery incarnations of saxophonist extraordinaire Skerik lie The Station. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........................View all ....The Station tour dates........ .. ..>>>>>Keep Reading....... .. .. .. .............. ................ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ...... ...... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. .. -
