Ars Nova

I've been downloading some tunes by a Japanese band, Ars Nova.



I've liked what I've heard so far. By the looks of the band, one might think that they were some kind of New Wave or alternative band. You'd think so, but you'd be wrong. Instead they play progressive rock(gasp!) very much in the vein of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Lots of kinetic drumming and manic Hammond organ. Think ELP plus a little punk.
