Spacebag defines themselves as a "party prog metal" band, and who am I to disagree with that? It's evident from their new single "New Jersey Al (Di Meola)" that Spacebag is here to get down, but also to make you feel bad about your own skills on your instrument of choice.
"With 'New Jersey Al (Di Meola)', we challenged ourselves to write a song that pays homage to the jazz fusion masters of the 70’s like Return To Forever and the pioneering spirit of classic weirdo metal bands like Voivod while still maintaining our brutal prog ethos," said keyboardist Luke Laplante. "Putting all of our irons in the fire can best be described by Yngwie Malmsteen: 'How can less be more? That’s impossible. More is more!'"
Spacebag will release their new EP Party Prog Nights on September 15. Pre-orders are available here.
