Astra

[Donny Doom]

ASTRA stands for progressive rock music with psychedelic roots. The sound also incorporates heavy rocking as well as symphonic organ and mellotron infected elements. Based on a skilled songwriting this is presented in a rather 70s retro style including some long tracks showing jamming parts where the band members let the music flow and evolve.

Country of origin: USA
Location: San Diego, California.
Genre: Psychedelic, Prog Rock
Label: Rise Above Records

Line Up:

Richard Vaughan – vocals, guitars, keyboards
Conor Riley – vocals, guitars, keyboards
Brian Ellis – guitars, moog synthesizer
Stuart Sclater – bass guitar
David Hurley – drums, percussion, flute

These are the title tracks from their albums I've been digging on from Astra.
