About the band…
BRAM STOKER was one of the first Prog rock bands on the music scene in the 1970’s!
Like other similar groups from the early British Progressive-Rock movement such as: FANTASY, GRACIOUS and RARE BIRD, BRAM STOKER served up lavish helpings of stunning, semi-instrumental Hammond organ and fiery electric guitar driven rock.
Often compared to early GENESIS and YES, the band was formed by keyboard player Tony Bronsdon in 1969 and they soon built up a strong and devoted following at ‘live’ shows.
Playing the Marquee in London, they were once supported by a little known band called QUEEN!
As well as The Marquee, they played regularly spots in London at The Roundhouse, The Greyhound – Croydon and The Speakeasy, plus touring clubs, colleges and Universities in the UK and Holland.
They were appreciated by many well-known artists of the time and their bootlegged releases became real collector’s items!
BRAM STOKER’s reformation album came in 2013 with a CD is entitled: ‘Cold Reading’ - their first official band release since: ‘Heavy Rock Spectacular’ was released on Windmill Records back in 1972.
The band’s new self-composed music was in the vein of the same pure, classic, Symphonic Prog, played by some of the very first original artists and bands at the beginning of the Progressive Rock movement.
‘Cold Reading’ really delivered a thoroughly engaging, top-quality piece of 70’s inspired, keyboards & guitar driven, at times Psych-edged Symphonic Progressive Rock that will appeal to a wide group of Prog fans already into the likes of: ATOMIC ROOSTER, CAMEL. CARAVAN, FANTASY, GREENSLADE, the NICE and RARE BIRD just to name a few. Some tracks had a mellow edge that took the music into the fields occupied by bands like: BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST, the MOODY BLUES and the ALAN PARSONS PROJECT or maybe even a bit of later PINK FLOYD! This was Symphonic Prog at its very best that straddled the sounds and flamboyancy of the early 70’s classics and the more recent melodic neo-Prog styles, but with a passion normally unheard of from a band making a comeback. The keyboard work was wonderful to say the very least, with the Hammond organ driven tracks keeping the feel of the early 70’s always close at hand!
This is sure to sell out quickly … don’t say we didn't warn you!
‘No Reflection’ was released on 28th October 2019.
