Prog Is a State

Prog Is a State of Mind #3 By Jim Allen · August 17, 2026

An interview with Yes’s Billy Sherwood, who replaced Chris Squire mentioning Angine De Poitrine.  In th UK Charts...

"we’re number three, and number two is [microtonal rockers] Angine De Poitrine, who I love. And I was hip to them long before they blew up. It’s just funny to see, because they are so ‘now,’ if you will, and we are so of a time before. And somehow, it makes sense. We’re in the progressive genre and they are as well. They’re playing some really out-there stuff in weird time signatures that’s pushing the musical envelope of your average listener. And to me, that’s what prog is. So God bless them, and I’m just happy that we’re in the same area of the chart, it was mind-blowing for me.”
