About Me

TheProgFiles.Com is a brand new review site dedicated to progressive music of all genres. We respect each and every musician that makes an effort to make their own music and to express their art outside the mainstream.The mainstream music industry as we know it today, is the living definition of artificial. The albums are made to "consume" fast only to be "put away" to move on to the next trend. However, there are many artists on the fringe who are brave enough to create what they believe is right and thereby creating timeless music. No matter what genre they are coming from, we embrace them, and dedicate this site to their work. made with the Cosmoedit Myspace Editor
