Godsticks are a unique progressive-rock band from South Wales, UK. Formed in 2006, their love of various musical styles including prog-rock, fusion, rock, and pop have been melded together to create their own style.
Initially a cover band performing complex progressive music, Godsticks then began to immerse themselves in song-writing and develop their own unique song formats - borne out of a desire to create song arrangements they wanted to hear, but that were never present in the music of their influences.

THE BUZZ SO FAR..............
"Creative, ambitious, well played; it's what we should all aspire to artistically"
Mick Taylor, Editor (Guitarist Magazine)
"Outlandishly original and mind-bending"
Mike Keneally
“Unique, but accessible: exactly what we need more of! Great stuffâ€
Billy Sheehan
"Lots of inventive turns of phrase, clever arpeggios, and other little touches combine with the jazzish grooves and hooky melodies to keep things interesting."
Barry Cleveland, (Guitar Player Magazine)
"Godsticks creates a heavenly fusion out of some unexpected sub-genres -- jazz, pop, rock and funk -- to recall the best work of artists like Jeff Beck, Mike Keneally, Level 42, Peter Gabriel, Steve Vai and Steely Dan."
Bill Meredith, (JazzTimes and Jazziz magazines)
"If you're one of those people that MUST categorise a band's music, you'll have to invent a new one called Progressive Jazz Rock for this band. They sound to me like Jeff Berlin and Allan Holdsworth meet Colloseum and Spock’s Beard. Jason Marsh's bass is bubbling all the way through, and the guitarist is doing wonderfully, unconventional things."
Martin Simpson, (Bass Musician Magazine)
“Really enjoyed the music; eager to hear more…..Nice adventurous turnsâ€
Elliott Randall, (Steely Dan, Solo artist)
"Godsticks is smart, level-headed prog, forgoing angel-wings and flights of rhetorical fancy for a more focused, quirkier, even poppier groove - made that much cooler by the punchy fretless stylings of bassist Jason Marsh. Definitely worth a listen."
Bryan Beller, (Steve Vai, Mike Keneally, Solo artist)
“Tight and groovy with a big solid toneâ€
Michael Manring
“a prog/fusion that has deep roots in the best UK prog bands back in the 70s but with a fresh approach that shows Godsticks will add something to the genre historyâ€
Lorenzo Feliciati, (Bass clinician at Academy of Contemporary Music London)
