Sounds Like:
A lot pof people say that Jade sound`s very much like Rush because of Kafod`s voice, that sounds quite similar as Geddy Lee. But in the way of composing, the band have been developing their own style, with a fusion of Rock, Folk from this latitudes and experimental progressive impro`s.
