Spock's Beard are the undisputed heavyweight champions of the new progressive rock movement.

Their latest CD Octane continues to show an evolution and marked growth in the Spock's Beard sound. Still present are the trademark melodies, lush vocal harmonies and instrumental ferocity that elevated Spock's Beard to the top rung of the progressive rock ladder. However, Octane sports a more aggressive and heavier sound. There is a new power and immediacy to their music which should help the band to further blur the lines which separate musical genres and cross Spock's Beard over to new fans while also satisfying the expectations of their longtime followers.
