The new modern ProgRock band Circuline. Performing melodic and cinematic rock for the 21st Century, their original music combines elements of classic progressive rock and modern rock. The "Tribute" part of their show covers British and North American progressive music that was played on the radio in the '70s, '80s and '90s, such as Yes, Genesis, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Sound of Contact, and Pink Floyd.
