The latest album from legendary Prog-rockers Spock’s Beard, ‘Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep’, is out now and has been met with critical acclaim across the board including Classic Rock Magazine calling it ‘arguably the best album of their 20-year career to date.’ The band is soon to embark on a European tour in support of the album, and the band has given us a steady stream of rare rehearsal footage of new material for us to share with you.

Spock’s Beard’s new studio album marks the recording debut of long-time live drummer Jimmy Keegan, and vocalist / guitarist Ted Leonard (Enchant, Thought Chamber). As mentioned previously it also sees the return of one familiar name to the song-writing credits, that of Neal Morse who has co-written two tracks after having left the band way back in 2002.
To celebrate InsideOut’s 20th anniversary and the release of their newest album “Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep”, Spock’s Beard will do a tour with Swedish Prog quartet Beardfish and Sound of Contact, the new band featuring Simon Collins, Dave Kerzner and John Wesley.Beginning May 2nd in Verviers, Belgium and rounding up on May 19th in Hamburg, Germany.
Bassist Dave Meros said: “We’ll play a 50/50 mix of old and new. We’re doing most of the main disc of the new album. But we’re not doing Treasure Abandoned, so that might be a surprise.”
