There are many of us at progarchy who love Jerry Ewing and PROG magazine.  Sadly, though, it’s very difficult to find issues of it in print here in the U.S.  Hastings carries it, but the issues are always two or three issues behind what our British cousins are enjoying.  PROG, of course, offers an iPad version, and it’s perfectly fine, except that it lacks the cover mount cd.  Still, nothing beats a physical copy of a magazine.

For those of us in North America who crave a tangible, physical prog rock magazine, we have one: Progression.  This is only my second issue, and I’m rather shocked I didn’t know about it before issue 65.  Better late than never, of course.  So, I’m very glad to know of it now, and I want to spread the good news to all progarchy readers.

It has far more print to it than PROG does; indeed, it packs as much print into the magazine as possible.  Issue 66 is 112 pages long, and it features a number of strong interviews and insightful, if somewhat short, reviews of current releases.  The editor, John Collinge, has done an excellent job, and he should be applauded and supported.

Each issue is $7.95, retail, and it comes out four times a year.  For more information, check out the official website:
