A progressive rock band from Hemel Hempstead in England. Founded by multi-instrumentalist and production mastermind, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree has managed to defy genres by blending in styles of psychedelia, ambient, and avant-garde in order to create rich, organic musical landscapes that are refreshing and compulsively seductive.
(In case any of you are wondering, Steven has gone on record to say that the name Porcupine Tree is a nostalgic term, harkening back to the days of creative and ambitious musicians whose names were as interesting as their music)
Possibly the greatest rock band of this generation.

If you like thoughtful, flawlessly executed, and richly textured rock music that isn't afraid to venture into unknown territories, you need look no further than Porcupine Tree.
