IZZ

IZZ is a New York-based progressive rock band. Its music is inspired by such classic progressive groups as Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Renaissance and is often infused with pop hooks à la The Beatles. The band's name comes from the nickname of baseball relief pitcher Jason Isringhausen, who was once on the New York Mets, a team favored by John Galgano.

The group has performed at American progressive rock festivals RoSfest, NEARfest, The Rogue Independent Music Festival,[1] CalProg, and ProgDay.

IZZ’s album Crush of Night, was released in May 2012, and serves as Part 2 of a 3-part series of thematic albums that began with The Darkened Room in 2009. Featuring a guest appearance by Gary Green of Gentle Giant on Words and Miracles (electric guitar, guitar solos and backing vocals) and The Crush of Night (guitar solo).[2]

gollark: What? No, that's ridiculous.
gollark: I don't think this has much of an effect generally, as most stuff counts by codepoints (which is wrong in some ways but OH WELL) and it's the same amount of those either way.
gollark: Fun!
gollark: So depending on global geopolitical status, two regional indicators show as different amounts of characters.
gollark: If you put the U and S regional indicators together, they render as 🇺🇸. If you put random ones together, they probably won't.
