Hard Rock Hardcore from Chicago, IL

“They are hands down one of the more interesting bands to come out of the states in many years.” - rockyoushow_t1a4ew - Rockyoushow.com

“ Pray For Me ”, a fast, energetic song that mixes weight, aggressiveness and melody very well, with special emphasis on the great work of guitars…. - Roadie-metal.com

“ It’s loud, it’s fast and it vibes at the intersection of ambitious punk, greasy metal and righteous hardcore with a sound that we’re dubbing post-sleazecore.” - Odie Leigh - Postcardalba.com

“In the space of three minutes, Progeny moves through as many tonal shifts as some bands do in an entire LP. Yet, with the way that the uninhibitedly wild progressions bind together with melodic adhesion, it’s always easy to follow their raw groove-led lead.” - Amelia Vandergast ANRFactory.com
