In June, we start off the month with a series of songs from supergroups, which are bands composed of members of other popular bands to see if they can create something greater than the sum of their parts.
Band: OSI
Song: shutDOWN
Year: 2003
Genre: Progressive Rock
Why: Easily one of the most forgotten progressive rock supergroups ever. The band was originally made up of guitarist Jim Matheos of Fates Warning, drummer Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, and keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Moore also temporarily from Dream Theater. and were joined on this first album by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree and Sean Malone of Cynic. After Portnoy moved on to other projects, he was replaced by none other than Gavin Harrison, the drummer of Porcupine Tree. So, yeah, some big names made some great music, and yet no one seems to remember them.
