Napier's Bones
This band was actually recommended to me by Len Rice (see Progkast -15), and a good recommendation it was. Some really nice classic style Prog with a modern touch, their newest release (2017) is "Alpha-Omega Man". Headed by Gordon Midgley and Nathan Jon Tillett, Each of their albums are conceptual stories which lead you on a fantasy guided path of Progdom. This particular piece, "No Return?" is from their 2016 album release, "Hell and Highwater". Some really great music here for classic Prog fans who want something new and with a newer more modern sound.... or even die hard classic Prog fans.
US
With "Lindisfarne", taken from their newest (2017) album release of the same title, US are definitely taking us on a musical journey to a classic Prog haven with swirling mellotron and images of euphoric atmospheres. The original members,Jos Wernars, Ernest Wernars, and Paul van Velzen have been playing music together for over 40 yrs, and have 10 album releases under their belt. They hail from Amsterdam and can be found here, on Bandcamp. Their official site is here.
Federico Fasce
"Memoirs" was taken from Federico's 2008 release, "Recharged". He is now involved in a trio called "Dock Number Three". They've been playing gigs in and around Genova, Italy, and hopefully we'll hear more from them soon.

Need
The Need are from Athens, Greece and once again a modern touch to a classic Prog sound. The epitomy of concept albums, Hagaiamas is a fantastic music journey you won't regret. Taking the title cut from the album, the song "Hagaiamas closes out this epic journey. There's plenty more where this came from on Bandcamp, and Youtube.
