Been listening to the new John Wesley a lot since picking it up (thanks Progstreaming!). Great album. Contains some progressive elements, hard rock, and singer songwriter approach. Steven Wilson mixed one of the stronger melodic tracks, Windows.
Saw him open for the Winery Dogs last week and was even more impressed. Sounded great with Sean Malone on bass and stick.
Can definitely hear a Steven Wilson influence in John's music. Some songs resemble some Porcupine Tree material especially Disconnect. Comparing Disconnect to Wilson's latest solo work (which I also like), I think Disconnect is definitely more melodic.
Would really like to see John join PT on a permanent basis and help Steven with the writing for their next release. I think it would be a good combination. In addition, would be great to hear his contribution from a guitar and vocal standpoint.
