Classic Spins with Earth's Yellow Sun

Has it really been two years since we saw that amazing Rush cover from Canada's favorite sons of yore?

Well it has and let's be honest, time has lost all meaning in 2020. So, mix a stiff drink and strap on in for the winter of 2020 I guess.

In the meantime, it'd be a great usage of your time to check out our friends from the North. These Torontonians are ready.

You can stream their latest HERE.

1. My favorite kind of album is the concept album. The Wall is my absolute favorite.

Beyond the amazing songs, it has spectacular nostalgia for me. What's your favorite one and why? 

There’s this killer concept record called The Infernal Machine by a little prog band from Canada called Earth’s Yellow Sun. 

It’s about technology and artificial intelligence and the perils of technology.  Check it out, there’s even a series of comic book videos that I hear they’re releasing.

Wait, sorry, this isn't a Kids in the Hall sketch, but this would be at least three times as Canadian. We have a prog rock band from Toronto covering a significant swath of Rush's seminal 2112.

It gets better they're all wearing Rush shirts and sending some gent on a quest who doesn't appear to even be in the band.

But there are in fact bearded wizards. Did I mention the horn section? I feel like I had to have mentioned the horn section.

Or was it just the wizards? I mean, how many videos are there with wizards hanging out and giving away Rush records?

Not enough.

Speaking of which, we need some of those wizards in St. Louis.... But in the mean time, check out these crazy people on Facebook.
