My guests for this episode are the principal writers for the British progressive rock band IQ, Peter Nicholls (lyrics) and Mike Holmes (music). The lead singer and guitarist, respectively, along with their bandmates are set to release the band's 13th album, Dominion, on Giant Electric Pea Records on March 28. The two discussed the album's music, lyrics, and writing process, their musical backgrounds, Peter's fake-it-til-you-make-it approach to becoming one of the most unique voices in progressive rock, and more.  Please hit the like button and/or leave a rating/review wherever you consume this podcast.
