The Watch

The Watch is an Italian progressive rock band known for their music that is heavily inspired by classic 1970s progressive rock, particularly the sound of early Genesis. The band was formed in the early 2000s by lead vocalist and keyboardist Simone Rossetti, who is often noted for his vocal resemblance to Peter Gabriel. The Watch has built a reputation within the prog-rock community for their meticulous musicianship and evocative live performances. Over the years, they have released several albums that showcase their talent for crafting complex musical arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. The band's discography includes titles such as "Primitive" (2007), "Seven" (2011), and "The Art Of Bleeding" (2021), which demonstrate their evolution in sound and their commitment to keeping the spirit of classic prog alive in the modern era. The Watch has toured extensively, performing both original material and tribute shows to Genesis, further cementing their connection to the roots of their genre.
