I strongly suspect that it's just me around here, so not actually expecting replies - but I have just discovered a band in this vein that I am really liking. Some nice melodic guitar soloing, but they also have a sax player which is always a cool instrument.
They are called
Pymlico, and are from Norway. You can hear their latest album (and others) on Bandcamp:
https://pymlicomusic.bandcamp.com/album/supermassive-2Here's some blurb:
The band keeps on exploring the landscape between progressive rock and fusion. They have clearly found their style and showcase an album filled with catchy hooks, singable melodies, strong grooves and blistering guitar solos. Mixing genres and taking inspiration from a wide array of styles including progressive rock, jazz rock, fusion, AOR and pop has resulted in eight powerful tracks. Produced with meticulous attention to details, the album has a crystal-clear modern sound that truly is supermassive.

Nice to see a KORG CX3 organ (bottom right).
Great thread....
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
(Now I feel like one of my grandparents, circa 1970 - "you can't tell the girls from the boys nowadays". So embarrassing.)
I'll check Pymlico out when I get a bit of time.
