Porcupine Tree is an English progressive rock band that was founded in 1987 by Steven Wilson. Originally starting as a solo project, the band evolved into a full lineup in 1993 with the addition of Colin Edwin, Chris Maitland, and Richard Barbieri. After going on hiatus in 2010, Porcupine Tree made their official return in November 2021 as a three-piece lineup consisting of Wilson, Barbieri, and Gavin Harrison. They released their new single "Harridan" and are set to release their eleventh studio album Closure / Continuation in June 2022.

The current lineup includes Steven Wilson on vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards; Richard Barbieri on keyboards and synthesizers; and Gavin Harrison on drums and percussion. Former members include Chris Maitland on drums and Colin Edwin on bass. The touring members for the band currently include Randy McStine on guitar and backing vocals, Nathan Navarro on bass, and John Wesley on guitar and backing vocals during their earlier years.

With a rich history spanning over three decades, Porcupine Tree has established themselves as influential figures within the progressive rock genre. Their unique sound combines elements of rock with intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Fans can look forward to experiencing their highly anticipated new album after a long-awaited return from hiatus.

The Sky Moves Sideways is the third studio album by Porcupine Tree, first released in February 1995. It's the first Porcupine Tree album to be released in the US (albeit with an altered track list), &amp; the first on which Porcupine Tree was a band rather than simply a pseudonym for Steven Wilson.

Regarded by many fans as one of Porcupine Tree's finest releases &amp; a cornerstone of any Porcupine Tree collection, the album was recorded partly as a Steven Wilson solo project &amp; partly as a full band album, The Sky Moves Sideways is a diverse experimental rock release spanning space rock &amp; progressive rock styles with long guitar led, instrumental sections.

The album is now being re-printed in a gatefold sleeve &amp; presented with Steven Wilson’s sonically superb 2017 remasters first heard in the Delerium Years box set. Disc 1 is the original album as conceived for vinyl. Disc 2 includes an alternative version of the title track containing music that was eventually cut from the original album version, as well as different lyrics. It also contains EP tracks 'Stars Die' &amp; 'Moonloop' (the edit presented here is a hybrid which contains all the music from all the previous versions &amp; runs to 22 minutes).

Porcupine Tree are currently gearing up for the release of their new album Closure / Continuation, marking another step forward in the incredible journey of the band that began as a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties to a multi Grammy nominated act &amp; one of the world’s most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe &amp; wowing fans with their incredible performances
