Another Roadside Attraction - Another Roadside Attraction (1979/2025) [Hi-Res]

Another Roadside Attraction is one of the most enigmatic bands of the Canadian progressive scene of the late '70s. Very little information about them remains, as they were part of the local Toronto scene and released their only album with their own funds, with a pressing of just a few hundred copies.
Here is what is known about the band:
Origin and Status: Based in Toronto, Ontario, the band was a classic example of a "private press" act — the musicians self-funded the recording and pressing of their vinyl without a major label contract.
Period of Activity: Their main activity took place in the late 1970s. Shortly after the album's release in 1979, the band disbanded, leaving no other recordings behind.
Unique Lineup: The band stood out among other prog-rock groups of the era due to their instrumentation. Their classic lineup completely lacked guitars (both electric and bass). The foundation of their sound consisted of:
Dual Keyboardists: Armin Leonardo and David Dobko. They shared duties, creating melodies and rhythmic bass lines on synthesizers and piano.
Vocalist: David (sometimes cited as Paul) Saunders. His singing style was closer to classic rock and AOR, making the music more accessible for the radio of that time.
Drummer: Michael Grace.
Musical Influence: Despite their Canadian roots, their style is often compared to British virtuosos like ELP (Emerson, Lake & Palmer). Critics note that the instrumental sections were clearly inspired by Keith Emerson's "playbook," especially in the active use of acoustic piano.
