Boots with Spurs is a four piece progressive rock band from Chicago, IL. The band just finished it’s second album, entitled “Voodoo or Die: The Sun Never Sets Part 2” released May 5th, 2012. This album is the second installment of their two part conceptual project and features a new member in vocalist, Ty Wyffels. Ty joins original members: Clay Bail, Matt Gonzalez, and David Lugo as they plan on bringing their hard hitting, psychedelic approach to progressive rock to the Chicago music scene.

“{Boots with Spurs music} makes Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ look like a nursery story, whilst Coheed & Cambria can no longer be deemed the most imaginative band on the planet.” “I’d hazard a guess that the world just simply is not ready for these kind of ludicrous tales.”
