Built for the Future

Built for the Future is a crossover prog band from San Antonio, Texas. The band is made up of Patric Farrell and Kenny Bissett. Both have been friends and in the Texas music scene since the early 80s. They decided to join forces for the first time and form a band in 2014. Their first album was released in 2015 and welcomed critical acclaim. The band have since released three albums and are on the cusp of releasing their fourth.

The band describes their primary influences as Rush meets Tears for Fears meets Pink Floyd. Their sound comes from these influences, but with a fresh approach that is a distinctive sound combination of rock+accessibility+melody. Melody and emotion are the primary drivers in their writing, preferring arrangement and emotive connection over hyper busy or technically flashy playing. It's all about the song, the feeling, the theme and the journey a listener can fall in to.
