Formed in 2008, Lifesigns proudly fly the banner of \u201cIndependent Modern Prog and Classic Rock\u201d. This is where sophisticated progressive rock meets jazz elements, classic rock and subtle pop influences \u2013 all delivered at the very highest level. Before the band sets sail for the Caribbean in 2026 to appear on the renowned prog cruise Cruise To The Edge, Lifesigns will be touring Europe for a handful of select dates. In their luggage: songs from their three studio albums to date, as well as brand-new material from their upcoming fourth album, which is set to be released shortly before the tour. Lifesigns is the brainchild of John Young. As lead singer and keyboardist, he also composes the music, writes the lyrics and retains full creative control over the release of his work. To realise his compositions perfectly both in the studio and on stage, he surrounds himself with some of the most accomplished musicians on the scene. Despite having released \u201conly\u201d three studio albums and two live albums since their formation \u2013 and despite their rare appearances on mainland European stages \u2013 the band\u2019s sophisticated, lyrical and dynamic progressive rock has steadily built a devoted following over the years. With three distinctly different yet equally outstanding studio albums, Lifesigns have set the bar remarkably high.

Reviewing the 2017 album Cardington, betreutesproggen.de wrote: \u201cOverall, \u2018Cardington\u2019 is highly convincing, offering a small firework of melodies that unfolds somewhere between neo prog, AOR and mature pop, and lingers in the ear. Too straightforward for fans of overly intricate prog, yet far too cleverly composed and arranged for simple pop\/rock.\u201d
With their third album Altitude, the band continued to refine their magical blend of prog dynamics and strong melodies. Stone-Prog.de concluded:
\u201c\u2018Altitude\u2019 is a wonderful album \u2013 touching, lyrical, varied and progressive.\u201d
Progcharts.com added: \u201cParticularly noteworthy is the addition of Dave Bainbridge on lead guitar. His guitar work truly shines on this album, especially on \u2018Last One Home\u2019. You know that goosebump-inducing feeling when you hear Gilmour play the crescendo of \u2018Comfortably Numb\u2019\u2026\u201d
The final verdict was clear: \u201cIf you don\u2019t know Lifesigns yet, it\u2019s time to change that.\u201d <\/p>\n
