Active on and off since the early '70s, long-running progressive rock
group Crack the Sky built a loyal following in the Baltimore area that
stuck with them as they rode the tides of the music industry over the
next several decades. Characterized by tightly wound playing, quickly
shifting song structures, and high-concept lyrics from vocalist John
Palumbo, the band's early albums on the Lifesong label approached hard
rock with complex technical prowess. The band would break up and
reunite frequently over the years, with different phases of activity
resulting in albums like 1978's Safety in Numbers, 2004's Dog from
Japan, and a plethora of live albums and compilations.
