Artist description Early-'90s fire-breathing jam band. The recordings don't do justice to the live shows. A few of the live shows involved taking on over a hundred heavy metal, thrash metal, speedcore, grindcore, black metal, and chromecore bands in Bogarts' Battle of the Bands. Needless to say, Equinox's groovy, noodly explorations didn't find much truck with Slayer fans.

Music Style Jam rock with jazz, funk and folk elements

Musical Influences The Police, Pat Metheny, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, Jethro Tull, Neil Young

Similar Artists Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, God Street Wine, Grateful Dead
