Artist History Longtime friends, who have always shared an interest in progressive music, began working together in August of 1998 after years of performing in other local projects. Immediately, the band started writing for the CD "Coming into Focus", which was recorded during the spring and summer of 1999 at Online Studios in Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition to Perspective, Rod is currently a member of the industrial metal band Jagged Doctrine (see MP3 link below), and Chris and Ben are currently members of the progressive rock band The Neapolitan Orchestra. http://www.infinet.com/~hipeters/neaorch/ SUMMER 2001: Perspective is now pleased to announce the permanent addition of a fourth member of the band, Johnny Ledford. Johnny will be taking over the majority of the lead vocalist duties and is certain to add a new dimension to the current lineup through live performances and future studio recordings.
