synopsis: Thinking Plague's avantgarde music, basically all of which written by guitarist Mike Johnson, is often labeled as Rock-in-Opposition. Based in Denver , USA , the band writes powerful music that is highly structured and rich in rhythmic complexity and its range of sound. This complex and challenging music is played by the band's highly experienced performers, all of whom have partaken in a number of musically related projects, such as 5UUs, Hamster Theater, Toupidek Limonade, Present, U-totem, Ahvak, Blast, Science Group, etc, as well as in jazz and classical music projects, as in the case of the band's pianist Stevan Tickmayer.
