Edison's Children

Edison's Children is a science fiction-oriented progressive rock trio known for writing "epic Concept albums" with supernatural, apocalyptic and extra-terrestrial themes. It features Rick Armstrong (the son of astronaut Neil Armstrong), Pete Trewavas (Marillion and Transatlantic) and Eric Blackwood (on-set special FX artist for over 150 Major Motion Pictures & Television Shows (IATSE Local 52) who performed as a musician for Sunblister & Blackwood and Foti). Their CDs include visual accompaniments in the form of 20 page "lyrics and images" insert booklets by photographer Wendy Darling Blackwood. Edison's Children's music is a blend of neo-prog and industrial rock, drawing progressive influences from Pink Floyd, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Genesis, and Rush and combining them with the sub-bass style of music by bands like Tool, Deftones, The Cure, Chevelle, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, due to Blackwood's work as a 5-string (Low-B) bassist with NYC's hard industrial alt-rockers Sunblister (1998-2005).
