The band's lineup has seen changes over the years, with Vanderhoof being the mainstay member. Presto Ballet has released several albums, with their debut "Peace Among the Ruins" coming out in 2005. They have been appreciated within the prog-rock community for their dedication to maintaining the spirit of classic prog while also bringing their own originality to the genre. The band's work is characterized by complex compositions, intricate instrumental work, and conceptual storytelling, which are all hallmarks of traditional progressive rock music.
