Polyphia is an American instrumental progressive rock band formed in 2010 in Plano, Texas. Comprising guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage, bassist Clay Gober, and drummer Clay Aeschliman, the band is known for blending complex instrumental tracks with elements of electronic music, hip-hop, and other genres, creating a distinctly modern and genre-defying sound. Polyphia first garnered significant attention with their independently released album "Muse" in 2014, which showcased their technical prowess and helped establish a dedicated fanbase.

Following the success of "Muse," Polyphia continued to push the boundaries of instrumental rock with subsequent releases like "Renaissance" (2016) and "New Levels New Devils" (2018). Their music is characterized by intricate guitar work, virtuosic solos, and an emphasis on melody and groove, often accompanied by high-production music videos that highlight their youthful swagger and technical skill. Polyphia's singles, such as "G.O.A.T." and "Playing God," have become anthems in progressive music circles, while collaborations with notable musicians like Steve Vai in "Ego Death" demonstrate their standing and influence within the guitar community. With their electrifying live performances and a growing catalogue of innovative music, including their reflective release "Remember That You Will Die," Polyphia continues to captivate audiences and redefine what it means to be a rock band in the modern era.
