Lobate Scarp is a progressive opera-rock band based in Los Angeles. From progressive rock influences like Genesis, Yes, and Phish, to the rock sensibilities of bands like Kansas, Muse, Faith No More and Styx, and a pop infusion of catchy vocals like Simple Minds, The Killers, The Police, Queen, and Foreigner as well as strong ties to musical theater.

Their debut album Time and Space is an AOR rock-opera complete with Trumpets, Saxophone, Viola, Violin, Cello, Theremin, Glockenspiel, and a 30+ person choir singing in Latin. Alex Acuña (Weather Report) appears as a special guest percussionist in the opening 15-minute track and Rich Mouser (Spock’s Beard, Transatlantic, Neal Morse) mixed and mastered the album. Steve Leavitt produced and engineered. It was made possible in 2012 by a successful Kickstarter campaign and has since received accolades from all over the world, played on radio shows, podcasts, as well as had reviews published in numerous music publications. Progarchy.com called it "One of the top 13 albums of 2013!"

Their latest singles “Nothing Wrong”, “And We Tried”, and ”Beautiful Light" were released together on the “Spirals and Portals” EP in 2019. The tracks were partially recorded and mixed once again at The Mouse House under the expertise of Rich Mouser. David A. Hardy, the world's oldest living space artist, has again created the artwork for the new EP. Lobate is currently working on their 2nd full length follow-up album, due sometime in 2021.
