	Sorry, couldn't find samples either. But you can find some of their songs on youtube (especially "Green Eyed Lady")

	^ YouTube samples are welcome, posting them along with the written information is very helpful. Here is Green Eyed Lady: Sounds nice and prog. I'm not sure which genre would fit them best; I'll alert the Heavy prog team first.
