Facing New York for post-rock/math rock

This band employs lots of song structure breaks, often instrumental, odd time signatures, complex rhythms, and lots of keyboards and many of the songs transition into one another. Very artsy, especially for the post-hardcore and punk styles it employs.

Each song is not very progressive on its own, but progressive breaks regularly appear, in almost every song, so listen to the full album!

Fantastic band! They're somewhat close to Math Rock at times, but I think their best place on PA will be Heavy Prog. Thanks for this suggestion! I'll alert the HP Team. 

That's interesting Uwe, I didn't know they have a history... I see Rico saying in the previous suggestion thread that Art Rock rejected this band, but in fact, searching the old Art Rock Team thread, it seems that the band wasn't rejected, but it was left undecided as a majority was not achieved (two "yes" votes, one "related" and one "no"). And it's interesting to see that later David rejected them for Heavy, though he had previously voted "yes" for them in Art Rock  I hope it goes well this time

   Sometimes things change over time, and it did indeed go well for them now

So very true, look how enthusiastic I was about them, and now I can't remember at all who they are and how they sound.
