Doping Hornets (Canada). Cleared for Crossover!

We are a band from Montreal, Canada. We released our first album independently and just started playing in bars in and around Montreal. We incorporate many different styles in our music but I think we do have some prog influences. Our self-titled debut album is available for free download on our bandcamp. We are currently recording our second album. I am eager to get feedback and start sharing my thoughts on music on this forum!

Here are links to get to know us. Please feel free to like and share our music if you feel so inclined.

Hello there, do you sell / make your album publicly available? I can see no indication of this and this is required for consideration to PA.

Music sounds good, can't decide which subgenre you might be evaluated for, perhaps Crossover?

Here's a bigger version. Wasn't too sure how to upload the pic.

Here are photos of the tracklist and the back of the album design for your convenience. This tracklist only applies to our physical copy released December 1st 2014.

Listened to the five tracks currently on bandcamp, and got a mostly alternative/gothic rock feel from them - with a few proggy instrumental flourishes thrown in. It depends on what the remaining tracks sound like too, of course, but I feel that Crossover Prog is indeed the only sub where this music might fit...and that a positive outcome there would be by no means a certainty. To my own ears what I have heard so far is just a fraction on the light side with regard to its prog content for inclusion on a site like ours - pleasant enough music, it must be said...but I feel it won't be an easy decision for the team at all.

And you will be pleased to know that your evaluation in Crossover is now under way, and you can follow its progress here: http://progfreak.com/Doping-Hornets-163003.html?path=pa/recent. You need three 'yes' votes (represented by white ticks on a green background in the chart that this link points to) in order to be cleared for addition.

The show is called ''The Waiting Room'' and will be aired tomorrow from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM EST/EDT. I am not 100% sure but I would not be surprised to learn this forum had something to do with it. Thanks again for the warm welcome in your community.

Great progressive music blog in which my band was recently featured. A lot of good musical discoveries to be made!
