'though I do not know their music, as someone has said to me in the past... we (= ProgArchives) would be relatively stupid not to include bands that are generally regarded as prog rock/metal bands. Maybe the problem is that no-one has taken the time to write a biography for them? Or are they totally rejected? |

I have listened to two of their albums the last couple of days and I sure vote in favour of their addition to the site!

they are definitely prog. "A favor house atlantic" and "blood red
summer" do them no justice (although i do enjoy the catchiness)
moatilata was right in that the story and mood of the songs go along
together.
even if they arent listed as prog on this site, theyre definitely a great band that is unfortunately being bundled up with pop bands like falloutboy and howthorne hieghts while they should be over there with the mars volta. and system of a down should stop touring with mars volta. |

As a short note... under what subgenre of the progarchives database would you like to see them included? Please look at the genre descriptions when deciding. I agree that they should be included though no matter what! |

i was more of the opinion that thery should be under "prog-metal", though it definatly doesnt fit them to a Tee. At least from the songs i heard, (and very much enjoyed by the way). Maybe "prog-related" would be better. actually i believe that would be a very good sub genre for them. And i have to add... a friend of mine purchased "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" and i absolutly love a few of their songs. i think prog-archives should defiatly add them to the site. now i've said my piece, thanks... mikey out |

^ they have to much in common with prog to be dismissed to the 'catch-all' genre Prog-Related. I'd say the description of Art Rock fits them nice!
Maybe a small twist of Experimental?

They're not reinventing prog ... but they do incorporate an EMO vibe into the music, which makes them somewhat unique as a band with 1 1/2 feet in the progressive territory (so to speak).

Ive just listened to Meshuggah's "Catch 33" and Coheed's "Secrets" back-to-back.I'm not suggesting they are similar but I couldnt detect any more Prog-merit in Meshuggah compared to C&C to be honest. They are, in my opinion, prog-related and therefore whilst not a Prog Rock band they do merit inclusion.... |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coheed_and_Cambria "Coheed and Cambria is an American Progressive Rock Band" ... I'm not suggesting that the wikipedia is always an reliable source of information (it is not), but still. The main reason for me to call them a prog band is that they're covered by prog magazines. |
