I certainly can't see how they are tech (as in Tech/Extreme Prog Metal)
They could be PA material, but there's lots of post-punk in it (for instance the track Norgesmester i ludo )

I think crossover, maybe avant.

Are there any other samples available than the two samples from MySpace? Those two sound more like '80s post-punk/synth-pop. 

All I can find out about this band is that they are a four piece from Norway consisting of Adrian Tvedten - keys, Bendik Andersson - drums, Gaute Valvatne Granli - Guitar, & Jens Borge - bass.  From the numusic.no website, which McAfee flags as "showing risky behaviour" (!), "Skadne Krek is an explosive quartet forged in the fires of the jazz underworld at the University of Stavanger. With a unique contemporary blend of punk, electronica and rock they bridge the gap between improvisation and the compositional elements of the modern age". They won won the national competition "The future of Norwegian jazz " in April this year, are currently touring, and an EP was being recorded at around the same time they won the competition. I can't find any reference to the existing album refered to above, or anywhere to purchase the EP from. Most sites I have visited are in Norwegian, which doesn't help, and google translate doesn't always cope with them succesfully. Doesn't seem to be enough material available at the moment to evaluate them tbf.
