Quite the interesting band, I just discovered them today. They remind a bit of 3 crossed with the Mars Volta and a bit of experimental metal qualities thrown in, as well.

Wasn't entirely sure where to put them, actually, I considered Crossover and even Eclectic, but Heavy seems fine to me...I think...

Anyway, here's a bit of noise from them:

	Nice artwork. Experimental post-hardcore and comparisons to Mars Volta seems to put them firmly in the Heavy camp. Thanks guys!

	Yes, was hearing quite a bit of Volta in these guys, in addition to their off-the-wall post-hardcore sound.
