Dog Fashion Disco (for metal)

A search showed that Dog Fashion Disco was suggested for inclusion in 2007; however, since old threads are locked now, I will start a new thread.

Here's a link to the old topic for reference:

It is quite an eclectic band that blends death metal/ rock/ screamo/ nu metal and various other styles.  It's more of an experimental/ avantish metal band.  It's kind of crossover and prog related in some aspects (bands which have similar traits), but I think it might well be a good addition to the Experimental/ Post Metal or Extreme Prog Metal category (damned if I know those categories that well).

There are many myspace pages with music: CLICK
It pays to listen to many of the samples, and I found it good to listen to various pages, because the music is quite diverse (that being one one reason why I think it good for the archives) -- rather retro pop/rock in some..

Just copying in some of the myspace pages with description (just page one)

Will be very interested to hear what people think.  It's not altogether prog to these ears, but interesting, and I think worthy of addition.

The first one is.

Very interesting band indeed, with a very eclectic sound. Their music could be debatable weather if it's prog or not. This band deserves a few more listens...

I'm not a metal fan but I love the band name. 

That's what I meant in my first post when I said, " It's not altogether prog to these ears, but interesting, and I think worthy of addition." Worthy of addition to the archives I thought, though that may be in a prog related capacity.  Perhaps I was being generous with "altogether" -- thought of editing that before or rephrasing as I meant while it's not that prog to me, it has elements/ qualities that I often associate with Prog (fusion of styles, some interesting twists, quirkiness etc.).

Anyway, I knew I was pushing it a bit with this one (secret agenda: the furor over this addition may create a smokescreen for Metallica and Coltrane to get in.  Just kidding, of course, as that makes no real sense).

Slartibartfast: it's the name that drew my attention.  I love those wacky names. :)

Check out this faux dog food commercial (just popped into my head):

It's just like you say: they just have some of the elements.

Indeed they aren't a fully prog metal band -- they aren't even fully metal, let alone fully prog anything.  Anyway, thanks burritounit (I just got your name -- as in a "burrito unit") -- depending on what the other Prog Metalers say,  I expect they'll agree, I won't bother pushing it for PR.  The PR guys have so many evaluations on their plates as it is, and I didn't even know these guys before (the name has wacky avant overtones though).  I still rather think that if there were art metal subcategories, this might be considerable for one of those (a crossover one).  No, none of that, "Isn't art metal contradictory?" from the wags.

I'd been reading your name sort of like "burn it out" as said by someone with a  serious speech impediment until I suddenly saw it as two words, burrito and unit.  Never examined your name that closely, but I have a tendency to, sometimes talk out loud when reading here.  Well, not actually talk out loud, but "voice", or a mental equivalent, certain words I see here in my head.  So it's like your name gave my brain a mental impediment -- made it splutter.

Their lyrics are very, very strange.  Saw them live at a local club probably 4 or 5 years ago.  Really wasn't interested in meeting the band at all ...   Very pyschizo band.  Kind of like a nu-metal version of Unexpect.
