well since they've been suggested twice and rejected once recently, things don't look good |

They're definitely too mathcore to be considered progressive rock and it would almost be a tight squeeze in math rock.

the point is this town does not, in fact, need any guns; I told the NRA dealer that when he was here |

Are you saying they don't belong here and you voted no?

It's like math-rock/post-hardcore. I think? Am I just making things up? ------------- http://blindpoetrecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">

Good stuff, sounds like a crossed-over form of math rock (or math-pop to a certain extent). Which basically means NO for PA. This kind of bands was discussed http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75642" rel="nofollow - here . |

mathcore is math rock/metalcore, so I'd be willing to say they aren't mathcore. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

I think they're totally math rock, but they're not really all too progressive. Also, the dude's vocals are super emo, not that it actually matters though. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

^ they've been added to Crossover Prog, so this has no bearing on Mathrock or 'mathpop' |

| I think crossover is a suitable fit. Take a prog subgenre, math-rock, and mix it with pop. That's crossover. And the way these guys do it is unique :) |
