I did check them out. They are great. I wouldn't categorize them to close to us in genre. We all grew up in the 90s alternative rock scene, so influences such as Tool, Nine Inch Nails and Deadsy are big...but we are also fans of progressive music. I personally am a fan of Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, etcetera. I don't feel that a musical arrangement has to be overly complicated through the use of odd time signatures or dancing along the fretboard to be considered Prog. Prog-tronica, deathpop.
seems rather an odd label to be on for your band, i have to say. the rest of the acts seem to be very tired, cheesy prog-rock with no real teeth. apart from steve morse, of course, who is a god. but he's hardly cutting edge. that derdian lot are...well....laughably bad. are they from estonia or something?
i much prefer polar rose and sigma to that single. the choruses are a little lost tho, to me. i know you're aiming for britney's market but i reckon they could jump out a bit more. they're not so singable after one or two listens. anyway best of luck to you!
@PROFBOTULISM our label is Magna Carta. Search on youtube 'Stranger', 'Polar Rose', 'Esoterika', 'Spook', 'Left Right Parasite', 'Whistleblower', 'Sigma', 'Ordo Ab Chao', or 'The Machine Stops'. Some of those you may like better than this single, which is aimed at mainstream radio.

there's only one song on here.isn't there? there's no way you can convince with that this is industrial. a few synths doesn't make it industrial. it's hardly progressisve either, is it? all 4/4 and very expected/normal chords. what's progressive about it? do tell. it's got more more in common with depeche mode than anything industrial or progressive
@PROFBOTULISM Dude i dont care what style the music is supposed to be, or the instruments they use, or even the colour of their skin. Its good music and I like it. Link me to one of your own videos so you can prove to me that you're better than this. Please :)
It's one thing to express an opinion that you don't like something, this is totally acceptable. It's another thing to mock people, who are only doing something they're passionate about. What do you do? I play rock everyday. And a lot of people like it! ;)
We are not a school band. We are all in our mid 20s. Our label is Magna Carta in the US. We are from Canada however. We're not concerned about competing with other arists of a similar genre. We value our independence, and our crossover quality. It is our strength. Google us for reviews. Our name did not come from a book. The word 'Meme' relates to a message that is spread like a virus. The 'Android' relates to the synthetic and falsified elements that govern our society.
don't get me wrong. you're a strong sounding school band. which market are you aiming at? yes. to each his own. personally, i'm not keen on that lead guitar playing rather clumsily along with the main vox.
check this- potentitally one of your competitors...maybe.
dead letter circus myspace page
just better songs, better sounds, better playing, better production. they're on the other side of the world from you tho.
last video down.right side of the page. 'the space on the wall'
@PROFBOTULISM I take it you don't listen to/know of much progressive/industrial music now do you? Or do you just like to base a band off of just one song?
@PROFBOTULISM To each his own! Our label seems to think our song writing is strong, as do the writers of every review we've come across. Perhaps you will find our other songs more accessible. Thanks for the comment.
ahh..it was just a sarky comment. they sound very amateurish to me. very infant in their songwriting. not for me at all. i hope you enjoy them tho. saves me from having to listen.
@stewas09 Thanks, we appreciate that you took the time to check it out! Check us out on myspace if you get a chance. Our debut album will be available in a few days time! :D
Jake buddy, its hugh, you have come a long way from the days at the store. If your ever back in Midland stop in say hi and bring me a cd your shit rocks!
@Jakester2112 For sure man. You just let me know when your available and Ill see what I can arrange with the team to show ya a good time on the field. You got your own gear or need some loner stuff?
thanks! we would love for you to spam the crap out of the video to all your friends and on your facebook and all that to help us get as many views as fast as possible!!
@NEDDY7 its a swat type dude without the gun...i wanted the gun to be there but we couldnt find a good replica in time!! sadly, but if u wanna think its a ninja then so be it! haha
You guys are amazingly kick ass in this video and jake ps you are the ultimate ginger drummer and they will totally rise up and take over the planet lol

shannon. if you don't care what the style is sposed to be, why did you pigeonhole the band as industrial and progressive!? makes no sense whatsoever
and why do i, personally, have to be 'better' than the band to warrant having a valid opinion?
just for the record, i'm a pro musician that writes for a living. not that it matters one jot. thanks jakester. will check out the other stuff
