These guys may be math rock, but so are Dillinger Escape Plan, so what the hell are they doing here then?

If you're really keen on having new bands on this site, I would recommend you to use a different tone when suggesting their addition. Personally, I would consider NOT adding a band that was suggested in such a rude way. This is very offensive to those people who work for FREE on behalf of this site.

That said, the Heavy Prog team has taken Battles into due consideration, but (as my teammate Atavachron already said) thought they would be more suited to another subgenre. Rest assured we're not keeping them out of PA on purpose.

I would also support their addition to the site, though under which category - I don't know. It would be useful to finally determine where math-rock-ish bands should go. As we all know, they're currently all over the place.

I just sampled some of their album, IMO I can't find a reason not to include them, I think they sound like they'd fit in under Crossover or Eclectic prog, a strong ELP influence on them, but yet different enoguh not to fall under the trap that Flower Kings, Spock's Beard and others have fallen under by not being idiosyncratic enough.

Give us some time with this addition. There are some things we need to clear up before we keep adding bands like Battles to the archives.
