This band is really really good in my opinion and I thought I should throw their name out there. They have a fast aggressive drive to them and have a reggae feel to a lot of the songs. There is also a progressive feel to a lot of their songs as there are a lot of cool jams and alternating meters. Their lyrics are also very good, I wanted to share some of them:
"I can't wait for the day When I hear us all screaming, HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION. When every race color And creed of militant human beings stand up With fists together for substance and true meaning Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement We're too caught up in A material status quo punishment And one thing is for sure And that's the sun will always set, Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite So baby take an axe to your makeup kit Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements Love with all your hearts and never forget How good it feels to be alive And strive for your desire Just cause you can't see Your cage doesn't mean that you are free When there are laws against nature But its ok for you to be Addicted to over the counter prescriptions And magazines dictate all our human relations
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in To a culture that objectifies all of our women I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming The apathetic dribble on the news media's chin I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in The lies that are sold through textbooks to children I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming Cause the positive will Always overcome the negative right"
"First comes the school Then comes the job Wife and two kids and a family car We're all falling in line And waiting to die For what? A plaque on the wall and another numeral On a corporate statistic of a government chart You know I don't need A read-out for the beat of my heart You might as well get A barcode tattooed on your arm Cause convenience has strangled art in every form"

I highly recommend listening to "Falling Down The Mountain" (the jam towards the 3:00 mark is great) or "sell you beautiful" or "Decrescendo". Those are my favorite listed on the site. There isn't a band that has some prog influence that I've heard like this, so check it out.
