   From facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/borderlinesyndrome):
Borderline Syndrome is a rock band from Athens, Greece. Formed in 2010, 
the band is influenced by the majority of music genres, trying to blend 
everything under their musical style.  Having enjoyed equally 
musicians like The Dillinger Escape Plan, Tool, Radiohead, Bjork, Ulver,
 King Crimson and Miles Davis, the band’s music varies from modern 
extreme mathcore to Radiohead-like pop along with elements derived from Greek traditional music.  Believing that it is time that people stopped listening to specific 
music genres and perceive music as a whole, borderline syndrome mean to 
express a variety of feelings as has to do with complexity, tension or 
lyricism. From melodic, simple easy-going songs to complex, dissonant 
heavy tracks, the only aspect that borderline syndrome try to keep 
common is musical quality.  Mixing and mastering procedure of the 
band’s forthcoming album “stateless” has just finished and borderline 
syndrome are currently seeking a record label and a management & 
tour agency.

I had a quick listen to their album on bandcamp and eclectic is the first thing that comes to mind (some metal, crossover and avant in there but eclectic stands out IMO).

Progfreak entry

I would be happy to do the addition when (and not if) cleared

	Thanks for the suggestion! The Radiohead and Bjork influences are pretty much to the forefront and I think these guys would easily fit in Crossover, but then you get tracks such as: Although they themselves set out to eschew musical labels, I agree that their blending of various styles does seem to distinguish them as eclectic.
