We are evaluating it in Eclectic.  Please be patient as we have a backlog. I'd like to see it in Eclectic or Crossover, but it's one, I thought, that needs careful listening.  Will let you know how it goes. Thanks.

Oh I don't ment to be rude or hasty
 
but I saw just a tonn of new bands that were suggested On New Bands or Artist suggestion, and this was falling down onto second page. I allways fear that when thay are not on the first page they often are forgotten and sinks futher away into the jungle of bandsuggestions.

Teams have threads where they discuss suggestions.  It was mentioned to us (Eclectic) by David (Atavachron) and is on our to-do list. Course it may be passed on by us to Crossover, in which case they'll then have to evaluate it.  It may take some time, but it won't be forgotten even if it falls many pages down until a final decision is reached.  Anyway, I like this one, and hopefully PA members will check it out and enjoy it. The most important thing is that all of the suggestions do get acknowledged and get their chance for evaluation.

No ice cream, but if it's accepted and you prepare the addition (bio etc,), then I could add it for you will giving you lasting credit for the addition, which may result in a certain amount of adulation from Prog people down the road on a job well done.

We've cleared it for Eclectic.  If you would like to prepare the addition (bio/ band pic) then I could add it for you with full credit, and then you could add the albums yourself.

Major Parkinson is a rock group from Bergen, lokaly from parts of their county (Hordaland)  like Odda and Hardanger.
 
the fun started in 2003
 they started playng at small venues, but build a strong fundament with a growing local following, soon they started to play a larger venes and festivals like the lokal Begen festival called Eggstokk festival.
 
their first producer Sylvia Massy (who produced their debute s/t album) have worked with no less the Tool, Johnny Cash and lokal Norwegian bands like Siegmen and Animal Alpha.
 
Album was released in 2008 and got great and positive reviews in national media newspapers, which futher led to som natinal and international tourdates, culminating in the Hove-Festival where they shared stage with Faith No More and Disturbed.
 
Their music i rock with a strong pop sensabilaty, with elements from Melodic classic pop, hardcore rock elements, and progressive rock
 
their last Album was released in 2010 and have the title Songs From a Solitary Home
 
their infuences (as far as I can hear) is Tom Waits, Procol Harum, Jethro Tull, Kansas, System of a Down, Kaizers Orchestra (whom probably shoul be in PA as well Confused)
 
 
first album
 
second album
 
 
how to futher describe them (they have also extremply energic live shows), also a indication of the rumours that the ScandioNodic prog era is real
 
Major Parkinson is madness put into system, like a Cirkus, hosptial for mentaly disabled and catchy rock are fitting describtions
 
other Norwegains whom might now them please add some info if you have any
