Peter Hammill's Nadir's Big Chance has a punk feel at times. In fact, some have suggested the origins of punk in the UK could have originated by Hammill's Nadir's Big Chance.

I would say, While 2-3 songs are somewhat punkish, the idea of Nadir's Big Chance being the origin of punk is complete bunc...but maybe you might want to check it out  yourself. Great lp.

Obviously because the members of the Mars Volta used to be in an emo-like band called At The Drive In.

Last month i was introduced to a punk band that didnt agree with the direction of punk, their albums are extremely technical and very punk..but for the life of me i cant remeber the groups name

Well Mars Volta would be as close as you could get to progressive punk and that is only becuase they have punk roots and reviews will tell you the same. I personally don't agree with them, but I know kids who will attend a get-up kids concert and then drive home listening to Mars Volta.....I dunno.

I guess, you should stop guessing.Tongue

 Progressive Punk is as clear an oxymoron you are going to find in music.LOL
