It appears their rejection has been total and decisive. Ah well.
I've been a fan for 20 years, and I think they're about the most technically gifted musicians you're likely to find in a punk environment. But at the end of the day, they're more of a punk band with occasional prog inclinations, and thus don't seem to fit here. I'm cool with that.
It's been about 10 years since their last album... are they done? I know they're pushing 60 by now.

these bands meet clearly the criteria for a prog rock website, but we come back to my previous observation : post-punk is the missing post-something in PA's subgenres. But it seems that progsters have a problem with the word "punk"...

yes, exactly my point : Mars, DNA, rip rig & panic, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, James Chance and the Contortions. That was the real "prog rock" of the early eighties.
