Calling new prog bands

Hi, I'm Steve and I hope the forum owners don't mind me letting users know that I've started up a new facebook page called Modern Art Rock. The term 'Art Rock' is getting more commonly used but there seemed to be no outlet for it, very little on www searches. What is it? Well I see it as bold, original, experimental and creative, not only musically but also visually. I'm starting to find that with more open access to home recording and video making bands are starting to have license to be more creative but poor outlets to show it off. Creative will also mean 'different' and the powers that be controlling the media seem to want to only market what they control or what is the same as the last success and are therefore scared of 'different' and we get stuck with dull, boring, predictable pap pop and rock.
I'm trying to create another little window for unsigned art rock/prog bands (like this superb forum does) so people have a place to discover them and bands can meet others in the facebook environment, as this was what I was looking for and couldn't easily find ...so I set one up!
So then -  any band that feels they meet the creative 'Art Rock' criteria (which in truth isn't a million miles away from Prog rock) then I'm really happy to post you on my facebook page. If it sounds too much like something else and doesn't feel creative or artistic enough then please be prepared for a very sorry and apologetic rejection!
I've just set out with this so really keen to get it populated by new unsigned bands. Thank you for you time.

Sorry for not posting a link!

I have done my first review on this new facebook page and it's of Farmhouse Odyssey from California. they were the first band to send me anything and they are a talented young creative prog band and I gave them a 4/5 rating and posted links to their music and on line stuff. Looking for more new Art Rock bands!!

Thank you for suggestions on this post, excuse my time in getting back, work getting in the way!
Three thirteen - I've listened to all your soundcloud tracks, so much skill and time must have been out into that and all the amazing sounds, arrangements and professional sounding production. However the thing is, I'm not seeing it as the genre of Modern Art Rock that I'm setting out to explore (that's just my opinion). It's in no way a reflection on the excellent music or musicianship, just a genre thing. To me it sits more with new age, lounge jazz or prog in places ....but that's just my take on it. In some ways I'd like to put everyone's music in as I know full well the effort and passion that goes in but I need to make sure I'm clear about the direction of my site otherwise it'll be a big mash of styles without a clear direction; I want it a bit rock and I want it with originality and made with creativity in mind rather than commercialisation and I'd also love the art explored or expanded on with interesting visuals.

The facebook site Modern Art Rock is growing - always looking for appropriate style bands to review and promote and members of this blog may also like to just hear the music promoted on here, there's some great stuff already

Hey! Thank you very much Lord Xorilyg, the more we can spread the word the more it will help bands. If this does take off (and I'm getting regular likes now) then I'll do a website and all my bands reviewed, like yours, will have their own page with links etc. many thanks! - Steve
