The picture is too large, and makes the info-box huge. Web250 21:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advertisting
Wikipedia isn't for advertising, so I've deleted the header and text about the Fan Site, seeing as this isn't necessary in the slightest. The link already existed in the Other Links section. Also have moved the fan site link down the list as the other links seem to hold more relevance to the actual band. Neverender 899 00:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alternate name
the red of soroman is not sourced anywhere, where did this come from, what explanation is there for this? is that the correct spelling even? could it be saruman like from lord othe rings instead?
- It's a pseudonym the band sometimes uses, I believe primarily when they play local shows in Boston and play new songs. From what I can tell, the last time they did this was in February 2007. I'll add a bit of info to the "Name" section of the article to clarify this. Also, according to the flyers I've seen, they spell it Soromon. link Tdogg241 17:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
I'm not going to get into an edit war over the genre here, but it's pretty pathetic to insist that "it is difficult to classify them as anything other than experimental". They're an emo band with some electronics. Big whoop. Have you ever heard any ACTUAL experimental music? Even the catch-all "indie" would be a better description. The way it's written now makes me think the lady doth protest too much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baligant (talk • contribs) 04:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
It is pretty amusing that, in defense of the "experimental" description, there are two citations: one is the band's "self-description" on Myspace, and the other is from the Boston Phoenix. The Phoenix link, however, is not to an article, but to a band-bio page for which the content (and genre indicators) are provided by the band and/or their publicity materials -- another "self description." I feel justified in noting this in the body of the article.
[edit] went to their concert w/ nfg and senses fail...
