The Sound of Animals Fighting is a progressive, hardcore, emo super group of sorts. Compromised of members of RX Bandits, Circa Survive, Finch, Days Away, Chiodos, and The Autumns, the group was started by Rich Balling (formly of RX Bandits) a couple years ago and has since grown into a cult phenomenon for those who follow the progressive music scene. Their story is really interesting; how they came to collaborate, their writing process, the monikers they've given themselves. It is certainly worth checking out. A few links are:

TSOAF has released to two albums so far, and plan to release a third, The Ocean and The Sun, in the coming months. A release date hasn't been set yet, but as soon as one is, I'll be posting it here. From what has been written, fans of The Mars Volta will be in for a treat (per Rich Balling, The Mars Volta is the inspiration for the band).
Also, here's a video from one of four live shows they've played. The song is called Act I: Chasing Suns. There is a bit of an intro in the video, so be patient until about 1:30 in. You won't be disappointed.

Understandable. You have to like bands similar to the Mars Volta, At The Drive In, etc. to be able to get into this band. I admit if you aren't into that type of music, you are going to have a hard time swallowing these guys.
Have you checked out any of the other bands I've posted?
If you tell me who you like, I can make some recommendations...that is, if you haven't written me off already.
