This is getting old...but you sort of missed my point. You are picking a few songs without looking at the bigger picture. And for the record...Running Blind was on CHR radio. I heard it myself. All I'm saying is that not every song by a band needs to fit a classification to warrent making a fuss over what they are. They list themselves as Rock/Alternative. If you check WikiPedia you would learn that they have faired FAR better on Rock radio.
