I don't mind Those Poor Bastards but they wouldn't be the first group I'd use to try and get someone into the genre. Their music is a little too over-the-top that it almost becomes comical. Still I do admire their steady stream of new music with either a new album or a new EP every year and their contributions with other artists to at least raise awareness of the genre. If Jay Munly had that kind of mentality I think the genre would be a bit more known, but he's happy doing what he's doing and I can't begrudge him for that.
