Black Rose Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just think of bands this way, the lesser known they are, the better they are. Although that leads to the conclusion that the world's best band can't exist because no-body would have heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 They were brilliant last night in Aldershot There was no barrier between crowd and stage, so I managed to grab the set-list, and they played: Light The Way Half Light Shake Those Windows The Awkward Goodbye The Getaway Beautiful Vehicles and Animals Hurricane Don't Hold Your Breath Westside The Outsiders *Song introduced as no title, but on set-list as "Granda's Symphony"* Wires Summer Sun 24 Hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpw48 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 little? Not in England.... Dave's right, they are pretty small in England :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ég-elska-Thom Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 what? I dont know but when the last album was out they were EVERYWHERE in London. I mean, they were in the charts, on tV, their posters were all over the fuckin places. and then I was back in berlin and saw them in this tiny club and we talked about how strange it is how big they are in the uk and how they totally arent over here. what exactly do you mean, pretty small? Well, compared to Coldplay and radiohead, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpw48 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nah, its just that following the 3rd album nobody seemed to care. The singles all flopped badly, and the album went into the bargain bin almost immediatly. They deserve more recognition than they're getting basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ég-elska-Thom Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 how do you get from peek position to bargain bin so quickly, thats really strange Interesting, here it just didnt change at all. Noone cared in the first place, noone still cares. Except for Wires of course. Which is a shame because I think their third album was tons times better than the second one. And live the songs were a lot more intense, too They deserve more recognition than they're getting basically its always this or the other way round, isnt it?

They deserve more recognition than they're getting basically They released their 3rd album at the wrong time, and the radio stations couldn't be bothered playing the new songs instead they played crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver1231 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ahh you're so luck you got to see them! I missed their last show when they played near me :( They definitely deserve more recognition as a quality band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 New album, which has slipped under the radar in terms of any news of it: Black Swam, released 24th August I think the tracklisting contains the following 10 songs: 'Superhuman Touch', 'The Getaway', 'Black Swan Song', 'Don't Hold Your Breath', 'Love Come Rescue', 'Light the Way', 'The Unknown', 'The Awkward Goodbye', 'Magical Mistakes', 'Rubik's Cube' But like I said nothing has come though on the new newsletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
