I might as well.

Next single

Play stinks 'cause you can't order from the US, but I figure the 5" will make it on ebay.. Anyway, will there be a vinyl release? Also, I can't help but think they needed a little bit more time before a full-length release, they're good but not great. They have potential though.

You may find some of the vinyls on amazon. If not then E-bay is a good alternative. Agreed about play.com.

street teamer.

Heard a bit of some tune by The Drums.It did indeed sound like New Order's The Village

I dont think they have one, just an email list. But just posting to share is all.

Probably "Best Friend".

Personally I think they are pretty bland and dull. They sound like Scouting for Girls

I managed to get this finally, off ebay. I even saved half a pound.. woo. I don't think they need any promotion in the UK, they're on non-stop tour there, so much that they haven't even done an American tour yet (they've only played shows in NY a couple other cities.. but no tour).

They are coming back by september, the US release date of the physical album. I expect them to not share their UK limelight here, as they're a novelty act in ways.

Can you be positive of that though? I hope they do, I plan to see them a few times if I can. I'm holding out for the US vinyl release, I hope it's not different from the UK one or I'll have to buy both (which I might anyway..).

I don't see them a novelty act myself, do you mean American media's perception of them is as a novelty act? I'm very surprised by their success in the UK to be honest, charting at #16 is fantastic.

I am a huge fan, trust me I'm rather pleased with their UK success. It's just seeming that they were born to be UK stars, seeing their success reminds me of the American band "The Ocean Blue" back in 89-93, not well known but with a strong backing for support. I don't see the tracklist of the album as being any different, and everyone of their releases has had a vinyl accompaniment so far(haven't seen one for the Summertime! EP yet though).

Maybe they could include a poster of the band also as a bonus, something wankable.

Well my guess is they'll include the "forever and ever amen" remixes. They did this with the Aussie release of the Summertime! EP, they axed "I felt stupid" and replaced it with a remix of Let's go surfing, and the bonus track Instruct me.

Hmmmm... think the charting position (which is not that high) is a result of record company hype and probably giving it away on I tunes for next to nothing. they will crash like a stone over next couple of weeks no doubt. No real radio play, so i really can't see them being stars at all. Saw them live supporting Delphic, and without admittedly having heard any of their tracks, i thought they were piss poor. Novelty act sums it up.. Jedward are better.

Delphic went through a similar record company hype earlier this year, but scored far better chart positions with album and singles, and even got on a few TV adverts as well.

Basically, just trying to say that 99.99% of the British public have never heard of them, and the girls are still wearing their knickers. I can see young troubled and sexually confused males attracted to them, so perhaps the poster is a good idea.

Thats rather sad, and here I thought they were huge in the UK. I loved their gig I was at, possibly because I just plain love the music and their personalities, listening the the debut album and this sadly does not sound like something that will get loads of airplay. This may be their achilles heel, but they do wonderful "homages" to New Order especially in this track
