This idea of giving a release date so far away from when it's announced is so archaic...the album is out there, it's been out there for weeks and weeks now, but the people willing to part with cash for it have to wait. Especiallly when the promotional leadup is so poorly executed...they may as well release it (at least digitally) now.

Seriously, the amount of "blogs" that have gotten review access is astounding.

It was off Ocean Rain btw, that sample.

+1 If I remember well, Nicky also mentioned them as a favourite band of the moment and Serge being a good songwriter.

It's an easy talking point for an interviewer I agree but the band handle it very well.

Well I enjoyed it and learnt one or two things despite knowing a fair bit though I'm sorry if you were dissapointed, it was poor on the part of the site.

I think you're being stupid A bit of waiting has never killed anyone (says the most impatient person ever!)....

i find it shocking anyone buys singles, they get played in May and released in September sometimes, who would go and buy it after a few months of getting used to it?

Those people who have kept KOL's Sex On Fire in the iTunes top 100 two years after release. It has 'sex' in the title, get over it, people!
