Well, so far, Dave tried SPV/Inside Out, Snapper and Sanctuary, while I
tried Voiceprint, who suggested Talking Elephant which I havn't tried as it
seemed unlikely.
T be fair to the band - which I am often accused of not being - I can
understand why, if they do have BIG plans afott for the release of a single
and album in terms of promotion, that they are keeping plans under wraps
until the timing is EXACT. You think about it - if they really do plan a
coordinated campaign witht he video on MTV or VH1, the single out in the
shops and more publicity than you could shake a stick at, the last thing
they want is someone like me getting in there first and muddying the waters
for them.
But, that said, until someone trusts me enough to tell me what's going on
but to stay quiet, then I guess I'll go on speculating as we all will - as
Bruce Forsyth once sed (and this will be lost on our overseas friends) -
"good game, good game" - lol
