Our album should be out April 2011. Of course I will spam it again by then

We also seek a booking agency and we already have contacts to produce a more professional music video, so we 'should' only go up from here.

In the past we did do English songs (in a different formation/band), but as DarkFish already said, it's hard to compete with English songs because of artists from England/US (and anywhere else) and then there's pronounciation and lack of English vocabulary (which will usually lead to silly, simple lyrics), so that will always a challenge. Dutch songs isn't easier per se to score a hit with, since many Dutch people prefer English songs over Dutch, but we still believe there's a niche for our music. We only need the break

Stick with what makes you guys happy as your base; the listeners will follow. I can't speak word one of the Dutch language, but that doesn't prevent me from liking your sound and presence. And who knows? Maybe I'll learn something else along the way.

You guys have a very clean, clear sound - not at all cluttered with background crap and useless fills - and I like that. I'm looking forward to hearing more!

I spent years trying to do what you have going.
(There was no Internet to help then)
And finally gave up.

I have not played a Guitar in over 15 years!
I could tell some scary stories and great stories of my years with Bands.
But even I can't believe some of them.


Drive on Mate!

I LOVE your sound and will figure out the words sooner or later.

Is there no end to your talents?

Great sound, don't need to know the translation - will get it from iTunes when I'm back in work next week, and I'll get my youtube/google account sorted to post reply

Maybe some songs in English, but not all - got to keep some air of mystery

love it, but maybe in videos you should put english subtitles? thatll help me enjoy all aspects of the song. even though i already know what your singing about, thanks to darkfish.

But great job.
