I've some interesting news that I had to leave behind due to the server upgrade. I'll try to claw them back in a couple of posts. First of all, the mandatory
Blue October news: their upcoming emotion drenched single, "
The Feel Again (Stay)", has been chosen as the soundtrack to the closing film for this year’s three day (31st Oct – 2nd Nov)
UK Radio Festival. "The Feel Again (Stay)", a powerful, poignant song about loss and heartbreak, is the perfect musical backdrop to an obit film which looks back and remembers all the people from the radio industry who have passed away in the last twelve months. Speaking of the texan band, I can confirm that their last american tour partners
IAmDynamite will be the opening band of the upcoming Blue October's german shows.
