Our debut EP was released on 22nd July 2011, and went straight to the top of amazon.co.uk MP3 charts.
Amazon:
#1 in Classic Rock
#1 in Hard Rock & Metal
#92 in Top 100 MP3 Albums
With an initial push from Facebook and Twitter we manged to reach #1 in the ‘Hard Rock & Metal’ and ‘Classic Rock’ MP3 charts on Amazon. For one week we even broke into the top 100 mp3 downloads, managing to break out of our genre and mix it up with the likes of ga ga, goo goo, and whomever the fuck else.
For a first time release from an unsigned band with no money for advertising, it’s a hell of an achievement. And a ringing endorsement for what can be accomplished via the power of social media. Hell, if Twitter can bring down dictatorships, it’s ability to promote a little old rock band like us is really no surprise, right?!
