RAINS, "Look In My Eyes"

[(Artie Ziff)]

Fort Wayne's favorite band returns next week with their first single from the new album. Haven't heard.

[jvandyck87]

I'm pretty sure this was the second single off their last album. Am I wrong about this? Either that or Sirius Octane and Music Choice Rock just played this a bunch two years ago.

[lockebox]

Nah, you're right. This was one of the more memorable tracks on their previous album.

[(Artie Ziff)]

Weird. Maybe it's a different version?

[lockebox]

Possibly a re-recored/revamped version. We've seen bands do it before.

[jvandyck87]

I loved "Liar" so I'd love to see that get a legitimate radio push now as well.

[(Artie Ziff)]

I can't think of any examples, but it makes sense in this case.

^ Art of Dying recently re-recorded half of their previous album. Egypt Central re-recorded a whole album.

[(Artie Ziff)]

Don't know about either of those, but I meant I couldn't think of any examples of singles that were taken from a previous album and released as a new recording later.

^ Art of Dying's "Get Through/Thru This." It was originally released in 2008, reached Top 50, then died. It got re-released as the second single on Art of Dying's new album, and it's currently Top 50 (or 40, I'm not sure).

Goes for adds September 13th (fmqb)

For no reason that I know of, the lead singer of Rains just liked my band Bushwhack's facebook page and my personal musician page. How awesome is that!? *is very excited*

[American Idiot]

Heard this yesterday on Sirius XM's Octane and was quite impressed by how good this is not knowing what exactly it was when the song started.

Too many examples to list. The most recognizable to you would probably be Anberlin with "Feel Good Drag." As it is, this is actually being released as the second single from their debut album.

Sounds like he's been reading this thread. ;)

[(Artie Ziff)]

Just heard the last few days. Pretty impressed with this song.
