Their name had lead me to believe this was a Day To Remember-type band, but this was a nice surprise. Kinda sounds like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.

I like this! And yes it's very Magnetic Zeros-ish even a little Arcade Fire hidden there too, I think this can do decent and perform like 'Home'

There's a band out there called Of Mice and Men that's probably not too far removed from A Day to Remember, so I get where you're coming from, even though I instantly knew more what to expect, as my first awareness of this song was its out-of-nowhere debut on the AAA chart the other week. A nice surprise, indeed, and I'm sure most of our first reference points in this forum are, in fact, going to be Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. |

Oh; oops. I downloaded it on Tuesday morning and grabbed Safetysuit's Tuesday afternoon after it had refreshed.  I've actually had this song for quite a while, but apparently I had the album version or something--the version that was free last week is the single version and it's slightly different. |

Looks like it's already the biggest song to come out of Iceland since 1994 when Björk's "Army Of Me" hit #18, now that it has outpeaked the #23 set by Quarashi's "Stick 'Em Up" in 2002.
Next in line:
The Sugarcubes - "Walkabout" (1992): #16
Björk - "Big Time Sensuality" (1994): #5
Björk - "Human Behavior" (1993): #2
The Sugarcubes - "Hit" (1991): #1
Am I missing anyone here?

I didn't like this as much as I hoped I would. And maybe someday Sigur Rós can chart on alternative. Maybe if Jónsi wrote a song with English lyrics while still having their signature ambient sound, they'd have a shot at the alternative charts. Otherwise, nothing from Iceland that I've heard has wowed me recently.

This is all right, basically a watered-down version of Arcade Fire and Head and the Heart if they actually drank some coffee.
It's better than most out there but I don't see this heading anywhere outside of AAA.
Album is "just okay"

Any idea if this will get pushed as a Hot AC add? I've heard it in regular rotation on KTWN out of Edina, MN.

Their album is looking to debut very nicely. It was front page on iTunes and high on the Amazon charts last I checked.

I enjoy this song a lot. They honestly remind me a lot of Mumford & Sons with a girl singer as well.

Awesome! Weird thing is that it took Gotye's place at #1, while on my personal chart this week, Gotye took #1 back from "Little Talks"! |

Going for HAC adds on June 25! Hoping to see this eventually become a hit here as well.

If Mumford could get some airplay, I don't see why this can't go at least Top 30.

I've been torn on this one for awhile now. Some days I love it, and some days it kind of annoys me.
I absolutely love the video though.
