Too little too late IMO, but good choice on their part.

Um... why wasn't this third? "My Little Secret" was a terrible choice. Atleast this may chart.

Record label probably thought it would be a good idea.

Well, if they wanted to go for a slow song like that, then surely "Let It Go" would have been more appropriate.

I thought "Let It Go" was a single? Or did it just go to Pop?

#28 at Hot AC, and like #49 or #50 on pop. Wikipedia didn't say Hot, just said Adult, and Billboard calls it Adult Pop Songs. I just tried to infer, which was obviously a mistake. I've given up trying to figure out what the fuck chart anyone's talking about anymore. |

I've given up trying to figure out what the f**k chart anyone's talking about anymore. Wikipedia just shortens it to make fit into the little box easier (lol I made the box). Adult (Adult Pop Songs) is the new name for the Hot Adult Contemporary chart (Hot AC for short). I just like saying Hot AC better than Adult. And AC is a different chart; thats why I edited your response. |

My band Bushwhack is actually opening for Cavo this weekend. We're decently heavier than they are, so it's kinda a genre mismatch, but it should be fun nonetheless.

Haha Idk if posting a link to my band's youtube videos would be against the board's rules...I'd sorta be temporarily hijacking the thread for self-promotion. I'll message you a link and if anyone else is curious, send me a message, and I'll send you the music as well. I feel like saying that is still self-promoting, but it's a little less blatant than posting a link to my band in a Cavo thread.
Even though I haven't loved any of Cavo's songs, I'll probably stick around to hear a bit of their set. American Bang and Atom Smash are the other national radio acts on the bill, so I'm not TOO thrilled about any of the main three bands. I did like Atom Smash's single "Sacrifice" a bit. I also didn't dislike Cavo - "Crash" or American Bang's latest single "Whiskey Walk". These bands' other singles haven't done it for me, though I still need to hear "Blame".

And if Reprise could us a tour with the Deftones, I'd be fine with them signing us if the conditions were right. |

We've already had a few topics in the Lounge where posters linked to their singing or beat-making. Comparing spammers to veteran contributors like yourself are apples to oranges. |

^Well in that case :) Anyone who wants to check out my band Bushwhack can do so here. Someone decided to make a youtube playlist of all our songs, which is awesome because that way all I have to do is send out one link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXgt-R1J5Nc&p=7BD2E6F3004A895E&index=1Only the first three songs in the playlist have vocals because we were an all-instrumental band on our first album and only incorporated vocals on our new EP. "Stonewall" and "Morning" are the most 'radio-friendly'. The 4th song is a cover of "Clubbed To Death" from the matrix soundtrack. The instrumental self-titled album has much more variety and a more unique progressive sound than the EP given there were no vocals to create musical interest, but the songs are arguably less catchy or well-structured. If you like Dream Theater or Mars Volta or anything like that though, the instrumental stuff might be more up your alley. Our next full-length album will attempt to reconcile the adventurousness of our instrumental music with the accessibility of our vocal music. If you end up digging it, you can add us either at www.facebook.com/bushwhack or www.myspace.com/bushwhack And hopefully, we'll someday have a single topic on here when we get a song listed with FMQB and start pushing to radio harder. Self-promotion over, and thank you Matt for being cool with this. (Though now I wish we were opening for Linkin Park so I would have had an excuse to put the link in one of their threads instead. A lot more viewers haha). --------- I decided to check out "Blame". I like it better than "Champagne" and "My Little Secret" but no more than "Crash" or "Let It Go". This should at least chart though. |

Mm quite impressed here, Jamie. "Stonewall" sounds like a gem, would especially sound rather tasty if you had the luxury of studio slickness. I take it you're on lead vocals?

Nah, I'm the guitarist and backup vocalist. Our drummer sings lead in the studio, but he doesn't want to permanently. We're currently looking for a lead singer. So if anyone on here wants to be a singer professionally for a progressive alternative metal band (that's the genre we've deemed ourselves) or knows a friend who is a killer singer, PLEASE tell me.

speaking of "My Little Secret", I don't think it ever reached the top 50 in Active
