Going to all rock radio next week according to Billboard.
A very "world" music sound like Ra with better lyrics. I picked up the CD for basically nothing. This sounds like the standout track to me.

HOLY SHIT!!! Artie, I hope you're not lying!!!! FMQB, confirm this shit!!!
I heard this song in a song contest and it's one of my favorites of all time. This song deserves to be huge. These guys are from Australia and totally kick ass.
Sorry, I'm just really excited, cuz this song is ridiculously good.

This is weird. Because for one, this is from an album that came out in 2005. In Australia. And the band is actually on hiatus and has been since 2007. So......why would this go for adds? Did somebody somewhere lose their mind?

So supposedly this song already went for adds, but as of a few days ago, this had 0 total plays in the quick cut data. Can anybody give me a source that is checkable to confirm that this is indeed a current US single?

FMQB says no, AllAccess says no, and the band is still on indefinite hiatus. I'd say the odds of this having actually gone for adds are next to nothing.

Okay, well Mr. Smarty, can you explain why it would be going for adds?

Okay, after looking up the label responsible for this, I think I've figured this out. Before they went on hiatus in 2007, the band must've given U.S. distribution rights of their 2005 album, Ambush On All Sides, to a really really indie label called Sunset Recordings. Sunset finally released the band's album in the States in March of last year. And I guess they're finally trying to "promote" it.

What I don't understand is why the single is going for adds according to R&R at "Rock" without going for adds at Active or Alternative, which are much more important.

I don't know. I'm not sure why this label cares about promoting a band that can't tour and can't release new material.

The song does sound like a huge hit to be fair. But none of their other songs do, which on top of everything you said makes them an artist not worth promoting. I would be really happy if this was a hit at US radio.

I think it's their best shot on the CD.
