The band is all set to sign with Universal. They're currently working on their debut album (tunelab). "Bury Me Alive" appears just to be used as a taster for things to come.

FMQB finally reports an add date for March 1st, with the title of song TBD. Not sure if it's worth starting a new thread, might as well just add the title to this when it comes.

I kind of hope they don't pick Bury Me Alive. I hear they re-recorded it and re-mixed it, but I don't think that song would be a strong first single to push to Alternative and Active. Plus, it's really been out for almost 6 months. I think people are actually excited to hear something new. I have a feeling that whatever song has this solo in it, will be the first single.

it's official:
Bury Me Alive will be the debut single. It's now available on their MySpace. Look for it digitally February 2nd and on radio a month later.

what happened with them releasing a song a month and all that? We never heard from them again- very strange.

I don't think this is going to do much.

They remastered the song and you can hear that at the new official website: www.wearethefallen.com. The mix of the original song was a bit muffled.

This song is very good. I'm impressed. Even more so than when I heard the originally many months ago. This song deserves top 10 at both rock formats.

what happened with them releasing a song a month and all that? We never heard from them again- very strange. I honestly think a band that focused on one song for a month could be successful. The material would be better. The band would get a nice little break from touring to record it. And the end result would be cheaper. Fans would get a kick out of it, too. You wouldn't have to wait for new material. It would turn an album-based system into a series-based system. I think the iPod "shuffle" age is going to render collected albums useless anyway. I'm to the point where when I buy a new album, I listen to it in shuffled conjunction with the rest of my collection. Helps give me perspective on what is good and what ain't. Granted, it would be tricky to promote, because you can't send a single out to radio every month in today's markets.

Smashing Pumpkins and Ash are both doing this and it pisses me off because I happen to like having songs in a collection, and having to wait until everything's released to have that collection is even worse than just waiting on an album, because I don't like to listen to songs as singles, I like to listen to albums, and I would rather not have a bunch of scattered songs that don't go anywhere. I know that's just my luck because what you say about albums is sort of true, but not for everyone, and especially not me.

I think they went in with the idea that if they didn't get signed that the 2 songs every two months deal could have probably happened. That being said, Bury Me Alive and the article that came out when they became a band was enough to get them noticed. How many bands do you hear about getting a feature in USA Today when they form? Not very many.

I'm not sure what else they expected. They had to know as soon as they announced themselves, the gauntlet would be thrown.

I want to say I agree with you, but at the same time I loved getting Weezer's album piece by piece via the itunes pass. Basically I'd get a couple songs a week and then I got the full album on release day. Then I got some covers and live tracks in the following weeks.

That's fine, but Pumpkins and Ash are talking about big, grandiose year-long projects and that I don't like. And I'm sure you know my loathing for Celldweller's method of attack. I want an album dammit.

So the song supposedly already went for adds, yet it hasn't gotten any at either format other than sirius octane a little while ago. And according to fmqb it went for adds this week, and got 0 adds on both. Are they holding this single back or is radio just not at all interested? I find the latter hard to believe...

The video is out. It actually looks cheap and dated. I think the song is pretty good. It just seems weird to me because I do like Carly, but I also loved Evanescence. The video and images from this era are like Evanescence, but Carly instead of Amy. There's even parts of the song where she sounds like she's trying to mimic Amy. Its coming off weird... Especially since they actually have a similar appearance. I feel like I'm watching some weird movie where somebody died and they're trying to replace them with some cloned robot.

I didn't. We already have an Evanescence. And Amy didn't exactly light the world on fire for very long the last time around and that was 3 years ago.
(And, yes, I know the story of this band.)

I expected this to be bigger just because of the success Ben Moody has had as a pop songwriter, and I just assumed that this would feel to program/music directors more like the original Evanescence than Evanescence's second album did. With Flyleaf and Paramore having the success that they've had, perhaps the alt/rock world doesn't need a female-fronted goth metal band when it has a female-fronted bands of more currently popular genres.

I didn't expect this kind of performance from this song. I thought it would either become a good-sized hit or flop all together, not dwindle around the 30 to 35 positions like a Lacuna Coil song.
