It'll be interesting to see how Wind-Up promotes this.
Wind-Up has certainly become a more interesting label in the past five years than they used to be when they just kept cycling in new hard rock bands all the time. I mean, they still have Creed, Evanescence, Seether, Finger Eleven, 12 Stones, and Papercut Massacre to appeal to that end, but now they also have Cartel, Hawthorne Heights, Endless Hallway, and Tickle Me Pink for the punk scene; Eric Durrance for country; Pilot Speed, People In Planes, Stars Of Track And Field, Jeremy Fisher, and Company Of Thieves for the indie crowd; and Thriving Ivory, Push Play, Megan McCauley, Emily Osment, The Queen Killing Kings, and Civil Twilight for the pop crowd.
They've become a far more diverse label than they were before. I'm actually proud of them.

This sounds good, but very poppy almost like a Boys Like Girls song. I think if Wind-Up is going to promote it, they're honestly better off sending it to Pop than to Alternative and blowing up the video on Fuse or whatnot.

I'd say the same thing and I haven't even listened to the clip. There's a real chance for them right now. "Wasted" would have been a huge hit in this summer of '09.

They're sending it to CHR as well on the same day.

It still feels trippy to hear them on Madden.

I like it but I think it's a bit weak for a 1st single. Chroma is a great album. Never got into Cartel though. Hopefully Cycles will at least be a bit better than that one.
I must say I love their vocalist's voice.
Oh, and why even bother sending this to Alternative? It's not difficult to predict how it will perform.

I really like this group when I first heard them in '05. unfortunately they haven't really done anything to catch my attention since and this is paint by numbers pop/punk that I don't think will do much on rock radio. I find myself drifting farther from the pop/punk sound these days. It has to be something really catchy because it all seems to be melting into each other.
