Lead track from album three out next week from Billboard.
Not a huge fan, but I do have the second album. From the two times I've heard this, it reminds me of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

Yeah, many bands do to promote the new album. But this is the one getting the attention after the noise dies down.

I liked "Hail To The Geek" a lot actually and thought it's lyrics were hilarious, and I remember listening to their album after I thought "Splatter" and "15 Beers Ago" were decent and I couldn't get through more than a few songs without turning away from the album altogether.
I thought I'd have to ask... how in the hell do they sound like The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus? They're completely different bands.

Well it's one song. It's also Artie.

You forget, to Art, everything is a single.

Way too many examples. My CD rack is littered with promo discs featuring 3-5 new songs from upcoming albums. Just about everyone promotes this way.

I don't think promo discs are the same thing as radio singles. I also think you know this otherwise you would give a specific example.

I agree with pen. I stated exactly what I wanted out of you artie, and you STILL tried avoiding it.

I have hundreds of them, but I can cite the last three if that helps since I haven't filed them yet.
Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe 2 has the singles Sick Bubble-gum, Burn, What?, and Jesus Frankenstein as well as DJ "callouts" for What? and Sick Bubble-gum. 30 second portions of the rest of the album (I assume it's the entire album) are on there.
Contra (Vampire Weekend) has Cousins, Horchata, and Run, most likely the singles from the album. It also has 60 second snips of the rest of the album tracks.
7daybinge has End Of The Road and Free. It also has 8 other snippets under a minute each. Doesn't seem like the entire album though.
Obviously, most or all bands send out promos to radio to get their future singles early airplay. You see this reflected in chart numbers all of the time. Please don't ask for examples, I thought we all knew that.?.

Hm. That's as maybe, but I believe the difference is that those bands are getting radio pumped for the album and aren't really expecting all those songs to be spun, whereas Deaf Pedestrians have literally released four songs to radio. FMQB has them all for adds this week. Rob Zombie, for example, is only pushing Sick Bubble-gum on radio because that's the official single, and Vampire Weekend with Cousins. For Deaf Pedestrians, all four songs are official singles.

I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same things. Most artists send their promo discs with the lead single featured, and future possible singles. They all eventually go for airplay, but record label would blow the entire wad on before the album is out. They'd be competing with themselves, which never works. I'd bet anything I Hate This Place is on the cover of the disc, with any others you saw listed also on the disc.

No, I'm saying that on FMQB, which usually only lists one single per artist, you know, the right singles, there are four listed for Deaf Pedestrians. All four songs are going for adds this week. I know what you're saying, now listen to what I'm saying.

Wait a sec. There's actually six, now that I look more closely.
"I Hate This Place" and "Ode To It" are both going for adds on both Active and Alternative.
"Mrs. Mantis" and "Dharma Moraine's Automatic Armor" are going for adds just on Alternative.
"Tick" and "Lament Of The Goat" are going for adds just on Active.
Jesus Christ.
