I think we're going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth

This is Not a Love Story, It's a Story About Love
Thanks to an anonymous friend out there, I was reminded of the amazing teaser trailer for 500 Days of Summer. Shorter than the official full-length I posted yesterday, but equally as powerful thanks to Temper Trap, and their single "Sweet Disposition." The Melbourne (and soon to be London) based band is beyond buzzworthy. Just this March they completed their debut album, rocked a bunch of US cities, and inspired a fan campaign to get them SXSW placement. After playing the bigger than life V Festival in Australia this month, they guys will head to Europe to promote both their new single "Science of Fear" and perhaps take over the world.
The monumental ‘Science of Fear’ is the band’s debut UK single and is already registering spins on the BBC’S Radio 1 playlist, whilst also spending five consecutive weeks on Australian tastemaker station Triple J’s most played list. This eye of the perfect ‘musical’ storm contrasts markedly with the hypnotic and gliding melodic spell of ‘Sweet Disposition’, but is equally a watershed mark for the act and further confirmation of this band’s refusal to be stymied by genre, expectation or any such ties that bind so many others on this brilliant album.
Just a few words honored guests... MP3s or MP3 links are posted for sampling purposes only, and therefore are only available for a limited time. If anyone needs a link removed, email me at lcruz09@cmc.edu, and I will remove it immediately.
If you like what you hear on Umbrellas, I encourage you to support these worship-worthy artists by buying their tunes, merch, and all-out stalking them if a restraining order should not prevent you.
If you are in a band, or represent an artist looking to get a little free hype/promotion, feel free to e-mail me your tracks as well. I'm all ears.
