Breaking Records
First we just want to thank ALL of you for your support! A warm hello to fans and friends new and old!
Spring is almost here in the US and we are announcing the upcoming release on March 20th, 2018 of a cover song that hit #10 on Billboards Top 100 in 1984.
With a complete curve ball as we are known to do, it is a Rock/Pop Version of Madonna's Borderline more akin to the version from her 2010 Stick and Sweet Tour. If you follow on our social media you may have heard some sneak preview clips. If not, you can go to our website and all of our social media links are there so you can find the previews!

This song features the vocals of Randy Wayne Belt (Barley Station) on lead vocal and Verity White on leading harmony and both on backing vocals It is an across the pond vocal collaboration between the US and UK.
The photo for the cover is by Veronica Linge Phillips of Veronica Marie Photography. Many thanks to Veronica and Verity for the huge contributions for the song!
On the home front, we continue to work on our 4th full length album and are busy auditioning for our live show and hope to have some live show dates coming up soon!
Meanwhile, we broke records on the Official European Independent Music Chart for weeks at #1. First we broke the chart record,then we broke our own record - twice now with 16 weeks at #1 for our single "Younger Summer Memories"! We wouldn't have guessed that would be the one to do it but it did.
Meanwhile, the song has now entered the U.S. radio market and it's first week out results were incredible! Here are some of the first results:
#1 “Most Added” AC40 on New Music Weekly! (AC40=Adult Contemporary Top 40)
2nd “Most Added” AC40 on National Radio Hits!
3rd “Most Added” FMQB! (FMQB, for those that don't know ((Friday Morning Quarterback)) is an important trade publication since 1968 which covers the Radio and Music industries in the United States.)
Next, we entered the AC40 Indie Chart Debut on NMW (New Music Weekly) at #12!
Then, we hit #40 on the AC40 Chart Debut at NRH (National Radio Hits) And finally, we came in on the AC40 Main Chart Debut at #40 on NMW! (New Music Weekly)
