Our single DIY has officially debuted at #5 in US Specialty radio charts, tied with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. As our mum asked, “is that good?” Yes, it’s quite good! We’ve charted above Johnny Cash, Cypress Hill and Gorillaz.
With the progression of our radio campaign we at least hope to tie with She & Him, who currently hold the #2 spot, at which point we’ll consider changing our name to “Them Two & The Other One”, or perhaps “Us & Nico”. Read the radio report here. It’s exactly as dry as it sounds! http://www.fmqb.com/specialty.asp

So, who knows – perhaps you’ll be throwing away a half-eaten vegan hot dog into Luke’s artwork… and getting shouted at, because this is a RECYCLING bin! Trash goes in the other one!

One group reviewing another for a popular music magazine, but as a comic book? Does this qualify as pop eating itself? Or just Pop (Noir) drawing themselves? You be the judge!
