EHM The Blue Line

Kick ass!! Our first single, 'Wrong Way Johnny' was released today on Prophecy Records. Big thanks of course to the TDG boys who have worked so hard to make the band what it's become. You guys are the best.

We really appreciate the help of to the fabulous Michael Carr of the Lords of Jah who produced the single for us. Undying gratitude and thanks to Stephan at Prophecy for taking us under his wing and answering my newbie questions. Last but not least to the unofficial 6th man in the TDG crew, my boss Mr. Luke Hall whose advice has helped the band tremendously.

Wrong Way Johnny

The single features 'Wrong Way Johnny' by April Sherwood and 'Forced' by Jeb Hughes.

The record has gotten a review of 'Awesome' and recieved three stars! I'm not sure how many band's first singles have gotten reviews that good, I see a LOT of 1 star reviews when checking out band pages after people have booked shows at PITH.

Rock on amigos!!!!

Yeah... we rock! LOL!

Jeb celebrated the long awaited sucessful release of our first single by getting drunk on a few bottles of good ole Canadian Whiskey.

Congrats guys!

Jeb drinking? Oh, the shock!

I think we all deserve a drink.............

Almost 20,000 copies of 'Johnny' were sold in it's first week of release!

That includes the Christmas boost so we probably won't sell that many again next week but it's still pretty darn impressive I think. It has also taken us to the very edge of the Top 200 in punk as we're now at #201

I'm betting we'll crack the Top 200 within a week. I'm thinking we should get a decent amount of sales once we do our upcoming shows in Germany and England. I'm hoping at least.

Congrats guys!

You're doing hell of a hard good work and it's cool to see that you have what you deserve for that

Here at Never Dies, we're only smoothly knocking at the top 800 door...

Well, it's better than the 1600 door you were scratchin around before the tour

Lol

No, we weren't that bad I don't remember exactly where we were just before the tour, but i know that i became the band leader while we were around the 1200th spot. So it's still around 400 places in about a month

And i think we were just under the 1000th spot before the tour starts.

Our single in it's second week has pushed sales to almost 28,000

Congrats!

I'm one of the buyers

Well, i bought a single, even if we can't choose which one it is, but the intention was to buy yours You guys rock!

Well, I believe all the sales are in for the third week of our single

Thanks I actually designed it 500x500: http://home.comcast.net/~maxverbose/WWJ.jpg

The middle is just our band banner... I might see what CatchUp can do for us for our next one

^^^ I'm your guy. I'll even cut you a deal.

I can see it now, he'll start selling album art in return for you guys teaching him all your skills

Well, I've actually been given Popo money for banners in-game; I've never "sold" them like saying "I'll make you a banner if you pay me" but people have offered I've made somewhere round 30 grand all told as I just got 18 for one.

Well, after four weeks our first single 'Wrong Way Johnny' being for sale:

Copies sold: 39223

We had great help from producer Michael Gardner in London and top notch performances by the boys for our latest release. Like 'Johnny' I happy to report that the single recieved 3 Stars and a rating of 'Awesome'!

TDG's follow up single "Empires of Eternal Void" is now available!

The title track and B-Side track 'Unsociety' were both written by Jeb Hughes and it features badass coverart by Palmer Haskins (who also designed the hot new TDG band banner to match!).

Another job well done boys!

We'll see how sales go next week about this time with our first sales update but I expect great things of course.

That's more than we've sold total of our first single! Touring help sell records!

I really need to call upong the esteemed Emoticon Reperatory Theater to recreate my trying to get our third single recorded so we could start practicing for our video:



Yeah, that sums it up. Sorry about this guys, I've tried to plan it the best I could and even got a second 5 star producer for the 12:00 slot today, but both are leaving town this evening and now the 12:00 slot has been taken just like the 16:00 slot was taken that started this avalanche of

So, I'm waiting to get advice from Stephan who runs our label. Please see my copious ramblings in our Band Journal for full details.

Well, Stephan suggested we try again, so I got another producer from the 5 star producers list on the forum who can help us so we're back on for a 20:00 slot I booked for us.

How popular was your song before you released it? I'm very tempted to dabble in releasing a song once I get back to NY next weekend.
