    it's great...
    all radio commercial stations are now legally obliged to spin our single in accordance of playing chart music...
    The MK-II single Brand New Star has entered the irish charts at 27 this week and hopefully with a bit of luck and your support we can make it climb higher this week...if you haven't bought it yet, please go out and buy it this week in your local HMV store or Tower Records or Road Records...it's only 3 quid and you're doing your part to squash the stagnant irish pop culture !!!
    Cheers,
    Chris

    it looks like this and has a cool video on it too, filmed around dublin, you may even see yourself in it !!!

    I am Monkey....I'm the lead guitarist...
    By Legally Obliged, I mean that all commercial radio stations that play chart music will have to play us at some point during a chart week...apparently !!!
    That could of course mean once....or it could mean simply a mention or a sample or if pested enough with texts....it could mean very regular spins !!!
    Either way, get buying & texting !!! :D

    I was playing guitar for the lads for a while...was an 'amacable', I'm sure I spelled that wrong, decision that I leave, though I'll probably be playin' guitar with them again in blotooth for a few shows fairly soon !!!
    Well cheers for diggin' our single, our album will be out in the coming months, send a mail to info@mark2.com if you'd like us to keep you up to date with what we are doing !!!
    Take Care...

    does that include a spin at like 3AM, because otherwise it seems a bit pointless really...

    congratulations anyway. will check it out, promise!

    Congratulations guys, I've been hoping for this breakthrough for you for sooo long. And I never minded giving you a spin even before I was legally obliged to :)

    Now, any chance of a re-issue of "No Return" to get that in the charts too?

    Hahaha...Sure dude....actually, that was done for the album and sounds seriously good...though clocks in at just under 5 mins....doesn't that rule it out as a single ???
    Tellin' ya man, times have changes, GN'R could release November Rain (8:13) and have it played everywhere only 10 years ago....****...was that really over ten years ago...I'm gettin' old !!! :confused:
