Heartland

Maybe, just maybe with the likes of Gary Numan and Killing Joke reappearing in the charts (and TOTP in GN's case for Chrissake!) it will mean The Sisters will get a record deal. Then we'll get some relief from the dirge that is the charts these days. But perhaps I shouldn't try to get people's and my hopes up.

Just a thought.

I think the delay isn't down to lack of music industry interest, it's due to the industry not wanting to put it's money where it's mouth is. Trend-making has very much become trend-following. A lot of the pop music around now is based on a very old (in marketing terms) nineties formula - girl bands and boy bands for 12-year olds, where each member has a 'very distinctive' persona (think Scooby Gang), and, for our 'rebellious' 12-year-olds, we have two brands. The first is the Alanis-Clone (Misses Lavigne, Studt, Apple, etc), and the other is the Rage Agains the Machine-Lite of nu-'metal'. All you can hope is that some of the wee boys into the latter bother to branch out into the less manufactured versions of rock. Who knows. I HAVE seen wee boys in Sisters shirts...

Gary Numans last album was mint. Best thing he's done for ages. Very dark and very heavy.
