This is because I think some people here have some doubts about whether or not radio fans will accept Eisley. So let's compile a list of bands you didn't think could make it with a mass audience, and now have or are well on their way. In other words, bands you have heard on the radio that you didn't expect to.

For me:
Modest Mouse
Snow Patrol
Rise Against

i never doubted really that eisley would be a success, they'll do something, whether or not they sell millions upon millions of cds and start headling massive stadium world tours in the next year or two i won't say, but they'll be plenty successful

Eisley has already is a "Huge" band...they only have 2 eps out, and already have a Huge/loyal fanbase. And I've always believed eisley will keep on growing, because their music can be enjoyed by everyone, just look at the different tastes in music this forum has(although a lot are the same, but thats in a big way BECAUSE of the forum)

eisley will be big, because they already are...does that make sense?

That's a good point. What other bands have had such a relatively huge (and definitely dedicated) fanbase before they've even put out their first LP/national radio single?

I found that "La La" song to be pretty catchy the first few times I heard it.
