They didn't have EPs to sell at the show? Seriously? Of all the screwups Eisley have had to endure during their signed career, that has to be the worst. princesstripandfall wrote: tahruh wrote: And no tour bus. They seem to be f-ing them over. I honestly see mainstream success with 'The Valley', so I'm not sure why they're dropping the ball as they seem to have with them. A lot of bands don't have tour busses.  Eisley did on their last headlining tour. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Buses are flipping expensive to rent or buy, but yeah, this EP thing is a royal screwjob. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I just don't even get how that happens. Ridiculous, if you ask me. |

I might be mistaken but isn't the upcoming album the third and last album under contract with WB? I hope that's the case. _________________ Kulvir. |

I don't know specifically about Eisley's sales, but from what I gather, they'd probably be able to make more than $100,000 per album if they did everything independently. _________________ EvilSpace |

Okay, on an optimistic note, maybe they're trying to correct the Away We Go problem, and doing a rush job reprinting CDs. YES, I know that is VERY Generous of me.  _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

^Yep, they didn't have to reprint EPs. WB just didn't send the buggers on time for the first show. _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me. Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism." -- Rainer Maria Rilke |

Got my wires crossed about with GB Demo was on the physical EP... my bad. Chalk it up to my not going to a show and assuming I won't get one, so not even paying the track listing for it any detailed mind. _________________ yup, that's my name.

Sure they have the know-how, but they sure couldn't spend a whole month at a professional studio tinkering around with the assistance of professional engineers, technicians, and session musicians. I know some people like their nickel-and-dime approach on the self-made EPs, but I think Eisley songs deserve a bigger & better treatment. I love all the sounds on 'Combinations' and I love what they've produced so far with 'Ambulance' and 'The Valley.' Furthermore, they seem to enjoy that freedom to expand their horizons - those Fire Kite tracks are as Eisley worked them, before any WB mixer has stepped in. As long as they have the opportunity to make the kind of music they want to make, I'm all for their decisions. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |
