I've been sitting on this song, waiting to use it for a while... only because it's release date kept getting pushed back.
Anberlin is on their 4 major release (5th if you include their B-Sides album) and are finally finding major commercial success... which is rare, since most record labels won't keep putting money into you if you don't sell like gangbusters on your first album or two. The band released their first 3 albums on indie label Tooth & Nail, then moved to major label Universal. Under Universal's umbrella of uh... having more money than Tooth & Nail to promote them, they've taken off.
"The Feel Good Drag," the lead-off single to their latest album, "New Surrender" was a slow climber, and looked to be fading off, so back in January, the label announced "Breaking" as the next single. But "The Feel Good Drag" kept climbing...and climbing, so "Breaking" kept getting pushed back. Finally "The Feel Good Drag" hit #1, so it was time for it to fade...but the song continues to hand around in the Top 10 of the Alternative chart. Finally, "Breaking" has another radio release date, and I don't feel like sitting on this great track already.
Today's best music blog entry is from Anberlin. Here's "Breaking."
