Did you know KUPD plays TFK's "Rawkfist"? Not only that, but they played it 40 times last week. That ties it for second-most played song on their playlist reported to Radio & Records. Scary!
Oh, but hopefully they'll add Skillet's "Savior" now that it's been released to their format (active rock). And speaking if Skillet, who's re-releasing Collide on Lava Records next month, I think it's pretty pitiful how mainstream labels refuse to acknowledge that Christian labels exist and have good bands.
Observe Skillet's signing press release from Lava: "Already firmly established in the independent marketplace, Skillet are ready to conquer alternative and rock radio..."
And Switchfoot's Columbia-fied bio says, "The Beautiful Letdown comes three years after Switchfoot's third independently-released and critically acclaimed album Learning To Breathe."
Well, Skillet and Switchfoot come from Christian labels, so you mainstream PR peeps need to just suck it up and deal! :)
7:49p ยป By the way, congratulations to Skillet/Saucepan for releasing their first single to mainstream this week and having it be the #2 Most Added on R&R's Active Rock chart. And I give them mucho props for re-releasing their first Christian release off of Collide, "Savior", and not picking some other song. :)
