We’ve got room. I sent an invite to your email. We only have 7 teams right now. We had 10 last year and have had at least 12 in the past. Would like at least 10 if possible. I can’t remember which teams are missing from last year. Neemo is one I think, not sure about the other two. If anyone can remember or find out, let me know and I’ll try to track them down. I can’t seem to access league history on my phone and I’m away until tomorrow.

The video is up to over 920k views on YouTube & 63k likes. Seems like a very solid # of views for 2 days, not sure about the likes to views ratio. I have no data to say how good that is in comparison to others. #21 trending video, although I can’t figure out how to get a list to see what’s ahead or behind it. Single is at #12 on iTunes now as another country artist (Morgan Wallen) and whoever/whatever the hell Jelly Roll is, moved past them. #1 on the Rock chart. Video is still #5. Hasn’t registered on any Spotify charts yet from what I can tell.

Could be that they learned from past mistakes I guess. Been trying to figure out what makes this release different than the other 2. Absurd was unexpected & an odd choice for a 1st single. Maybe it was just to test the waters? I get why there wasn’t much promo behind that. But Hard School deserved more. Maybe they thought they didn’t need to put in the work? Found out it wasn’t that easy, so here we are. I guess that makes sense.

As for an album, I’d love one but I’m still not convinced. Once they release The General, we’ll have 1/3 of an album already. Even more if you include Eye on You, State of Grace, Atlas Shrugged, Oh My God? It’d be an odd approach at releasing an album a little at a time but maybe they feel this way they make money off the digital releases first & then a physical release at the end. Kind of like they did with the 1st two singles & these next two. I didn’t buy the last EP & don’t have a need for the upcoming LP, but I’ve bought each single individually & would certainly fork over the $15 for a new album if that time comes. As long as it comes in CD form. If it’s digital only, I’d just buy the songs I don’t already have. Still trying to figure out the new age of buying music and I’m sure they’re still learning how to release it.

The barely saying anything about the song is still annoying, I’m with you there and unfortunately don’t expect that to change. But regardless of what you think of the song, to get an honest to god full fledged music video was a shocking surprise. Have to give them props for that. I like the song. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s catchy. I just hope this is a sign that they’re finally taking things more seriously and ready to act like an actual modern day band. Well, as much as they can at least. Baby steps.
