The 3 singles/videos released from the album to date. ‘State Of Affairs’, ‘Traditions’ and ‘Fluorescent’ have gained extensive airplay on both national and regional radio. ‘State Of Affairs’ video has received nearly 10,000 youtube views and counting, the video to ‘Traditions’ was banned by Youtube and ‘Fluorescent’ was named as Today FM’s daily download on Tony Fenton’s show along with the band also recording a session for the Paul Mcloone show on Today FM.
