Anyone know how Blind is doing? I can't see it on Itunes as being in their charts. Is it really doing that badly? Is it my imagination or do they start promoting their songs too early? I'm just wondering if this has something to do with it or do all bands start promoting new songs as early?

Hurts - Blind EP

Really?? I think Theo has a lovely voice. It sounds beautiful singing Help from their album Exile especially. I guess it's all subjective - it'd be pretty boring if we all liked the same things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElAJCRBs0tg

Not so keen on that cover. My favourite is the one of Bruno Mars - Locked out of Heaven. A great cover.

I always thought Stay by Hurts didn't chart anywhere near as high as it should have. I always think if it had been written or sung by a band like Take That it would have charted similarly to Rule the World. I'm hoping maybe someone will sing it on X Factor and give it the recognition it deserves.

Ooh..that's harsh to tell you to do that! lol You never know they may make it within the top 100. It must be frustrating for them that Europe "gets" them but the UK simply don't.

Great video! It seems strange seeing Theo in a red jacket. I've never seen him in any colour apart from black and white. lol I really hope this does well for them.

It's a good job we all have different tastes in music. :lol: I'd say bland is the last thing the album is. The only track I really don't like is The Crow because it sounds too much like Chris Izaak's Wicked Game. Interview on BBC breakfast yesterday:

By the time I got on there they only had Standing left and me and hubby are taking my dad, uncle and aunt who all love Hurts, but are getting on a bit and can't stand for long. Work told me I can't have the day off, but I do three out of four weekends for them so I'm ashamed to say I had a go at the boss (who I then found out had been told her job's in consultation that day). Talk about feeling like a real sh!t for throwing a wobbly after hearing that. Anyway, the upshot is they've agreed to let me leave off early. Ooh... I don't know. Fab song and would make a great single, but I also love Help too. There's some cracking tunes on the album.

I do think their record company should be shot. They don't seem to have a clue about how to market them here. There was all that stuff with the video for Miracle being pulled because it upset people due to religious references. It was then re-shot and tbh I could have probably shot a better video myself and I'm cr@p at getting a camera to even focus.

Oh, that's a shame. No Help or Sandman :( For those of you trying to get tickets to the Troxy. By 9.10 it looked like everyone had sold out apart from the thieving sods at places like Getmein. Gigs and tours still have some spare seats.

Digital Spy are saying Hurts - Blind is being released 12 May, so not sure which is now correct.

I agree. My favourite is the first half too. Though I love Help too - that's a beautiful song.

Hurts are releasing their second single from Exile on 15 April called Blind. Oops - just seen it's already up there. :blush:

Sandman is my young daughter's favourite - she says it's cool :lol: It's also my phone ringtone. I don't know why I really like it. I also love Miracle, Exile and Blind after listening to it a couple of times. Just seen that Blind is down as Radio 2's record of the week and it says release date 15 April.

I got it too. I've had a couple of listens and really like it.

Me too! Brilliant song.

Hurts - Exile

I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I'm holding out until mine comes from Amazon and have only heard The Road, Exile, Miracle and Sandman. Congrats on being on one of the tracks. :D

I absolutely love Sandman. I haven't heard all the tracks yet, but I wonder if this will be a future single.

I don't understand why Miracle isn't on any radio playlists yet. Olly Murs is and his single comes out the same day. It's almost likethe powers that be don't want Hurts to succeed.

According to Hurts own website it isn't released until March 10th - the day before the album.

But Bastille have been listed and they're sort of similar. Or is it just me who thinks they're fairly similar, but I think Hurts have been around longer? Hopefully they'll playlist them next week.

I love Hurts and I really like their new single. It certainly explains why they are so big in Europe, but not here because the UK radio stations simply don't seem to want to support a group who can actually write their own material. They'd far rather playlist cr@p like One Erection who could maybe manage to write a nursery rhyme and that's about it.

It won't let me paste a link as I have under 20 posts. But if you google the Official Music video charts. They are number 5 for actual DVD's overall but Number 1 for music DVD'S
