the vacancy/ go audio 16 Years, 3 Months ago  
A band who had hits before they signed to a major label, changed their name, wrote some okay songs, got dropped and now return to form. You must agree JK.

Totally agree that they had a couple of dead cert global smashes before they got Raphaeled - change of name and image and sound all disastrous - new single sounds a bit better but not great and that awful major label/greed thing of just putting a bit of it online so it can't get stolen (money we want money) does more harm than good, as does the predictable marketing "build up a street team/fan base" philosophy behind the project.

Doomed I fear - the moment passed; the time has gone.

It would have been hard to break them 3 years ago - they sounded massively American soft rock, like Click 5 - but they had one huge hit (She Walked...) and another followup - sad.

I think you'll find they are no longer with a major label, they have setup up their own label called rubix records, and are self releasing everything from now on.

Nick Raphael is the head of Epic which signed them, changed them and dropped them.

He's the man who looked me in the eye and said "JK I swear Dane Bowers will be the biggest star in the world".

I had to sit down.

Wow. what a tool. Go: Audio seem to be quite a lot more popular with the "alternative" crowd than The Vacancy would have been though.

that said just hearing the name "the vacancy" puts that song of theirs in my head.. my resolution's high, my memory's low..etc.etc

Actually I went to their site to see what the fuss was abount. I agree annoyingly the sample of the single was short. But then noticed that they had the full length video which had the whole track.
Rather like it....

It's harmless though melodically unimaginative - da da da, da dadadada

Bring in obligatory auto tuner/vocoder effect...

Sounds like another adequate album track by a US pop rock band who once had a big hit 6 years ago.
