I'm partly delighted... if I hadn't come across them via an old post on The Velvet Rope from Brett Meisner asking Why Aren't This Band Huge? they would still be doing Hollywood day jobs and playing strip clubs.
And if my friend and protegee Joe Taylor hadn't agreed and featured No Tomorrow on his Record of the Day site, the momentum would have slackened.
And if his colleague James hadn't picked up on it and chased the band - the impetus might have died.
So I proudly take credit for starting all this and yes, No Tomorrow remains a tremendous soft rock hit.
But the emergence of Orson also highlights the problems in our industry.
Why did such an obvious hit languish for years until I spotted it? (Like Who Let The Dogs Out, Tubthumping and many others)?
Why did the subsequent interest follow the standard boring major label pattern instead of helping the band grow, as the new world of technology should have done?
Will the undoubted success of the track and now the album help establish the artiste and make sure Orson grow or will it highlight the weakness of the UK chart system and the failure of the old dinosaur industry format?
Discuss!

I was saddened to see that Brett Meisner had passed away. Were you friends with Brett?

Sad news - no, I never knew Brett personally but, as the post above mentions, his enthusiasm did inspire my discovery of No Tomorrow.
