Unscrewing your way to the top

When you fall in love with an unknown band it feels great. You watch them strum their stuff in shitty bars on Tuesday nights to approximately four people and you know this time it’s going to be different.

As you watch them rise up it’s wonderful, and you glow with filial pride as they take their first steps into the big, bad world of commercial success.

“Look out!” you cry. “Enjoy yourselves, but look out!” to no avail.

Before you know it though they’re doing T-mobile adverts and dating someone from T4 and you can’t help but feel slightly betrayed. Even your lame friends have got their CD, filling that awkward void between The Hoosiers and Dido. By the tricky second album you’re over it and have moved on to some new whippersnappers who have integrity as well as super-skinny jeans.

At YourEyesLie we admit we’re looking for the big-time but we know you may feel uncomfortable with that: We understand if you want to cradle your favourite independent label to your maternal bosom and whisper gently in it’s ear: ”You just stay here with me, It’s gonna be ok. Everything’s gonna be ok”.

But fight against your instincts. Don’t clip our wings or worry what monstrosity lurks behind every new experience.

If you love us we ask you to put your trust in Youreyeslie: It’s time to unscrew* the stabilisers and send us careering down that hill.

*By unscrewing I mean please buy stuff on our website or from our store in Camden.
