This CD is no longer being manufactured, so it will quickly become a collector's item***REVIEWS OF THIS CD=================="There is no question that The Sunpilots also have growing public support. From the members on their myspace site to the listeners contacting radio stations around the country to request their songs there is a growing buzz surrounding the band." SOULSHINE"Radio stations across the nation have been buzzing with interest only generated in recent times by groups like JET and The Veronicas... and The Sunpilots have not had to head overseas to obtain it." POPREPUBLIC"The Sunpilots sent shivers down my spine." MUSIKMANTRABIOGRAPHY=========Born into the Australian rock scene but schooled in the Caranatic music of Sri Lanka, Raj Siva-Rajah was a child caught between two cultures. Using his love of music to bridge the divide, he began to develop a dark and obscure creative partnership with highschool friend Andrew Maitland. Thus began the "project"; and a love-hate musical relationship which continues to this day.The befriending of wayward musician Bob Spencer (guitar) saw the project evolve into something more; and The Sunpilots were born. The sound is a soaring fusion of the modern day west executed with the skill base of the ancient east. The band's online popularity has also begun to soar, building a massive MySpace following only months after unveiling their EP (which was initially recorded in the singers garage as a demo and not intended for release) on the site. As a result, they hit the no. 1 spot for independent Australian bands in daily song plays.The growing buzz surrounding The Sunpilots attracted the attention of radio across the country. Despite being little more than a mastered demo CD, Sydney tastemaker station FBi picked up the track "Animals in my Mind". The track generated such a response from FBi listeners that they were quickly made FBi feature artists. Next Triple J (Australia's biggest indie station) picked up the track "Metric System", exposing The Sunpilots to a national audience. The feedback was instant, with new fans posting comments on the band's MySpace page about the track and asking where they could buy the CD. Eventually Nova (one of the largest commercial networks in the country) spoke to lead singer Raj on air about the bands growing popularity, playing the "Spotlight in the Sun" demo after the interview. The next day The Sunpilots were on the air again talking to presenter Lizzy Lovette, who told the band about the huge number of calls Nova had taken requesting the song again.A couple of years on and The Sunpilots have toured nationally and internationally and have re-released studio versions of these tracks along with new material on their critically acclaimed debut album "Living Receiver". But this CD is where it all started.....
