In this year’s Austin City Limits contest, I still have four days until voting is closed to the public. As of right now, I am about 465 votes away from making the first cut. With your help, I’d like to try something amazing. I still want to try to make that first cut (the top 100). Unrealistic? Un-attainable? Impossible? I need your help! Tell your friends, vote everyday, and support the music that speaks to you. In an era of over-produced sound, generic chord progressions, and image over ability, I want to create something different. Help me get my music out there!

Thanks so much for your support through this, I’ve done way better than I ever thought I would! Your votes are some of the best compliments that you can give me. I promise this will be the last time I bug you to vote.

Hope you have a good week, and as always, thanks for listening,

Hello,

I noticed you were one of my listeners on thesixtyone, and was wondering if you’d vote for me for the Austin City Limits “Sound and the Fury” competition. It’s a chance for me to play on one of the main stages during the Austin City Limits festival, which would be awesome! I really only need a few hundred votes to be considered in the top 100, and you can vote once a day until voting closes to the public on the 22nd of August. Make sure you confirm your vote as well when you get emailed back from the contest. Voting is free and your vote would mean an awful lot to me!

Hello listeners! First off, thank you for supporting us--we feel like we've received a very warm welcome to this site. It's wonderful to see such a large group of people care so much about listening and commenting about new music.

Once again, I just wanted to let you all know that we will be uploading a new song. This time it will be at 8PM EASTERN on SUNDAY, JUNE 22ND (hopefully that's a better time for listeners in Europe). This one is called, "What You're After" and it's the song that got us into the top 20 (out of 2000 entrants from 88 different countries) of the BBC's "Next Big Thing" contest last year.

If you want a sneak peak at the song, please just message us back with your email and we'll send all our 44 songs to you straight away for free (gmail and yahoo are the best, but as long as you have a big inbox it's all good).

Much peace and many, many thanks,
Mark & Drew
