HUGE NEWS! All Around Me has officially gone PLATINUM. Flyleaf has sold over 1,000,000 singles throughout the US, which is absolutely amazing. Yay!
With recent successes, attracting an audience should be the easy part. The band’s self-titled first album had four successful singles: “I’m So Sick,” “Fully Alive,” “All Around Me” and “There For You.” It followed with songs featured on the video game “Guitar Hero.”
“That’s strange,” Bhattacharya admits. “But it’s been a great advertisement. Lots of kids have heard our songs on ‘Guitar Hero’ and then come to the shows. Having new fans like that re-energizes us.”
Also energizing the band lately has been the release of its second album “Memento Mori.”
“The title may seem morbid, “remember your mortality,’” Bhattacharya said, “but we think it’s uplifting, and we hope others see it that way, too.”
According to the Passerby Army, Flyleaf will be doing a live chat on the fan club this coming Tuesday. Read below for details:
This coming Tuesday, February 2 from 3-4PM EST you can catch the members of Flyleaf for a LIVE chat before they go into soundcheck for their upcoming show at The Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, WV!
Awesome! This news seems kinda weird since it seems like AAM came out forever ago…lol nonetheless, it is still amazing and I would be more than happy to give James a congratulatory hug for…his awesome drumming… ;)
