Hi all,
We just wanted to give a BIG THANKS out to everyone on the board that supported the release of our debut album "We Just Are" and went and bought a copy.
Its actually managed to break the Top 100 albums on iTunes (at No.84), Top 25 Download Albums on Play.com, Album Of The Week on Tunetribe and we are No.1 "Best In Store" on the Japanese iTunes! It should be on the racks at your local HMV, Tower, Zavvi etc too.
Obviously, we are over the moon at this news!!
We've also had some really good reviews and feedback.
If anyone else is interested:
"This album is f*cking amazing. It is in servere danger of taking over our lives..." - POPJUSTICE.com
"We Just are is a glorious debut. Tracks including ‘Delboys Revenge’, ‘Sample Whore’, ‘Face Melter’, and new single ‘Rise of Ulysses’, give some basis to reviews citing them as “the British Justice/Digitalism”, but listening to the likes of ‘B.C.T.T’, ‘Dr Frenchy Bernard’, ‘Anthepic: We Have Taken Over’, and ‘The Smile’, the realisation dawns that this trio are heading for the territory once held by Orbital, Chemical Brothers, and Underworld. The Japanese Popstars - back to the future dance music for today, tomorrow, and forever, and it’s coming to a field near your very soon!" - iBeats.co.uk
"Is this the greatest record ever made or is this my imagination?" - Word Magazine
4 outta 5 - DJ MAG
"File next to Orbital, Underworld and The Chemical Brothers" (NEW BAND OF THE DAY) - The Guardian
"A Star Is Born....Or Should I Say Stars!" - Pete Tong, BBC Radio 1
"Scuzzy, fuzzy, mental, memorable and unmissable!" - Loaded
"One of 2008’s hottest prospects. They just are." M8/M8 - M8 Magazine
"Do believe the hype..." 4 outta 5 - IDJ Magzine
"The Popstars should ready themselves for massive dance floor, make that stadium riots and complete oversaturation, as I fully expect these guys to be mega....Nowadays Ed and Tom could learn a thing or two from these dudes..." - EXCLAIM.CA
"I'm knocked out! That is a BIG BIG record! Very strong!!" - Zane Lowe, BBC Radio 1
"The Japanese Popstars are F***ing deadly. The End. I need say no more." - Connected Magazine
“They’re gonna be riding high in the charts before long... Cut from the same cloth as Orbital and Underworld, theirs is a sky-skimming stadium-sized version: the kind of tracks built to make an entire field of ravers jump in unison. They’re something special...” - DJ MAG
"Literally, amazing." - Word Magazine
"The best dance album of 2008 and THE soundtrack to our summer." - Irish Daily Star
“Crowd-pleasing Orb-meets-Kraftwerk anthems...pulsating Prodigy aggression... it’s time to get the pills in.” 7/10 - NME
"With acid squelches, techno beats and an abrasive rock edge “We Just Are” is the obnoxious cousin of Phuture, Frankie Knuckles and all those other bedroom boffins. Amidst the ruins of the superstar DJ era, it seems that dance music is growing old disgracefully with Justice, Digitalism and now punks like these rockin’ the house with little more than a beat up synth and a bad attitude."- CLASH
"Never has an Irish Dance Act Created So Much Hysteria From Press And Industry Alike" - Hotpress
"WE JUST ARE" OUT NOW ON GUNG-HO! RECORDINGS
