"Ignorance," the sensational first single from "brand new eyes," is now poised to impact at CHR/Pop radio outlets nationwide, having already been a top 10 smash at Alternative Rock outlets. A second single, "Brick By Boring Brick," is currently blowing up at Alternative Rock, with its companion video clip, directed by Meiert Avis (U2, New Found Glory, matchbox twenty) - now topping FUSE's No. 1 Countdown.
