Keeping Some Dark Secrets

So, remember Johnny Foreigner? Biggest band in the world right now, yeh? The Birmingham, England-based trio’s forthcoming single “Our Bipolar Friends” b/w “The Houseparty Scene Is Killing You” — which we wrote about exhaustively [1, 2, 3] last month — will finally be issued by Best Before Records March 10 on 7″ vinyl and via digital storefronts. The vinyl is limited to 1,000 copies, and 200 of them are signed. A MySpace bulletin from the band suggests pre-ordering from RecordStore.co.uk here to get your hands on a signed copy, so perhaps in our haste to pre-order last month (from HMV) we inadvertently screwed ourselves. Oh well. If you keep your fingers crossed and wish really hard US fans may be able to snag the digital version of the single at EMusic, as the band’s stellar 2007 EP Arcs Across The City was sold through the site despite Johnny Foreigner having no US label deal in place. Directly following the single release Johnny Foreigner will be wowing crowds in America at the annual South By Southwest music industry confab, and we noted the specifics here last week.
