I don't want to sound polemic, but I really think they are in an enviable position as opposed to many other bands that are cash-strapped or need visibility in music magazines to attract more fans to buy their music. They are in the position of recording, releasing and touring. They should start delivering on their promises like minor bands do because they are passionate and believe in what they do.
