an ignominous end. just the way we wanted it. why make a fuss of it? in the end, it still amounts to nothing.

we could have been so much, but somehow it just didn’t work out.

thanks for the ride, people. we count our blessings every day.

maybe we’ll return, some day in the future, somehow.

but right now, we’re just drops in the ocean.

so long, and thanks for all the fish.

We’re proud to announce that our album “Of Real Dreams” is now available online! Yes you can download the album on sites such as Itunes, Amazon.com, last.fm and wayango.com!

The links are all on our myspace profile for your convenience!

But if you’re not the online shopper kind, remember you can always still get our album at HMV and Gramaphone.

Take care and see you soon.

Peace.

For those of you true believers who did notice, our website went down for an extended period – mainly because of some billing issues with our web provider. But that’s all sorted now and we’re back online.

“After 4 years of hard work in the studio, the band has come up with an answer for all fans that just cannot get enough of their live magic… if you weren’t a fan of Vertical Rush before, you probably would be, after Of Real Dreams.”

We’re really grateful for all the great reviews… and we’re truly humbled that people out there enjoy our little ditties.

Hope all this translates into people picking up the album – because the most important critic is *you*!! And really, we just wanna share our music, and our love for what we do, with everyone out there.

Help spread the word, and spread the love. And as always, support music made in Singapore.

That’s right, you saw correctly. Vertical Rush will be appearing on national television for the very first time! Catch us on Channel 5s “Live ‘n’ Loaded” programme this coming Tuesday, 3 Feb 2009 at 8.30pm sharp. Gather your folks, kids, and pets, and watch us as we rock yer sox off! Don’t be late ok, we’re the first band up.
