As usual, I was searching through Myspace checking out new bands and something happened that happens a lot to me. As I was searching I was listening online to radio stations from around the world. The choice today was Triple J in Australia. So I hit upon a band called My Future Lies and I’m checking their stuff and a track comes on the radio that pricks up my ears, the jock tells me ‘Hey that’s the latest track called ‘Just One Chance’ from My Future Lies. So at this moment I once again feel fated.

So I head over to their site, grab a free album, play it and it’s f****n’ superb, one of the best ‘Pop-Rock’ albums I have heard for such a long time, and the type of album that really only Australian bands can do; 14 tracks that just leave you wanting to press play again. I notice that they are now heading for album number two, they have a great looking DVD of a live show, and when you click the clip below you will see that this band are deffo ‘Parting Crowd’s’ for sure. So get yer ass over to their site, grab an album, support them, oh yeah, did I mention they are ‘unsigned’… Yep… Who the f**k needs a label when you are this good, write great songs, are boss live… Who Indeed!

MY FUTURE LIES - The Story :

In the past couple of years, Sydney rock trio MY FUTURE LIES has firmly established itself as one of Australia’s most popular unsigned bands.

With over a million MySpace plays to their credit, plus a brilliant debut album, several singles, plus two self-funded live DVDs, MY FUTURE LIES is the epitome of what it means to be a highly successful, truly independent band in this modern music age. One of the hardest working young outfits in the country, MY FUTURE LIES have performed literally hundreds of live shows right around Australia, forging an ever-growing loyal fanbase in every port of call.

The band’s MySpace success has also seen the trio’s popularity begin to be replicated in Europe, even though they’ve yet to set foot on the Continent. Incredibly, MY FUTURE LIES have sold almost as many records in Europe as they have here at home.

Although the earliest incarnation of MY FUTURE LIES was playing shows together as early as 2006 under the banner of Acid Eyeliner, it’s only been in the past two years that the band has solidified its line-up and only in this past year that the trio adopted its new name.

The name-change coincided with the release of MY FUTURE LIES self-titled, self-produced, self-funded debut album. Since then, on the back of the debut album’s success, the trio has toured more intensely than ever, travelling and playing as far and wide as Adelaide, Rockhampton, Bell’s Beach outside Melbourne and Uluru in Alice Springs. But for all that success and experience and hard work, it’s only now that the members of MY FUTURE LIES feel like the real game is about to begin.

The group recently released a brand new single, “Just One Chance” and it marks a major step up in sound and commerciability. Released as a four-track EP, it’s MY FUTURE LIES’ first professionally-recorded work (everything up until this point was recorded in drummer Murray Danger’s home studio). The “Just One Chance” EP sparkles with melody and energy and exhibits the group’s readiness to step up and be embraced by the mainstream.
