A little tip...

Not 100% sure if this is actually going to happen, but I have it from a very good source:
The boys have just recorded and delivered a cover version of 'Running to Stand Still' by U2 for the War Child Charity album.
Apparently they are very, very happy with it and say it will knock your socks off!
So, keep an eye out for it!

Waaaaaah!!!!!!!!!! Wtf!!! It this is true..... *speechlesslookingforwords*
I love U2 and Running to stand still is one of their best songs!!!!!!!!
CAN`T wait to hear that!!!!!!

can't wait for this one

Very good source, eh?

who trusts the New Music Express these days? haha
the album will probably involve exclusively the Proclaimers, and will only go on sale in petrol stations on the A38

What's wrong with the Proclaimers? No, You're right, they're shit

And I will walk 500 miles "no you f**king wont after ive chopped your legs off you *bleep machine*"

They should be put in a blender, then the hoff should drink the resulting mooching lucy bastard shake they give us Scots a bad name
(I don't like them)

whatever they do, it will be better than crappy U2, that is for sure

Quite frankly. I have every cd of U2 and sometimes you're rigth. I really hope that the new one coming out in March is better than the last two albums.

War Child do exactly what it says on the tin. These kids shouldn't be in such circumstances in the first place, but they are, so thank God someone's doing something about it.

The album is released on February 16th.
