| Starting Sunday giveaway new single online!
Posted on Tuesday, May 12 2009 |

Melbourne band, Starting Sunday, are giving fans the chance to download their new single ‘When You’re Around’ for free via their website www.startingsundaymusic.com.
“When You’re Around” will also be available to purchase as an EP, featuring other tracks which is available on iTunes from May 25.
The four-piece, formerly known as Front Counter, will tour Australia this May – July in support of the new single and EP – see below for dates and locations.
Under the guise of Front Counter, the band released the radio-favourite single, ‘What’s Your Name’ which was added to instant rotation on Triple M. The band became the first unsigned band to perform on an episode of Network Ten’s ‘Neighbours’ in August [2008] which was broadcast throughout Australia and the UK and also achieved sync placements throughout Channel 7’s Beijing Olympic Games coverage [2008] and on Network Ten’s Rove whilst ending the year with a special appearance at the 2008 ARIA Music Awards. The band has also supported Behind Crimson Eyes (AUS), The Butterfly Effect (AUS), Dopamine (UK); as well as a support slot on the Taste Of Chaos tour playing alongside bands including The Used, Rise Against, Aiden and the Gallows.
In early 2009, throughout the writing and recording process, the four-piece went through an agonising decision to change the name.
“Originally we were going to keep the name, then we started writing more music for this EP and we started to realise that not only had our sound drastically changed and matured, but we as a group had grown and moved on. We didn’t feel like we were Front Counter anymore, so a name change became very important,” singer and guitarist Rhys Thompson said.
“We wanted to portray the idea of a new beginning. It was on a Sunday after a few shows in brisbane that everything changed. the new band started on a Sunday, so after a while it became pretty obvious what we should call the band,” Rhys explains of the founding of the new name.
Now with a new name in tow, Starting Sunday unleash their new single from their forthcoming self-titled EP “When You’re Around” which Rhys describes as a song about not wasting any time.
“It’s a little bit about us as a band moving forward and doing what we love,” says Rhys.
