As of today, we have exactly 20,000 listeners on last.fm, which sounds pretty good, even if a lot of these people have probably just heard one song on the radio. (The average listener has listened to 4 Bankrupt songs.) Our most popular album is Shorter Than Danny DeVito with 15,220 listeners, and it contains our 2 biggest last.fm hits: Record Store Renegade (5,524 listeners) and 18 Now (4,386 listeners). Each of these songs is more popular than any other Bankrupt album: Bad Hair Day has 3,364 listeners, Rocket to Riot City has 2,526, Listen has 1,191, and Razor Wires And Neon Lights has only 688 (it deserves more).

The latest news is that the new look of MySpace, also known as Project Futura, will launch on October 15. Continue reading →

On Sept 15, 2008, almost exactly 7 years after the collapse of the Twin Towers, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and the world’s financial system collapsed too. A wave of bankruptcy started and our band name suddenly started to make sense. So we wrote a song called Wave Of Bankruptcy.
It’s September again, and now we have a video for it. Continue reading →
