 Flyleaf Continues to Breakout w/ Astonishing Sales & Media Appearances
Source: The {m} Media Collective
Date Posted: October 6,2006

    Continuing with their stellar debut year, Octone Records/SRE Recordings rock band Flyleaf will perform on “Last Call with Carson Daly” tomorrow night (check local listings for time: http://www.nbc.com/Last_Call_with_Carson_Daly). With the release of their self-titled debut, Flyleaf’s popularity has spiraled upward with their breakout single “I’m So Sick” on general market radio, which peaked at No. 12 on Mainstream Rock. Flyleaf released in 2005 and has made its home on the Billboard Top 200 for more than 32 weeks scanning 400,000 units.

Flyleaf recently performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “CD USA” as well as being featured on MTV.com “Live”, mtv2 “All That Rocks” and the upcoming special on the video network FUSE with “Flyleaf Makes a Video” that highlights the making of “Fully Alive.” The FUSE special begins airing October 11; see http://www.flyleafmusic.com for times. In addition to the media blitz, Flyleaf continues to tour relentlessly as they are just coming off the Family Values Tour and will be joining the Music As a Weapon Tour, which begins in November.

Released to the Christian market through SRE Recordings, Flyleaf has been embraced by radio and media. On Christian Rock radio, all three radio singles have broke into the top 10 (“I’m So Sick,” “All Around Me,” “Fully Alive”) with two No. 1s . Flyleaf has also received acclaim from CCM Magazine, Stars & Stripes Military Paper, ChristianMusicToday.com, Brio and CBN.com.

In an interview with MTV.com, Flyleaf’s lead singer Lacey Moseley shares openly about the band’s faith, “We all share the same faith. And so when we deal with the whole 'Christian band thing,' we kind of think about something P.O.D. says, like, 'If you're a Christian, it affects everything in your life. So if you're a plumber, does that make you a Christian plumber?' I don't know the answer. We're a band, it's part of who we are, so it comes out in our music, and it's the fuel for what we do. And finding faith saved my life. So I'm not ashamed of it at all. And most of our album reflects that.”
