Stand Up Released in Australia

By Waldo Jaquith
Stand Up now has a release date in Australia -- May 23. Given the band's recent mini-tour in Australia, the album's release in the country doesn't come as a great surprise. The band has long been unknown outside of the United States, in part because RCA's extra-U.S. promotional efforts have been so pathetic. When the band renewed their contract with RCA, they secured all rights to their music outside of North America. The album will also be released in South Africa on May 16 and, of course, the United States on May 10. Thanks to James for the tip.
