The video is UP! Hope you enjoy it. I'm sorta blown away, and I'm gonna have to check it a few more times to really get the feel of it.
Thes One just asked me to spread the word, and get as many people to "like" it and comment on it as possible, so send it to your homies, get it out there, Facebook it, Instagram it, Tweet it, and whatever else.
Let's DEWRIT!!

(Minor note: looks like I'm only in about 2 seconds of it during the sprinkler scene, from 1:38-1:39, but whatever...cool to be a part of it!!)

Sounds great, looking forward to the pre-order.
edit: grabbed on iTunes - really enjoying the strength of the melody in the beat. It's eerily familiar though, will have to go on a bit of a dig...

Lovin' the new song, but I just tried to share on my 'This Is My Jam' page (anyone else use that?) & got a 'access restricted by user' message, which is a fairly common problem on there tbh, but frustrating 'cause I really want to spread the word. Maybe its something Thes can fix if he see's this.
Anyway can't wait til the LP drops, been waiting a while for this...

man i am not feeling this song.
took me awhile to warm up to "Trippin at the Disco" and "The Wiz" and a few tracks from Highlighter, but I just straight up don't like that they took a stage song they would do to warm up the crowd and dragged it out. super mario effects/theme music over the funky drummer break was fun as sh!t, but it doesn't do it for me as a song.
i know i'll like the rest of the album and i'm sure i'll still be the first one with a finger in the air when this song comes on at the show, but maaaan this song kinda stinks

I wasn't too sure on the song this morning when I played it before work... but after a sh!t day at work I spoke to my mum and she was giving me some advice and she said "you only live once"... so I played her '1 up to the sun up' like 5 mins ago... and damn I am liking this tune now.
Funnily enough the first PUTS tune I heard and brought was JJ/Hangloose and to be honest it's not a favourite... but there was enough in there for me to get more PUTS!

the thing that strikes me about this track is that the chorus is a lot more low key than the actual verses...
and maybe a tad repetitive. i dig the funky drummer though.
maybe i'm just getting old... i'll reserve judgement till i get the wax spinning.

Only one listen as at work but I am hooked already. Not sure if its my age but it reminds me of how exciting hip hop was in the late 80's early 90's. 1 up til sun up sounds fresh, modern but fills me with nostalga also. A big fan.

ok here is the official word (via email from PL70):
Friends, supporters, family. As you I'm sure you have heard by now, we have a new album coming out on 5/6/14 titled 12 Step Program. While it is our 9th studio album, not since The Next Step have we gone back to 100% samples, old vinyl, breaks and loops. We are very excited about it and would like to invite you to check out the video for the lead single by clicking on the VEVO picture above.More importantly, there have been many requests for presale. In the past we learned the hard way that demand upon announcing always causes the servers to crash and leads to issues with downloads and customer orders. More importantly, while PL70 is vital in keeping us connected directly to you, it also hides our actual success from the powers that be - the booking agents, the radio stations, the festival programmers etc. In turn, it makes it hard for us to tour in your city, because the buyers for the club have no records of our actual sales. So we came up with a plan...
Buy our album presale on Itunes here: http://bit.ly/1hAOHHQ
In doing so, we will have tangible sales we can show promoters across the world and they will help get the P show to you. And to sweeten the deal -
if you buy the album on Itunes as a presale, I will give you a free copy of the actual CD. All you have to do is come up to us at the merch table at any show and show us your Itunes purchase, and we will give you a FREE limited edition 6 panel CD. (assuming it is out already).
The 2xLP Vinyl will be announced later as soon as I have them in hand, hopefully by the end of the month, so stay tuned. And in the meantime, thank you for getting it on Itunes and showing the big labels that the independent people can compete. Please help us spread the word and let's show them what can really happen when musicians and fans work together.
Sincerely,
Thes One
i could never understand why the hell anyone would 'preorder' something from itunes, but what Thes is saying makes sense.
it will feel gross buying something from itunes, but i will do it FOR THE P.
