In anticipation of Keane’s fourth studio album Strangeland (to be released this Tuesday, May 8th), Sputnik will be hosting a prize pack giveaway. The contest is based upon the music video to their latest single, “Disconnected”, which was filmed by directors Juan Antonio Bayona and Sergio G. Sanchez inside a haunted house in Barcelona while following a distinct 70’s horror aesthetic. The contestant who submits the best movie slogan/tagline in 15 words or less (i.e. Jaws‘ “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water”) will receive the following:
-Strangeland CD
-Strangeland 12” vinyl record
-Strangeland poster
The winner will be chosen based on originality, cleverness, and/or humor, as well overall quality of the slogan. All answers should be sent via email to sowingsputnik@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 13th.
The music video can be viewed below. Good luck to all of the contestants involved!

I can win this, but it's a Keane prize pack, so why would I?
For whoever wants a winning entry, email me at theacademy@gmail.com. There will be paypal involved or possibly an exchange of slipknot vinyl.
Good luck!

I respect that you feel differently about them but you have to understand that I grew up with this band, and over time I gradually started to dislike them because of their inabilty to spice up their sound (succesfully). Sorry Irving.

i.) Is U2's legacy dead? No.
ii.) Is 1980-1990 U2 better than modern day U2? Yes (this is one fricking short end of the stick to have to argue).
iii.) Pop is an amazing album. Sure, a couple of dud tracks here and there but I don't see why someone would choose albums like October, Boy, and even Zooropa over it.

You've never heard of Keane? Great band. They do have that light rock/mellow/bland sound of Coldplay or Travis or Snow Patrol or Codes but far more consistent. Made 4 very good albums, go through them starting with Hopes & Fears (skip the Night Train EP but Clear Skies from that is a great song and they have a tonne of good b-sides).
