History [link]
Formation and Letting Go [link]
The band formed in 1999, with singer Wil Martin collaborating with guitarist Scott Kohler in L.A. Bassist Johnny Sprague and guitarist Mike Callahan joined the band shortly after their debut was completed.
Singer-songwriter Wil has cited Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Metallica, Thin Lizzy, U2, and Soundgarden as influences and inspirations.[1]
The band's debut album, Letting Go, featured the song "Get Away". It received significant radio airplay, while the song "Headstrong" was featured in the motion picture Queen of the Damned. After months of touring with Staind, Kid Rock and Stone Temple Pilots,[2][3][4] "Get Away" peaked at #4 on the charts and stayed in the Top 100 for over 60 weeks. Earshot returned to the studio in late 2002 after spending much of that year on the road.
Two [link]
The band's second album, Two, was released in 2004. It includes the breakthrough hit "Wait," which was featured on the Madden NFL 2005 video game soundtrack and the MX vs. ATV Unleashed video game soundtrack. It was also featured in the DVD Tampa Bay Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup Champions.
In early 2005, Earshot returned from the road in support of their second release.
The Silver Lining [link]
In early 2007, Earshot signed with Indegoot/Fontana/Universal Recordings, and began working on a new album, produced by Brian Garcia and co-produced by Wil Martin. Tracks on the album include “MisSunderstood,” “Closer,” “Pushing to Shove,” “Wasted,” “Don’t Hate Me,” "Go," and “Sometimes”. The band posted its new single, "MisSunderstood," on their MySpace page at 12AM (EST) on May 13, 2008. The official nationwide radio release date for the single was May 26, 2008.
On October 20, 2009, the band released a free single through their website, called "The Ugly Truth".

Exclaim!
Exclaim! (also known as exclaim!) is a monthly Canadian music magazine that features in-depth coverage of new music across all genres with special focus on Canadian and cutting-edge artists. Content is based on the monthly print publication, publishes 11 issues per year, distributing over 100,000 copies to over 2,600 locations across Canada.
History
Exclaim! began as a discussion among campus/community radio programmers at Ryerson's CKLN-FM in 1991. The goal of the publication was to support great Canadian music that was otherwise going unheralded. It was started by Ian Danzig, together with other programmers and Toronto musicians. The group worked through 1991 to produce their first issue in early 1992, with monthly issues being produced since.
Similarly to an alternative weekly newspaper, the magazine is distributed as a free publication at campus and community radio stations, bars, record stores, libraries, and coffee shops. It also offers mail subscriptions. With Chart's decision to cease publication of its newsstand edition in January 2009, Exclaim! is now Canada's only nationally distributed general interest music magazine operating as a print publication.
Earshot (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
"Earshot" is the 18th episode of season three of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Plot synopsis
On patrol, Buffy runs into two demons that she fights, and succeeds in killing one of them. While the other escapes, the blood from the demon she killed gets absorbed into the back of her hand after she kills it. The next day at the library, Buffy finds that they're making very little progress with the Mayor and stopping the ascension. Willow asks Buffy if she's talked to Angel and then suggests that Buffy straight out ask him what happened with Faith. Percy checks in with Willow to reschedule their study session and then she talks to Buffy about the basketball game after school which everyone except Buffy is going to.
Buffy goes to Giles after she finds that her hand is itching where she was cut and that, because she came in contact with the blood of one of the demons, she may be infected with an aspect of the demon. Xander and Oz watch the cheerleaders at the pep rally and Xander reveals that he still has a thing for Cordelia when he witnesses Wesley looking at her. Buffy is constantly worried as she waits to find out what aspect of the demon she'll be getting; Willow horrifies her, wondering if the demon was a male. She talks to Angel about it that night and he tells her he'd love her no matter what she looked like.

Unfortunate
by: EarshotI wanna be sure
I wanna make clear
I want you to know
I love you my dear
me, I'm so dirty, covered in spite
maybe you'll come back cuz you want me, maybe you won't
But you were so young
don't you feel dumb?
you're not the only unfortunate one
Held in your head
the things that they said
and all of the lies and bad things they did
me, I'm unworthy, callous and cold
maybe you need me cuz you're lonely, maybe you don't
and we all live
and make mistakes
and build up walls that make us safe
