Hi all you lovely Last FM people. I know you love Last FM and you are genuine music fans. That's why you are here. But for the sake of great music could you please pop over to Facebook even if you have to create a profile to do it. Limeshark were MILES ahead of the next best band in the semi final voting for Let's get a GENUINE unsigned band into the charts but now, for the final, the voting is on FB again they are falling behind. The leading band is an electonica dance outfit and second place is a jazz hip hop crossover. DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT? Limeshark are lagging behind in fourth. So do you love rock? Do you love Limeshark? For the sake of these guys 1. create a Facebook account. 2. Vote. 3. Delete. it if you want. It will only take five minutes.

someone being true to their souls in music, what a throwback to late 60's and early 70's. Time for British Invasion II in the US.

So good to hear a band that actually sounds original. There are similarities to other big bands but Lime Shark still manage to keep their own unique sound. I predict big things for these guys!
