Has anyone here heard any news of an Australian release date for the new album? I'm beginning to get anxious over whether I should order online or not, and can't find any confirmed (let alone unconfirmed) date anywhere.

I'm in the same boat, Pookster ol' pal...I've requested one of the chaps recruited for Al's video to ask him about it when he goes in, so if he has an answer, I'll report it to you.

My Mum asked a CD store employee, and they said the 30th.

I'll have to check at some record stores too. I emailed one a while back and they hadn't even heard of SOL, but it was probably about a month ago

I'll just drop her and email, I don't know if she'll know anything though. She works in promotions and publicity working with secondary media and stuff, but she has handled some big name acts. If she ends up working with Al on the SOL tour I'll think I'd die, then come back to life and beg and plead for her to accidently give me the heads up on anything cool like meet and greets :P
