Their 2012 song My Robot Monkey Army Is Better Than Yours deserves a mention for the title alone.
It's definitely worth checking them out on their Youtube channel (link below)

    It seems it will be a worldwide release as the album appears on iTunes Spain, Australia, Mexico, Estonia & United Kingdom as well.

  2. A thing I discovered randomly - the Waiting For Tomorrow features a slightly different (and otherwise unavailable as far as I know) version of Tomorrow as part of the main tracklist and then the ESC Version, the karaoke version as well as the acoustic and the Bezzina Family version at the end.
