“If I Could & You Ever Would” appeared in another sync by Allisports, this time a feature on snowboarder Sage Kotsenburg. They had already used “We Were The Ones” and “Shoulda Said Something” for features in 2011. Gotta try this snowboarding thing. See what you think here…

“If I Could & You Ever Would” was used as the soundtrack to issue #42 of the NY blog Storychord, which combines a story, a picture and a song.

» Salford City FM | Aural Delights w/ Bob Osbourne
Here’s some of the new radio we’ve been picking up in Jan.
» Student Radio Association Reviews
When we were played on Absolute Radio at the end of 2011, some of the DJs from universities in the Student Radio Association reviewed “Burning The Tracks”. Here’s a pick of the reviews that have surfaced.
“Potentially the best rock n roll band I’ve heard all year”
– Anishka Sharma | University of Warwick Radio
“I love this song and would happily repeat on my iPod again and again.”
– Laura Cockram | Lancaster University Radio
“I think Unquiet Nights are set for big things.”
– Lucy Markillie | Shock Radio
» Auntie Annie’s w/ Little Doses
We’ll be playing Auntie Annie’s (Dublin Road Belfast), on Sunday 11th March with Little Doses, where we’ll have copies of the first album. Will post more info soon when we have it, keep checking the tour page.
» Pete Donaldson on “Someone’s Love on Drugs”
After featuring “Burning The Tracks” recently on his Absolute Radio show, Pete Donaldson has also reviewed “Someone’s Love on Drugs”, saying it’s: “A great rock track. Moody, but not one that revels in it – there’s a sense of urgency in there. Bit of a journey, all told.” Thanks Pete. (link)
» Other happenings in January
Blond Carrot Magazine included us in their Best Albums of 2011, along with some great albums I’ve been listening to (Horrible Crowes – “Elsie”, and “El Camino” – The Black Keys). Also it was satisfying to pass 40,000 plays on Soundcloud this month, and 82,000 on Last.fm. Keep it going.
» Remember….
You can download some of the songs from unquietnights.com/music, but if you do that as opposed to buying the album, atleast join the mailing list, our facebook page, or twitter to stay up to date. All the best…
