In the past couple of years, Sydney rock trio MY FUTURE LIES has firmly established itself as one of Australia’s most popular unsigned bands.
With over a million MySpace plays to their credit, plus a brilliant debut album,several singles, plus two self-funded live DVDs, MY FUTURE LIES is the epitome
of what it means to be a highly successful, truly independent band in this modern music age.

One of the hardest working young outfits in the country, MY FUTURE LIES have performed literally hundreds of live shows right around Australia, forging an evergrowing
loyal fanbase in every port of call. The band’s MySpace success has also seen the trio’s popularity begin to be replicated in Europe, even though they’ve yet to set foot on the Continent. Incredibly, MY FUTURE LIES have sold almost as many records in Europe as they have here at home.

Although the earliest incarnation of MY FUTURE LIES was playing shows together as early as 2006 under the banner of Acid Eyeliner, it’s only been in the past two years that the band has solidified its line-up and only in this past year that the trio adopted its new name. The name-change coincided with the release of MY FUTURE LIES’ self-titled, self-produced, self-funded debut album. Since then, on the back of the debut album’s success, the trio has toured more intensely than ever, travelling and
playing as far and wide as Adelaide, Rockhampton, Bell’s Beach outside Melbourne and Uluru in Alice Springs.

But for all that success and experience and hard work, it’s only now that the members of MY FUTURE LIES feel like the real game is about to begin. The group recently released a brand new single, “Just One Chance”, and it marks a major step up in sound and commerciability. Released as a four-track EP, it’s MY FUTURE LIES’ first professionally-recorded work (everything up until this point was recorded in drummer Murray Danger’s home studio). The “Just One Chance” EP sparkles with melody and energy and exhibits the group’s readiness to step up and be embraced by the mainstream. Now with professional management in place, MY FUTURE LIES is slowly
working towards recording album number two – pencilled in for an early 2010 release – which will undoubtedly let all of Australia know, and all of the world for that matter, that this is without doubt one of the hottest young rock acts in the country.
