Hey guys
How is everyone?
By now hopefully most of you have seen the project we’re running with PledgeMusic for a special edition version of the new album - special packaging, bonus content, the works. Loads of you have already pledged and we thank you! But if you’re one of those who has looked at it and not full understood what the hell is going on then read on - this is for you.
We’ve put together a FAQ to answer any questions you’ve got on what the project is, why we’re running it and what it actually means. Have a read. Then have a look - and pledge! If there’s anything we haven’t covered that you’d like to ask, just let us know.
Oh yes - please repost this and tell all your friends. The more pledges we get, the quicker we reach our target.
Thanks and see you on the road.
Love

What is PledgeMusic?
PledgeMusic is a website that allows us to both involve you guys in and raise funds to complete a project of our choice for you if enough of you want it.
What are you doing with them?
We’re running a project right now for a special edition version of the Behind The Bright Lights album.
How does it work?
Have a look at this. It’s our project - for a version of the album in special packaging and with a bunch of additional content. It’s gonna be great.
We’ve created a list of things that you can you can ‘pledge’ on - or pre-order. The main one is obviously the CD, but there are loads of others - there’s a new tee, a new hoody, a signed set list, a guitar lesson over Skype with Will, a vocal lesson at the studio with Marc, the chance to attend a special live session show or even have us play a house party at your place! Everything that you pledge on helps us towards our 100% target. When we reach 100% (and go beyond it) then the project is confirmed and we can start working on the album and on your pledges!
So if you reach 100% I’ll get my special edition album?
Exactly!
How does the money work?
If you pledge using a credit card, your card won’t be charged until we reach 100% and the project is confirmed. If you pledge using PayPal you’ll be charged immediately (PledgeMusic isn’t able to delay PayPal transactions) but if we don’t reach 100% then you will be refunded straight away. Money pledged is held by PledgeMusic, not the artist.
What happens when you reach 100%?
The project is confirmed! We can start working on getting your pledges made - your CDs pressed, your tees printed, your house gigs scheduled, and so on.
Does the project stop at 100%?
No! There are a ton of projects on the PledgeMusic site that have reached much more their target. We’re donating a percentage of the profits from the project to Cancer Research UK so the more pledges we get, the more items we can include and the more we can give to our charity.
How long will it take to get my stuff?
PledgeMusic gives us a period of around 6 weeks once the project has closed to get everything made & delivered. We’ll be working towards that and hoping to beat it. And we obviously want to get the record made and delivered to everyone on the same day as the shops release the main album. So get pledging!
What’s in it for people who pledge on the special edition album?
Aside from the fact that you’re actually helping us make the record? Lots. We’ve posted a bunch of exclusive video content and have a whole load more to come. Plus everyone who pledges before we have to send the CD off for manufacture will get their name in the booklet thanks. Amazing!
How close are you to your target?
At the time of writing, 76%.
Where can I read more about PledgeMusic?
Check their own FAQ here.
I should share this with all my friends, right?
That would be awesome, thank you. Let them know there’s a ‘New album’ tab on our Facebook page where they can check it out and get involved.
And finally - where do I go to pledge and pre-order my album?
