Author Unknown

The Watchmen's fourth album Silent Radar has just been certified Gold in Canada. Selling over 50,000 copies since its release in March of this year, Silent Radar is on its way to becoming another platinum album for The Watchmen. The album's second single "Any Day Now" has been burning up the Rock Radio charts, breaking into the Top 10 last week. This follows the success of the first single "Stereo", making this the second Top 10 single from the album. "Any Day Now" is also gaining momentum at Top 40 Radio and is in heavy rotation and the Top 20 at MuchMusic.
In addition to their infectious songs, The Watchmen are known for using technology to stay in touch with their fans in Canada and around the world. Their interactive web site, found at www.silentradar.com, featured sneak previews of Silent Radar before its release. The band's completely redesigned website was launched on August 4, and promises to be as successful as their Silent Radar site. The website, found at www.the-watchmen.com, is called WAG MAGAZINE. This new site has been modeled after a traditional magazine and contains articles and reviews written by the band.
Silent Radar is also the first CD to utilize CD-Active technology. This technological advancement enables fans to use the CD to unlock secret pages of The Watchmen's website.
The Watchmen are currently on tour in Canada and the United States. They just completed a four-day run of shows in Chicago, opening up for The Tragically Hip. Fans can stay up-to-date by logging onto www.the-watchmen.com for the band's tour diary and photos.
