Singles

Only two singles were released, All The Kids Are Right, a song about a band who's reputation were ruined because of a bad performance, and All Right (Oh Yeah). A video was shot for All the Kids Are Right and a video for All Right (Oh Yeah) was in the works, but was scrapped after there record label Island was mergered into Universal. "Cool Magnet" was going to be the third, but the band left Island by then, so that was canceled, too.
