We Could Be The Same is good, I saw them on Eurovision that year, but Turkish "Linkin Park", never. Like I said on another musician's thread, there won't be next Linkin Park, or nothing like them.
They are AWESOME. I wanted them to win the Eurovision a couple of years ago. We Could Be The Same and Fly to Stay Alive are only songs I've heard from them though.
