SIRIS continues a tradition of building a cultural bridge between East and West that has lasted over 11 years. The critically acclaimed group, formed by brothers Michael and Patrick Maley, was the first Western act to release an original Chinese-language album with its 1997 debut, "Till My Last Breath" (Zhi Dao Wo Zui Hou Yi Xi). In 2001 SIRIS released their critically acclaimed English debut entitled "The Order of Time." Grammy nominee and music legend Andrian Belew commented, "It's nice to hear something refreshing in a world of so many similar artists." In 2005, SIRIS shot to fame with its Mandarin hit single "Xing Fu" (Happiness). MTV described SIRIS' music as "Magical!" and stated "They should be embraced because there is sincerity in their work." ABC News commented: "SIRIS is certainly breaking down cultural barriers between east and west... these two guys from the City of Brotherly Love may just change the world of Rock!" In 2007 SIRIS released a brand new Chinese album "We're All The Same" (Wo Men Dou Yi Yang) and in 2008, just in time for the Beijing Olympics, SIRIS announced the release of their brand new "double" Chinese- and English-language album, "8". The new album contains an eclectic mix of 20 original Chinese and English songs. Prominent singles featured in the new release are "God Bless Sichuan", "I Was Chinese in My Previous Life", "China", "A Trip To Nowhere", and "You'll Be Okay". The Mandarin single "God Bless Sichuan" was pre-released on July 1 as a tribute to the survivors of the tragic Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008. The song features renowned mainland Chinese erhu soloist, Qin Qian. Since its July release, "God Bless Sichuan" has become the No. 1-played song on mainland China's most popular video-sharing Web site, Youku.com surpassing 3.5 million plays. SIRIS plans to embark on an extensive tour of Asia and North America in support of the new release. All proceeds from physical album sales and portions of tour revenue will go to Sichuan earthquake disaster relief.
