Alphabeat performing their UK top 20 hit "The Spell" on GMTV, the first single taken from their second album "The Beat Is..." Both the single and album are out now. www.gm.tv
They use playback for many reasons: 1. British TV cameras can't take the frequencies of some amplifiers 2. British TV shows Allocate certain time for the bands and if they mime, the time is accurate. 3. British TV hates live playback.
it's a shame it is playback. I have the studio version on my computer so i can diffently hear that it is playback. Big shame cause Stine has one of the best voices in the whole world!
