Speaking with Songfacts in an interview, Iversen explained how the song got in the Apple commercial: "We have this company working for us in the States called Synch, and they got in touch with Apple. I think they had this meeting with Steve Jobs himself, and he picked that song out of the bunch and said, 'This is it, this is the new track for the iPod Touch.' Apparently he just loved that track, but we never saw it as one of our singles. We have some other songs that we thought would be great singles, and that would work cool on for the radio, but he really loved that song."
The Asteroids reached instant global exposure when their song Around The Bend was featured in an Apple iPod Touch advert in late 2008. Their music also appeared in US hit TV series Gossip Girl, CSI Miami as well as Chuck.
Around The Bend was also chosen as one of the key tracks to the R.J. Cuttler documentary "The September Issue", based on Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Their song The Golden Age is featured in the latest Heineken advert The Entrance from 2011.
Their first show ever was as opening act for Amy Winehouse in their local Copenhagen and Katy Perry chose The Asteroids as opener for her European tour summer of 2009.
The band spend most of 2009 touring all around Europe and the US with their six piece live band which includes trumpet, saxophone, drums, guitar, keys, bass and more...
The press says:
Addictive quirky soulful Pop Music with attitude,
sweeping musical arrangements with one of the hippest vocals around, Known for their infectious live shows, shiny, shimmering, upbeat pop, albeit with a horn-infused, slightly psychadelic edge, C-walking, up rockin’ leg-splitting and hip-shaking their way through, infusion sound like no other,
effervescent music that reminds you of a dozen glorious summerskaleidoscopic monster, bubbly and hypnotic...
At the moment they are busy recording new material for future releases and getting ready for playing their "FRUIT" spring/summer tour around the world for festivals and club shows.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you are cray, for a better day
Never say, so wild away, be always lave, for devils say, it's my or your afraid
Billy grey, be a slave, everyday, create the wave, create your own fake
Fail,
I push the envelope, watch out, come on
I push the envelope, watch out, come on
Come on
Come on

Come on
Single mind, waste in time, do in vine, lost in time, sure you're off the line
Make it shine, for the dawn, but all, there's no battlecry
You were climb,
But you decline, do the blame, I'm staying alert yeah
I known you know
I push the envelope, watch out, come on
I push the envelope, watch out, come on
I push the envelope, watch out, come on
I push the envelope, watch out, come on

I push the envelope, watch out, come on
The lyrics of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's song Push The Envelope seem to express a desire to be free and break away from the norm. The singer encourages the listener to be okay and leave their troubles behind, to have a better day and not give up, to always love and not be afraid of their own potential. The lyrics mention Billy Grey, who could be interpreted as a symbol of conformity and slavery to the system, contrasting with the idea of creating one's wave and one's own fake.
The chorus of the song, "I push the envelope, watch out, come on," conveys a sense of determination and readiness to take risks and explore uncharted territories. The "envelope" could be seen as a metaphor for pushing the limits of what is possible or acceptable, trying to exceed expectations and break free from conventions. The repeated "Come on" at the end of each verse and the chorus further emphasize this call to action, urging the listener to join in and follow the lead.
Overall, Push The Envelope seems to be a catchy and upbeat anthem for those who seek to challenge themselves and others, to inspire change and innovation, and to embrace their individuality and creativity.

Anyway you're Ok, I'm away to the day
When you won't pray for a better day
Never say 'stay wide awake', be always late
For devil's sake smile when you're afraid
In the grey be a slave everyday
Create a wave, create your own fate
But you will fail the bullet hail
Lack the will, they'll be chasing your tail
Push the envelope, wild child, come on [x2]
Come on [x2]
Now
Come on [x3]
Single mind, wasting time, doing fine
Most of the time, sure you walk the line
Make it shine for the dime that always shines
Leave it behind there's no better crime
You will climb til you find
You're sat in grime, oh sublime
Rhymes ahead of time
But you decline to the blind, we'll stay alive
Yeah! I know you know that you're divine
Push the envelope, wild child, come on [x4]
Come on [x18]
Sometimes you'll feel like you're running around in the clouds
Sometimes you'll feel like you're living your life wasting time
Oh, you're so true yet so blue, is it all in your mind?
Tell me, amaze me, seduce me, you still make it mine
Oh yeah
Hey!
Push the envelope, wild child, come on [x4]

Gotta thank Heineken for introducing me to my current favorite band. The whole album (Fruit) is so so good. Track after track is just great without being repetitive and I just can't seem to get sick of it!

AGT is one of my favorite new bands from this decade. They just have a fresh sound that seems like an extension of everything that I already love. Call them a guilty pleasure.
