I am looking for the group whose music track is playing in the new
(late summer/fall 2005) Pontiac G6 commercial. The commerical is shot
in predominantly dark tones, with a black Pontiac G6 in the foreground
and a very faint spider's web backdrop. The voice over says something
to the effect of "who knew Pontiac had a dark side". Once again, I am
looking for the name of the group and track title of the song that is
playing in the backround. Thanks.

I believe the song you want is "A Day Like Today," by Tom McRae.

post this as your official Answer.

The sound of the track is somewhat "trip-hop" in feel and texture,
slow and hypnotic. I hope this helps(I realize that Pontiac has used
several artists to sell their G6 including Kasabian but this recent
song is not done by them).

Did you check the other G6 commercials that can be viewed by using the
first link I posted?

Actually I stand corrected. I apologize Pinkfrued. It was Tom McRae !
Thank you very much. Your answer was the correct one.....

I'm glad to have been able to help you identify the song as "A Day
Like Today," by Tom McRae.

I knew about the Pontiac link that I posted above because I had sought
out the same information myself, about a month ago. The music from the
G6 commercial haunted me, and I wanted to know more about it. Once I
learned the name of the song, I ordered the Tom McRae CD, "Just Like
Blood," and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend the album.

Best regards,
