Full disclosure:  We used to think Rixton’s “Me and My Broken Heart” was a Maroon 5 song.  Until we got to the chorus and started singing  the words to “I don’t wanna be lonely no more” and then got confused when Rob Thomas wasn’t singing along with us.  But it’s exactly these influences that have made Rixton such a success in the US with their first single.  And the track was actually co-written by Rob Thomas, so don’t feel bad for them ripping off “Lonely No More.”  That hook was just so good the first time around, why not remix it?

Rixton are heading out on a major headlining US tour this summer!  They’ve already sold out dates in New York and Los Angeles (but don’t worry, they added additional shows in each city!)   Although the 4 lads in Rixton hail from the UK, you an actually get their EP on iTunes in America now!  UK fans won’t have to wait much longer – it’ll be released on July 13th on iTunes for you!  (Don’t we usually have the opposite problem here? ahem The Vamps…)

The guys just released a cover of “Problem” by Ariana Grande.  Check it out below!
