Leave a comment

Just days before they kick off their US headlining tour, Rixton released their second single, “Wait On Me!”  We love Rixton’s Maroon 5 and Rob Thomas influenced sound, which is just as strong here as in their debut “Me and My Broken Heart.”   Listen to the track below!

The Broken Heart Tour kicks off on July 30th at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston.  Check out all of the dates here!   Pickup a copy of the Broken Heart EP and Wait On Me on iTunes now!

Patent Pending Release “Mario & The Brick Breakers”

3 Comments

When it came time for Long Island pop punk band Patent Pending to make a video for their hit single “Hey Mario” they decided to take the Rainbow Road less traveled.  The band figured – why not form a fake band and make a documentary showcasing the rise and fall of said fake band, Spinal Tap style.  Thus “Mario & The Brick Breakers” came to be.  Not being a band to do anything half way, they even created a “Mario & The Brick Breakers: Greatest Hits EP” to go along with the 30 minute documentary that will be broken up into 5 separate videos.    Watch the “Mario & The Brick Breakers” documentary trailer below!

One reason we love Patent Pending is how into everything they get.  Each band member showed some serious commitment in really becoming their Smash Bros. character!

You can get a copy of Mario & The Brick Breakers Greatest Hits EP using the links below.  Help get the album to the top of the charts!

They have a few more dates on the “American Meltdown Tour”  before they open for MKTO at Irving Plaza in August.  The band are also heading over to the UK for their special “Brighter UK” Tour this October. Grab your tickets HERE before they completely sell out!

5SOS Rock The Today Show!

Leave a comment

Tuesday was an awesome day to be a 5SOS fan:  the Aussie band’s debut album FINALLY got released in the US!   AND they had a rockin’ performance on The Today Show!  Ashton, Michael, Luke, and Calum were full of energy and they definitely showed the Today Show that they’re not just a teen sensation – they are talented musicians.  Rockefeller Center was packed with 5SOS fans in one of the largests Today Show crowds we’ve ever seen!  Someone even brought out a giant Will Smith face for the occasion that didn’t go unnoticed by the guys.

5 Seconds Of Summer performed three fan favorites on the TODAY Show!  Watch the videos for each below!

The band’s US album debut is something that is going to bring back the pop-punk to the youth of America.  It’s exactly the right blend of  Maryland’s own All Time Low and Good Charlotte, and the UK’s McFly and Busted.

If you’re reading this, you probably don’t need to be reminded but you can get 5SOS’s debut album on iTunes now!  Or head to Target and get their exclusive edition in your favorite color (Or all 4.  We don’t judge).

THE HEYDAZE Announce Summer Tour Dates!

Leave a comment

NYC based trio THE HEYDAZE, part of the iHeartRadio & Macy’s Rising Star lineup for 2014,  haven’t been around for that long but we have no doubts that you’ll be hearing a lot from these guys in the future.  THE HEYDAZE just had their first headlining show at New York’s Webster Hall last week – and it was a sold out show!

We love their catchy pop sound and energy. (Seriously, listen to “Little Bandit” once and you’ll be singing it for the next several days.  We guarantee it.)   Watch the video for their new single “Young Blood” below!

Like what you hear?  You can visit THE HEYDAZE’s Facebook page to download their songs (for free!)  Or catch THE HEYDAZE on the Northeast leg of Jesse McCartney’s “In Technicolor” Tour this summer.   We saw them open for AJR earlier this year, and they are just as fun live as their music.

Check out the dates below!   They hope to see you and all of your beautiful souls there.

Brandyn Burnette Releases Video for “Thanks For Nothing”

Leave a comment

Even if you haven’t heard of Brandyn Burnette yet, chances are you’ve heard one of his songs.   He’s written for artists like MKTO, Jake Miller, and Hot Chelle Rae, just to name a few, including their recent hits like “Heartbreak Holiday,” “First Flight Home” and “Don’t Say Goodnight.”   See what we mean?   Brandyn clearly knows more than a thing or two about writing a catchy pop song, and calls to mind other hit-makers turned solo artists (think Sia, Bruno Mars…)  He is definitely one to watch in 2014!

Brandyn is launching his career as a solo artist, with his first single, “Thanks For Nothing.”   When the song starts, you think it’s going to be a ballad…but then the chorus kicks in and it really packs a punch!   The unexpected, upbeat twist makes for one of the best breakup anthems we’ve ever heard.

Check out the video below and pickup a copy of the single on iTunes now!   Brandyn’s EP, “The Couch Surfing Chronicles” will be released later this fall by Warner Brothers Records.
