Jake Miller is proving that independent artists are forces to be reckoned with! With a HUGE sold out “Hit And Run Tour” kicking off in April, the Florida native announced the self release of his brand new album “Silver Lining” dropping on March 9th.
He shared the news on Instagram with the surreal artwork stating, “This album is about letting go of past experiences and bad energy and focusing on the road ahead. Understanding that something positive always comes out of something negative.” Check out the artwork below.
We Were Sharks are heating things up ahead of their hotly anticipated album Lost Touch dropping on February 23rd through Victory Records. We can’t get enough of the Cananadian group’s refreshingly bright and equally melencholy sound on the new album. We got the chance to sit down with singer Randy Frobel during their headlining tour in Brooklyn, NY and he’s just as charming as you’d expect! We Were Sharks brought their high energy set to Gold Sounds Bar, showing NYC how Canada parties.
Watch our interview below and see what Randy’s favorite song on Lost Touch is, his must-haves on tour, and who caught him totally fangirling in Ottowa recently.
Be sure to pre-order a copy of Lost Touch on iTunes or Amazon now!
Our latest Artist To Watch, We Were Sharks are hitting the road early in 2018 to gear up for the release of their brand new album Lost Touch on February 23rd. The album is called Lost Touch but We Were Sharks haven’t lost touch with the genuine feeling and joy that pop punk brings to the entire scene.
“Beyond Repair” kicks off the album like shattering the glass walls surrounding the album. Lost Touch as a whole shows the obvious personal and musical growth of the band from their previous releases and brings them to the forefront of the genre. We Were Sharks are poised to take their rightful spot on the list of our favorite releases for 2018 so far.
“Hotel Beds” is a stand out track with the bouncey scream along chorus and contrasting verses. However, “Stay” is the pinnacle of the album. Lyrically and musically, “Stay” is the closest the band comes to radio perfection on the album which should be more than enough to push them through to Summer song playlist domination.
Broadside’s Ollie Baxter brings his sugary sweet vocals on “Late Bloomer.” The track centers on the topic of keeping a hold on things you loved when you were young. Ollie brings that something we were missing and really catapults the album through to the end.
Lost Touch is a solid listen start to finish filled with odes to the glory days of pop punk and sing along choruses. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for We Were Sharks!
Watch the official video for “Ashley” now!
Lost Touch will be released February 23rd through Victory Records. Pre-order bundles are available HERE and include exclusive items like posters, t-shirts, and hoodies. Pre-order your copy on iTunes and Amazon so you can sing along on tour!

Fly By Midnight have been putting in the hours and 2018 is shaping up to be a HUGE year for these guys! The guys just won Firefly’s “Big Break Artist of 2018” contest and get the once in a lifetime opportunity to perform at Firefly Festival in Delaware this May! Wanting to revive the most classic “guilty pleasure” tracks and the biggest female driven anthems from the early 2000s, Justin Bryte and Slavo just released a brand new mini EP to kick start the new year with some throwback vibes.
“The Boombox Series” mini EP is a small taste of Fly By Midnight’s wide musical influences. The first song they dropped was an infectious cover of Michelle Branch’s “Everywhere” which was literally everywhere when it first came out, and still follows us! The second track was Rihanna’s “Umbrella” which is such an iconic song that we still whisper sing it to ourselves every time it rains.
Today, FBM share the final track from their mini EP, “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne. JBryte and Slavo put their own twist on the power pop punk track with their distinct layered vocals making this a fun synthy remix that even the most secret fangirl wouldn’t be ashamed to admit they love!
Check out the fun video for their cover of “Complicated” below!

We’ve all read the stories of that one member going solo to pursue their own music. Some flop and some float. Camila Cabello, like her many predecessors, is most certainly floating right now! Her impressive debut solo album, simply titled “Camila” clocks in a brisk 37 minutes of pure bliss.
While most of the narrative of Camila’s departure from having to harmonize with four subpar singers played out through 2017, she announced that she was releasing her debut solo album. As the album started to take shape and singles were released, new music was spilling from writing sessions among other things forcing the original release date to get pushed back.
All of this gave Camila full control over an album that would introduce her to a whole new audience. The album title changed, the sound of album changed, Camila released her now platinum single “Havana”, and ditched songs co-written and produced by the slick-ricks in favor of a sound that’s much more Cuban influenced, and much more distinct to the rising star.
After 4 or 5 full album listens, there is not one track on this album that we would dream of skipping! Each track has its own story and Camila navigates her way through all 10 tracks, ranging from Latin infusion to wistful piano ballads like a pro. “She Loves Control” is an early front runner for our favorite track. Produced by Skrillex, “Control” is definitely a “boss b*tch” track without being loud and in your face. It makes you want to hit the dance floor and what else – control it!
“Consequences,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and “Real Friends” slow the album down on the back half, giving Camila a chance to fully wear her heart on her sleeve. On the hauntingly hollow acoustic “Real Friends,” you can hear just how much LA takes a toll on someone who has a pure heart and desire to make those real connections that you can only find in those who stuck by you when you were at the lowest points in your life.
Camila’s ability to make you feel every emotion at once is on full display on “In The Dark” – easily our number one favorite track on this entire album. “In The Dark” is where the real heart shines through asking “Who are you in the dark? Show me the scary parts,” you almost start answering her back because you don’t want her to keep wondering about you.
After forcing you to reach inside and dig deep, Camila closes her impressive debut album with a sultry synth twinged track “Into It.” This track makes us lose all control and dance like the weirdos we are, like nobody’s watching!
As a whole, “Camila” is a slow burn full of red hot tracks that could all very well be singles in their own right. Don’t believe us? Pick up a copy of “Camila” on iTunes or Amazon and we dare you to not dance along!

Hoodie Allen had been teasing news about his upcoming album all Summer long and we finally have the details! His much awaited new album, “The Hype,” will drop on September 29th. Hoodie also dropped the first single from the album, “Sushi,” and it was well worth the wait. We’ve had it on repeat for days.
