Artist To Watch: Waterparks

Leave a comment

Waterparks have made a splash in the pop punk community with their recent signing with Equal Vision Records and bringing on MDDN Managers – Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte – to help the band dive right in.

Bad puns aside, this Texas bred trio are equal parts pop, rock, and polished angst.  This isn’t the band’s first foray into big name collaborations – they’ve released songs with Fred Mascherino from Taking Back Sunday, and even opened for Aaron Carter (Weird, we know!)

Awsten Knight, Otto Wood, and Geoff Wigington are well versed in crafting catchy punk songs and we can’t wait to hear what their debut full length has in store because their previous EPs are already racking up some serious spins in the Fangirl office!

Next up, Waterparks are set to open for Good Charlotte’s triumphant and sold out comeback show at The Troubador in LA on November 19th.

Artist To Watch: Farro

Leave a comment

Josh Farro might have left Paramore a few years ago but he’s not done with music just yet.  After shying away from singing and swearing off being in another band, Josh began collaborating with some friends and soon found he had an entire album written that he was itching to release.  Farro is no stranger to song writing, he’s credited with co-writing some of Paramore’s biggest hits including “Misery Business” and “Ignorance.”

Josh recently premiered a brand new song called “Cliffs” after teasing new music on social media.  Farro promises a full album, “Walkways” due out March 1st, and extensive touring in the coming year.   The new single is an uplifting, guitar driven song about taking a chance on the unknown.  The chorus urges “Jump in the water before you change your mind/ Don’t wait any longer/ You’re going to be alright/ You’ll make it out alive.”

Watch the official video for “Cliffs” below.

DNCE Release Debut Track “Cake By The Ocean”

Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years since the Jonas Brothers’ breakup.  Since  that tragic day in fangirl history, we’ve seen Nick J successfully launch a solo project with hit singles like “Chains” and “Jealous.”  But what about Joe?  While he’s proved that he’s very good at internet, he’s kept a lower profile since the bands demise (at least music wise).  We’ve been hoping for a comeback and are so excited that Joe is officially back, this time with his new band, DNCE!  He’s joined by ex-Jonas Brothers drummer Jack Lawless, JinJoo Lee and Cole Whittle.

Their first single, “Cake By The Ocean,” premiered on Z100 last night.  It’s strange and catchy in the best way, and is nothing short of Joe’s ticket back to the top of the charts.  It’s so good in fact, that Z100 broke all the rules of radio and played it twice in a row.   Listen to the track below!

James Maslow Premieres “Lies” on SoundCloud

Leave a comment

James Maslow has taken the first step into the music world as a solo artist with a brand new single, “Lies” which he performed live for the first time at VidCon in Los Angeles.  He’s been busy in the studio writing songs for what we hope to be his debut solo album!   We can’t wait! James, may we suggest the album cover and name as “Breakout Dreams?” Although that really was too much cloud.

Listen to the single on James’ SoundCloud and watch James perform the song for the first time below!   We hope he’ll incorporate some choreography into his future performances, as well all know the man can DANCE.

James will also be performing at the Stream Con in NYC!  Get all the info HERE.

Be sure to pick up a copy of the single on iTunes and Amazon now.

Olivia Somerlyn Releases New Single, “O X O”

Leave a comment

Our favorite Secret Fangirl, Olivia Somerlyn just premiered a brand new single called “O X O.”  She’s been on tour nonstop for the past few months, opening for Meghan Trainor and Lindsey Stirling.   Why “O X O” instead of the usual “XOXO?”  As she wrote on Twitter, “It’s a reverse XOX because you wouldn’t normally give Xs and Os to the people who try to bring you down.”   Listen to the track on Spotify below!
