Artist to Watch: The Fooo Conspiracy

Leave a comment

There’s nothing we love more than boybands … especially when they can dance!   Our latest artist to watch, The Fooo Conspiracy, are not your average boyband.   Band mates Felix, Olly, Omar and Oscar have mastered the art of keeping audiences entertained with their mixture of classic boyband harmonies and choreographed dancing.   But the classically trained dancers actually choreograph their own dance moves and incorporate parkour into their performances!  (We can hear the fangirl screams now!)

The Foo Conspiracy have opened for Justin Bieber and The Vamps, and are currently on the POPNATION! Tour across the US this Summer with After Romeo and The Bomb Digz.    The group is also managed by Johnny Wright, who knows a thing or two about boybands himself:  he’s worked with New Kids on the Block, Justin Timberlake and the Jonas Brothers.

Their latest single, “Run With Us,” will have you dancing along in no time.   Like they sing, the party don’t start till they turn up!  Watch the video below.

If you’re heading to the POPNATION Tour, be sure to catch their high energy set! VIP tickets for the tour are available on the POPNATION! Tour website.  Check out the upcoming dates below.

Artist To Watch: TOPLINE

Leave a comment

There are two things we love more than anything: boybands and mysteries.  When we got wind of a “mystery boyband” we knew this was right up our alley.   TOPLINE is a brand new, LA- based boyband who are quickly catching the eyes and ears of fangirls all over the asking  “Who is TOPLINE?”

So far, there are no names or former bands (if any) attached to this new boyband, or if they’re even a boyband in the traditional sense at all.  (Do they dance?  We hope so!)  You can listen to a 30-second teaser of the band’s lead single “We Love It” exclusively on the TOPLINE Twitter page.  Topline’s sound centers around an acoustic guitar, a clap-along beat, and four voices that blend together just right!

The Karma Killers Debut New Video “Domino”

Leave a comment

New Jersey rock outfit The Karma Killers have just premiered their brand new video for “Domino” and it’s catchy!  This song is one for your summer playlist:  you’ll want to blast this with your convertible top down, playing air guitar (or drums), and singing at the top of your lungs.

The Karma Killers know just how to blend gritty rock with polished pop and they’ve hit a sweet spot with “Domino.”  The video follows singer Mickey as he drives around Los Angeles in a vintage car to meet the rest of the band  – bassist Mango, guitarist Billy, and drummer Josh, who are playing at a super cool basement party!
Watch the video below.

Artist To Watch: Parlement

It’s been a while since we’ve had an “Artist To Watch” but Parlement is definitely one to keep your eye on.  This Spanish rock band just released a brand new video for their song “Little Liar” and we’re loving the fresh new music just in time for Summer!

Parlement have that nostalgic rock sound from the eighties and nineties that really dig into your ribs and make you dance along.  The band, consisting of singer Stefan, guitarist Javi, drummer Carlos, and bassist Raul, blended the best of gritty garage and smooth indie rock to create an album that we’ll be putting into heavy rotation!

Watch the animated video for “Little Liar” below.

Parlement’s new album “Be Machinery/ You Oughta Be In Pictures” is now available on Amazon.
