Few artists can get the internet buzzing like Shawn Mendes. Within minutes of announcing something big was coming, #ShawnsFirstHeadlines was trending worldwide. Shawn revealed the dates one by one, sending the internet into a frenzy by giving only coordinates as clues or things like “We heard there’s some pretty awesome food here.” (Which we immediately and accurately guessed as Paris because yes, the food there is AWESOME, and Shawn you must try some Pierre Herme macaroons while you’re there.)
The new shows are an extension of Shawn’s first headlining shows last fall, where he hit New York, Los Angeles and Toronto. Be ready to buy tickets because those shows sold out in minutes, and we’re sure this next round will too! The first 50 ticket buyers in each city will also get a free meet & greet with Shawn at the show! Everyone will get a copy of Shawn’s debut album when it’s released. Tickets go on sale on January 24th at 12pm local time for the US, and January 23rd 9am local time for dates in the UK and Europe. Set those alarms! Visit ShawnMendes.com for more info.

The multi-talented Jack Skuller just released the video for his single, “Hard to Want.” The video is one of our favorites at the moment – it’s cute, funny and creative. It was edited and “poorly drawn” by Jack himself, but hey it’s way better than anything we could have done! The track showcases Jack’s vocal talents, as well as his skills on both harmonica and guitar. Watch the video below!

Connecticut’s own Alec Chambers recently released his debut single “Whole Again” and announced an EP coming in early 2015. The EP was produced by Robbie Gauriglia (Oh Honey) and features songs co-written by Lee Groves (Black Eyed Peas.) At 19, Alec is being hailed as a “teen virtuoso,” having understood chord charts well before he could drive. He taught himself how to play guitar by learning to play his favorite songs by ear.
Each song on the EP was co-written by Alec, who has written dozens of songs, many with platinum selling songwriter-producer Sara Nagourney. Alec is a talented multi-instrumentalist with a guitar driven pop sound. His debut single is one of those tracks you just want to put on repeat, and we can’t wait to hear more!
Listen to his single “Whole Again” below and be sure to pickup a copy on iTunes now!
Alec Chambers will be playing a few shows around the New York City area in the new year! Check out the dates below.

Philly based pop duo The Weekend Riot just released their first single called “25 Minutes.” The band is definitely one to watch in 2015 – earlier this year, they scored a prime spot opening for MKTO with Tiffany Houghton at TLA in Philadelphia, and just played a shows with Emblem 3 and The Hollywood Ending. The two friends and bandmates, Johnny Costa (vocals) and Bruce Wiegner (vocals and guitar) write infectious pop tunes with polished harmonies. We think their debut single sounds like Hot Chelle Rae meets MKTO.

NYC’s THE HEYDAZE are one to lookout for in 2015. Since forming earlier this year, they’ve opened for Jesse McCartney and Timeflies, and had a sold out headlining show at Webster Hall. The band crafts extremely catchy, feel good pop music that anyone can enjoy – the kind of music you want to play driving around with the windows down and the stereo up, singing along at the top of your lungs.
Their music is a collaborative effort between members Jesse Fink (vocals and guitar), Andrew Spelman (lead guitar), Alexander Glantz (drums), and Andrew Underberg (keyboard and production). The band has a gift for writing hooks, and songs infused with playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics (See “Adderall,” “Don Juan,” etc.)
We sat down with THE HEYDAZE at Webster Hall before their last stop on Timeflies’ After Hours Tour and talked about everything from how they met to what music they grew up listening to. The band is just as fun as their music. Watch our interview below!
You can see THE HEYDAZE in NYC at Gramercy Theatre on December 19th! Trust us, you don’t want to miss this. Get your tickets now!
