Friday Five: St. Patrick’s Day Songs

Leave a comment

It’s Friday and it’s St. Patrick’s Day which means time for an Irish themed Friday Five!   While we probably won’t be joining the NYC St. Patrick’s Day parade festivities, we’ll just sit here wearing our green, and quietly wish Disney was playing “Luck Of The Irish” on TV tonight.  We struggled to pick just five songs to put on this list but we let the 4 leaf  clovers to work their magic. Celebrate St. Patrick and bring out your Irish side with these tracks!

NKOTB – “Hanging Tough”
Helloooo!! NKOTB wrote this to be the Boston Celtics theme song and to be Irish, you gotta be hangin’ tough!  On tour, the New Kids sample Dropkick Murphys as well for the intro so double yes!

Flogging Molly – “Drunken Lullabies”
As far as Celtic influenced bands go, Flogging Molly is a tried and true classic.  If you’re looking for something to get yourself in the spirit of the holiday, these guys are top notch!

Dropkick Murphys – “Shipping Up To Boston”
Whether you realize this song is by Dropkick Murphys or not, you have heard this song and we’re pretty sure you love it as much as we do. NKOTB sample this for the “Hanging Tough” intro on tour, athletes use it as their walk up song, and in numerous commercials.  This is the officially unofficial theme song for the city of Boston, MA. We rest our case.

B*Witched – “C’est La Vie”
Arguably one of the most underrated artists from the late 90s and early 2000s, B*Witched are still touring.  Currently, they are on tour in Australia with Atomic Kitten and Liberty X.  We had a hard time picking between “Rollercoaster” and C’est La Vie” but  that’s just life and this is just a classic song!

House Of Pain – “Jump Around” 
It’s Friday, and it’s a holiday.  Go ahead, jump around.  We won’t judge you!  Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Friday Five: Simple Plan Songs From NPNHJB

Leave a comment

You will always love the music that you liked when you were 13.  This is one of the most true statements we have ever heard! Simple Plan, as bizarre as it sounds, has had a profound effect on us…well one of us anyway.  They’re the reason we picked up the guitar, the reason we wore those huge khaki shorts with tall tube socks, Vans, and Role Model clothing.  Yeah….we were super fangirls for SP, complete with an email address dedicated to Seb’s eyes!  We won’t get into that now though.  Here is our Friday Five favorite deep cuts from the Canadian band’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets, Just Balls” which they’re currently playing in full on the 15th Anniversary Tour!

“Meet You There”  – This is one of the  songs on an album full of angsty emo teen songs. No matter where life takes us, we’ll always meet Simple Plan there.

“My Alien” – It seems like every good pop punk band need a song about aliens, space, and/or  girlfriends. SP hit all three targets.  Thy went and got the Astronaut kit so if you can provide the rocket, they’ll be with their beloved 4 leg/2 armed girlfriend again.

“You Don’t Mean Anything” – When your two favorite singers collab on a single, that’s definitely going to be your favorite song! Joel Madden from Good Charlotte lent his vocals to the third track on SP’s debut album and we’re still surprised this was never a single.

“The Worst Day Ever”  – If you thought “I’m Just A Kid” was emo, this song takes the cake for being one of the most emo songs we have ever heard.

“One Day” – The acoustic picking in this song sounds out of place with the rest of the album if you’re not looking at the big picture of early 2000s music. SP really are masters at their craft because if you just heard this song with no context or name attached, chances are you might not realize it’s the same band that wrote “I’m Just A Kid.”  This is still one of our favorite emo deep cuts, hands down!

Chase Atlantic Release “Into It” Music Video Via Snapchat

1 Comment

Chase Atlantic are the heart of what’s new and fun in music and they don’t shy away from unorthodox ways of doing things. The guys just released their new video for “Into It” on Snapchat which is pretty dang cool if you ask us!  When they announced their tactic early in the week, we weren’t quite sure what to expect or how that was going happen since Snaps only last for 24 hours max unless the person who posted them saves them. We knew that we had to follow the guys to get the full story!  Pun fully intended.

Brothers Mitchell and Clinton Cave together with their friend Christian Anthony were just teasing us with their Snapstory music video because they released the entire music video on Facebook shortly after and quickly racked up 5k+ views on it!

The guys edited all of their fun and rowdy Snap stories together from the past couple of months to their new single, “Into It.”  There are snaps from the studio, the guys hanging with Benji and Joel Madden and the MDDN Co management team, traveling to NYC, and even some live shots of the band performing.  We love the creativity behind this video and can’t wait to see what Chase Atlantic come up with next!  Watch the video below.

SWMRS Premiere “D’You Have A Car?” Music Video

Leave a comment

SWMRS just released their official music video for “D’You Have A Car?” and it’s filled with some pretty awesome tour footage and memories from the last few months.  The song is from the band’s debut album “Drive North” which has been picking up some serious steam since the band signed to Fueled By Ramen and re-released their debut album with major label support behind them.

We can’t wait for SWMRS to come back Stateside for more shows but for now, catch the band opening for All Time Low in Europe all March long!  Watch the official video for “D’You Have A Car?” below.

Be sure to grab a copy of “Drive North” on iTunes or Amazon so you can sing along on tour.

Florida Georgia Line + Backstreet Boys Release “God, Your Mama, And Me” Video

Leave a comment

The new single from Florida Georgia Line and Backstreet Boys combines two of our favorite things: country music and boybands! The song is heartfelt and sweet with both bands singing in harmony about how unconditionally they love their wives. The brand new video shows each member filming the most romantic things they’ve done for their better half- from filling a hotel hot tub with rose petals, to a picnic by the lake, to little things like bringing their wife her favorite drink on the beach!

This collaboration is a match made in music heaven and we are swooning over it.  FGL shared on tour last Summer that they learned everything they learned about performing from their first concert: Backstreet Boys!  They even perform “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” as part of their 90s medley on tour.   “We’ve become friends with them [Backstreet Boys] at this point,” says Tyler Hubbard about their full fledged friendship with the boyband.

Watch the video for “God, Your Mama, And Me” featuring Backstreet Boys below!

Leave a comment

Hunter Hayes just dropped the music video for his new single, “Yesterday’s Song!”  The track is the first single of off Hunter’s upcoming 3rd full length album (and it’s so good we’ve left it playing on repeat since the first time we heard it).  Hunter is always one to try out the latest technology to make more immersive experiences for his fans, and we love what he’s done with this video.  The video, in collaboration with YouTube, is a Virtual Reality video that shows Hunter in the studio.  You can see Hunter playing each instrument in the song, isolated: drums, guitar, vocals, sample machine, and more.

To watch the video on a computer, you’ll need to use Google Chrome browser.  Make sure you use the navigation arrows to scroll around and see Hunter playing each instrument!   Or, use a VR headset to get the full, immersive experience of the video.  You’ll feel like you’re right in the studio with Hunter!   Watch the video for “Yesterday’s Song” below!
