Shiffley Release “Sleepless Night” Remixes

Our friends in Shiffley have been relatively quiet lately, but their latest single “Sleepless Night” just got the remix treatment from a bunch of awesome collaborators!  The remixes are packaged together and bring out the best of the single on each remix.

These are perfect for whatever mood you’re in whether you’re mellowing out to the Figaro “Sleepytime Tea” Remix or getting ready for a night out with your friends to the N2N remix.  We had a hard time picking a favorite but the Shinynaut remix is really good!  It highlights the high energy of the track and adds in a subtle ticking clock just before the big drop.  If any of these could easily be worked into a Skrillex set, it’s this one!

Listen to all of the “Sleepless Nights” Remixes below and try to pick a favorite!

The Vamps and Citizen Four Perform at Sold Out Gramercy Theatre In NYC

It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years since The Vamps’ first headlining show (ever!) in NYC, at Gramercy Theatre back in February 2014.  James, Connor, Tristan and Brad have come a long way since then, selling out arenas like the O2 in London and dropping 2 albums along the way.  It’s been a while since the boys have had a headlining show in NYC, and we were thrilled to see them back at the Gramercy Theatre last night!

The Vamps certainly know how to put on a high energy show – it’s impossible not to sing and dance along!  The enthusiastic crowd knew and sang along to every word, including their brand new single “All Night.”  Their set included songs from both albums, from “Can We Dance” to “Wake Up,”   and they brought out a special guest during “Somebody To You!”  Sabrina Carpenter, who is opening for The Vamps in Europe, joined the guys to sing Demi Lovato’s part.

Brad told the crowd since he’s been in America for a while now, he’d caught on to some slang.  “Get ready because tonight is going to be ‘lit’ and you’re all going to get ‘turnt up.'”  (Imagine this with a British accent).  The band does an excellent job of getting the crowd involved, calling out fans in the audience and encouraging them to sing along.  Brad even jumped off stage near the end of the show to get closer to the fans!

p1670426

At the end of the night when the band left the stage, instead of the usual “encore” chants, the crowd broke out into an a cappella version of “All Night.”   Their singing morphed into The Vamps coming back on to play the song themselves.  It was a perfect ending that left everyone wanting more!

If you didn’t make it to the show last night, not to worry:  Brad promised that they would be back “very soon” and are going on tour in North America this Summer!   Stay tuned for the announcement coming soon!

Our new favorite boyband, Citizen Four, kicked the night off in style with their sweet harmonies and smooth dance moves.  We’ve been singing their single “Testify” ever since.  The best way to describe it is 🔥🔥🔥.  Conner, Carson, Austin, and Josh are so much fun to watch live!  They had the crowd rocking and we’re sure they gained quite a few new fans after that performance!

DREAMCAR Ft. Members of AFI & No Doubt Release “Kill For Candy”

The new sickly sweet project DREAMCAR is the marriage of No Doubt members Tony Kanal Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont and AFI/Blackq Audio frontman Davey Havok.  The first single “Kill For Candy,” produced by Tim Pagnotta from Sugarcult is taken from the band’s debut self titled album due out May 12th on Columbia Records.

We mentioned how sickly sweet the single is but it’s catchy and will definitely set the tone for our Summer playlist this year.   “There’s an honesty in all of my lyrics,” Havok states. “This one speaks to a perhaps dangerous and unhealthy desire for the sweet.”

Watch the lyric video for DREAMCAR’s first single  “Kill For Candy” below!

DREAMCAR also announced a string of live dates surrounding their performances at Coachella 2017 as well as their live television debut on Jimmy Kimmel on April 18th!  Check out the tour dates below.

We The Kings Rock Playstation Theater In NYC

We The Kings are celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their self-titled album with a huge tour with Cute Is What We Aim For.   The special anniversary tour stopped at Playstation Theater in NYC over the weekend to a packed house.  Travis, Coley, Charles, Danny, and Hunter put on one of the most high energy shows we’ve seen in a while, covering the entire stage and making sure every fan felt the love from the front row all the way to the back of the venue. Throughout the show, the band took time to thank the fans for sticking with the band through thick and thin, and acknowledged that without them, the band wouldn’t be celebrating such a milestone in their band history.

p1660221

Travis promised to share his favorite memories from the past 10 years on this tour from the making of the first album and he made good on that promise!  Throughout the night, he shared anecdotes about the inspiration for some of the album’s tracks.  “Stay Young” was a fun song that was inspired by a food fight backstage in the Green Room while the band were warming up for a show.

p1660421

One of the highlights of their set was their choreographed dance with the entire audience during “I Feel Alive.” Travis encourages the audience to get into the lowest “sorority squat” that they can and then jump up and down like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing man during the chorus and just feel…well, alive!

p1660782

WTK started AND ended the show with their hit “Check Yes Juliet.”  Yes, that’s right.  It’s so good that they played it twice in the same show.   They know what the people want and the crowd went insane both times they played it.

p1660454

Lead singer Travis Clark made sure to take a second to soak in the huge crowd and thank all of the fans who have stuck by WTK for the last 10 years by saying “thank you” about 10 languages.

Openers Plaid Brixx and Astro Lasso are two promising newcomers that really came out guns blazing to win over the NYC crowd! We hope to see more from both bands in the near future.

p1640862

Cute Is What We Aim For got the crowd on their feet and played all of their throwback hits like “The Curse Of Curves,”  “Practice Makes Perfect,” and “Risque.”  Singer Shaant Hacikyan reflected on his bands own 10 year tour for their debut album that took place late last year and how grateful he was for the opportunity to join another special 10 year tour.

Knuckle Puck Announce “Calendar Days/Indecisive” Vinyl, Release “Indecisive”

Knuckle Puck are starting to tease some new music they have been hard at work on and they just released a brand new song called “Indecisive.”  The new song marks the first new music since their last album “Copacetic” came out in July 2015.   We love the Brand New and Dashboard Confessional influence in the new track but while some fans were worried the band had gone soft, the guys insist they haven’t lost their edge.  The brand new 7″ features two new singles “Calendar Days” and “Indecisive” is out now!

Listen to “Indecisive” below and decide for your self.

Pick up a copy of the “Calendar Days/Indecisive” 7″ on iTunes, Amazon or through the official Knuckle Puck merch store.

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.

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

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!
