The Vamps Throw “Wake Up” Release Party In NYC

The Vamps played one final show for the year at Webster Hall in NYC, in celebration of the release of their sophomore album, “Wake Up.”   The show was one big party from start to finish, as Brad, James, Connor and Tristan played tracks from the new album along with their hit singles.  The energetic crowd knew every word and shouted and danced along with the band all night.

Near the middle of the set, the band announced they were going to do something “they’d never done before” as Brad moved from the stage to a box in the middle of the crowd.  He then played a solo, acoustic, unplugged rendition of “Shout It Out.”   It turned into a nice, intimate singalong for everyone.

It’s hard to believe The Vamps first headlining show (ever!) was in NYC nearly 2 years ago.  They’ve come a long way since then as a band – they’ve sold out the O2 Arena in London, gone on full arena tours around the world all while still remaining their silly selves and good friends.

The Vamps are fun to watch live because of the incredible energy they bring to every show.  They added in new instrumental parts to songs that displayed their musicianship and ability to keep their show fresh every night.  The guys even rearranged their hit song “Last Night” into a rousing and fun filled ska song that had the entire audience on their feet.

Near the end of their set, the band took time to do a Q&A with the audience answering all their fans’ burning questions from what’s their favorite pizza topping (Con likes chicken) to what song means the most to them (Brad said “Coming Home”).

The Friday Five: 2015 Albums of the Year (Pop)

It feels like we just wrote our 2014 Albums of the Year post about 5 minutes ago, but it’s time to look back on our favorite albums of 2015!   Here are our picks for our top pop albums of the year.  We included 2 EPs because they were too good NOT to and we’re crossing our fingers for full albums from them next year!

1.  Selena Gomez – “Revival”
After a public split from The Biebs, Selena Gomez is back! “Revival” was well worth the wait.

2. Carly Rae Jepsen – “E·MO·TION”
Carly Rae is easily one of the most underestimated pop artists, and one that certainly knows how to make a throwback album that sounds like it came straight out of the 80s.  (in a good way) 

3. The Vamps – “Wake Up”
The Vamps are poised to take over America with their new album and it’s about time – they’re so good!

4. Hilary Duff – “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
Hilary Duff’s 5th studio album was well worth the (long!) wait.

5. DNCE – “SWAAY”
This EP makes us want to sway and dance to every song!  We can’t wait for a full album from Joe, Cole, JinJoo, and Jack.

5. Jake Miller – “Rumors”
This EP was one of our favorites that came out in 2015 – every track is a JAM!  We’re anxious for new music from Jake Miller.

Forever In Your Mind “Wrapped Up For Christmas”

We’re always searching for new jams to add to our Christmas playlists, and boyband Forever In Your Mind just wrapped up and delivered a new song and video!  “Wrapped Up For Christmas” will get you in the Holiday spirit.  Watch the video below!
