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!
Country duo Dan + Shay just released the music video for their new single “Nothin’ Like You” and its got our two favorite things: Dan + Shay and PUPPIES! Sure sounds like a dream to us! This is one of our favorite songs on their debut album, “Where It All Began.”
The band have a special message at the end of the video about adopting a shelter dog. Dan + Shay have worked with Proverbs 12:10 Animal Shelter in Nashville, and we love Dan’s adorable rescue dogs, Joy and Chief! Oh, and did we mention the video has PUPPIES!?
Watch the adorable video below and be sure to visit the Proverbs 12:10 Animal Shelter and the ASPCA to learn more about adopting and other ways you can help out!

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.
Be sure to pick up a copy of The Karma Killers’ new “Strange Therapy – EP” on iTunes or Amazon now.
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.

You know you’re in for a good night when a show kicks off with a blast of confetti! Jake Miller kept the energy level high from start to finish at the second stop of the Dazed and Confused Tour at the Best Buy Theater in NYC last night. The concert was one big dance party, led by Jake and his DJ.
Jake surprised everyone by dropping an EP the day of the tour kickoff. The “Rumors” EP had been out approximately 44 hours by the time of Jake’s NYC show, but that didn’t stop the crowd from knowing every single word to the new tracks. He played nearly the entire EP: “Rumors,” “Shake It,” “Selfish Girls,” and “Yellow Lights” were all highlights of his set.
Jake took time to interact with fans in the crowd, asking how long people had been in line (11 hours for one, and overnight for another in the front row!) Of course, when Jake called out some fans to say “hey, what’s your name?” he had to do it twice so they could take a video.
Other highlights of the set included a cover of “Uptown Funk,” which Jake turned into a club remix (like we said, one big dance party). One of the most touching moments of the set was Jake’s performance of “A Million Lives,” which he said would be many fans’ favorite moment of the show. The song perfectly captures the relationship between an artist and fan, and the power of music.
Jake even invited a lucky fan on stage to rap with him during his encore of “Dazed and Confused.” Watch the video below!
