Happy Friday! Here’s what we’ve been listening to this week.
5. Demi Lovato – “Trainwreck”
We’re seeing the Neon Lights Tour tonight, and hoping that she’ll bring back this classic from her first album
4. Justin Timberlake – “Murder”/”Poison” Mashup
If you haven’t caught JT’s 20/20 Experience Tour yet, what are you waiting for? This mashup of “Murder” and Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison” is a highlight in the nearly 3-hour show.
3. Austin Mahone – “Till I Find You”
We caught Austin’s Artist to Watch Tour at Hammerstein Ballroom this week, and immediately fell in love with this song. It sounds like something NSYNC could have released, which is always a good thing! But Austin (the one man boy band) has yet another winner with this song. When is his album coming out again?! We’ve been waiting so long!!
2. Dan + Shay – “What You Do To Me”
This song was released once pre-orders went live for their debut album, “Where It All Began,” out April 1st. And we immediately listened to it 5 times in a row. We love what we’ve heard from Dan + Shay so far, and can’t wait for more!
1. Austin Mahone – “What About Love”
Yes, Austin gets to be on this list twice because his show at Hammerstein Ballroom was just that good. We’re still trying to learn the “What About Love” dance. Maybe Austin can teach us next tour?
5 Seconds Of Summer are coming to Europe! The guys are hitting 5 countries in 5 days on a whirlwind mini tour in April.

As we’ve said before, we generally stay away from reality TV shows. Unless of course they star a current or former boy band member. In which case, we are ALL IN.
We’d been expecting Cody Simpson to join the cast of Dancing With the Stars, since he kindly asked his fans if they thought it would be a good idea back in December.
But we had no idea that one of our favorite boy band members, James Maslow of Big Time Rush, would be joining the cast this season. He was so good at keeping it secret we literally screamed when it was announced on Good Morning America this morning!!
Watch the announcement clip below.
We haven’t been invested in DWTS since the season of Lance Bass and Cody Linley, but you can bet we will be tuning in and voting for James every week. (And Cody. But mostly James). We can’t wait for his dance moves, the glittery costumes he’ll have to wear, and of course the infamous James Maslow sass. We’re hoping James will be around for a while, so apologies in advance for all of the vote spamming we’ll be doing.
Also joining the cast? Winnie Cooper and DJ Tanner!
The 18th season of Dancing With the Stars premieres Monday, March 17th at 8pm on ABC.

Heffron Drive announced the title of their first official single and gave us a peak at the art for it!

In case you’re new here, here’s what you need to know about AJR:
AJR is a complete DIY project – brothers Adam, Jack & Ryan write and produce all of their own music, and even mix and record songs in their living room. The NYC-based band got their start busking in parks, and has since opened for acts like Hoodie Allen, Demi Lovato, The Wanted, and most recently The Vamps. Their mix of the musical styles of the 50s and 60s, with modern influences, gives them a unique sound. These multi-talented brothers play everything from the ukelele to the melodica on stage, and their energetic live performance is not to be missed.
Make sure you download a copy of the “I’m Ready EP” on iTunes or Amazon before the show! Stay tuned for more dates.

It seems like the term “boy band” is being very loosely thrown around these days. Just because a group of young, good-looking men are in a band together, this does NOT make them a boy band. If you go by this rule, then we’d have to call The Strokes and Vampire Weekend boy bands. I think we can universally agree that they are not.
So, what exactly is a “boy band” then? Let’s consult the dictionary!
Boy band (noun): a group of young men who perform popular songs together and dance as a group.
Now compare this to the definition of a band:
Band (noun): a group of musicians who play music together.
See the difference? The biggest being that boy bands DANCE. We’d also add that they tend to dress in matching/similar outfits, and are known for their harmonies.
Just because a group of young, cute guys are in a band, and in many cases being marketed to younger audiences, it does NOT mean they are a boy band. Now, here are some examples.
NKOTB – Boy band!
Big Time Rush – Boy band!
Backstreet Boys – Boy band!
Jonas Brothers – NOT a boy band!
The Vamps – NOT a boy band!
Midnight Red – Boy band!
5SOS – NOT a boy band!
AJR – NOT a boy band!
NSYNC – Boy band!
Got it? In summary, being boys in a band does NOT make you a boy band. Please choose your words wisely.
And if you’re a group of boys in a band, and you don’t dance OR play instruments? We’re just not sure what to call you.
For example, The Wanted – Props for trying though! Dancing is hard.
Fresh off their first headlining show in New York, The Vamps premiered their music video for “Last Night”. These boys sure know how to throw a party and it looks like they had a blast filming it!! Check it out below.
The Vamps have had a busy couple of weeks in America, with shows & promotional visits across the country, creating a frenzy everywhere they went!
