Jake Miller is proving that independent artists are forces to be reckoned with! With a HUGE sold out “Hit And Run Tour” kicking off in April, the Florida native announced the self release of his brand new album “Silver Lining” dropping on March 9th.
He shared the news on Instagram with the surreal artwork stating, “This album is about letting go of past experiences and bad energy and focusing on the road ahead. Understanding that something positive always comes out of something negative.” Check out the artwork below.
We Were Sharks are heating things up ahead of their hotly anticipated album Lost Touch dropping on February 23rd through Victory Records. We can’t get enough of the Cananadian group’s refreshingly bright and equally melencholy sound on the new album. We got the chance to sit down with singer Randy Frobel during their headlining tour in Brooklyn, NY and he’s just as charming as you’d expect! We Were Sharks brought their high energy set to Gold Sounds Bar, showing NYC how Canada parties.
Watch our interview below and see what Randy’s favorite song on Lost Touch is, his must-haves on tour, and who caught him totally fangirling in Ottowa recently.

Parker Matthews is a rising young artist you’ll want to keep tabs on in 2018! The Pittsburgh native is a pop superstar in the making. Parker got his first taste of how deeply music can affect a person while watching Whitney Houston’s breathtaking GRAMMY Performance when he was growing up, inspiring him to follow a path in music.
Parker has partnered with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention as an advocate for anti-bullying, and is active with several LGBTQ+ organizations to share a message of hope and spread positivity. Parker says, “I want to really help people realize that it does get better. You as a person have the power to change your life, to choose to be happy, and to make the right choice on what path to lead.”
Parker Matthews’ brand new single “Hit And Run” is about a fling that has potential to become something much more serious. Parker’s positive attitude shines through the song and gives the listener hope that it actually could work out!

Rayvon Owen is pop’s newest It Boy for 2018 and rightfully so! His upbeat introspective tracks are a fresh take on life and love with his smooth vocals adding the true shimmer on everything he does.
Rayvon’s latest track, “Gold,” is about that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you first start to fall in love with someone. When asked about the track and his future EP, Rayvon says “What better feeling do you have? Falling in love is such a beautiful thing. I love singing about love in general — the good and the bad — I write sad songs too, which will be on the future project too. You’ll kind of see the whole gamut. But in that moment, we were feeling good and thankful.”
Not only is Rayvon a pop superstar in the making, he’s also extremely active within the LGBTQ+ community, partnering with the Trevor Project, Human Rights Campaign, and the POINT Foundation. “I was so afraid, being from the South and being black and coming from a more conservative area and growing up in an environment that is not very conducive to being gay or even questioning your sexuality,” Rayvon adds. When he came out and shared the news with his fans, he said they were influential in helping in him realize he made the right decision, “I would get a message from someone who would say this helped me come out to my parents, or saved me from taking my life. And it’s just like- ok, this is worth it.”
You’ll be hearing a lot from Rayvon in the coming months as he puts the finishing touches on his forthcoming project which he says will put a lot of himself on display and let the listeners get to know him as a person and artist. “People go through a lot every day and I think you can get really down when you’re only hearing negative things about what people are saying about you, or what people are doing to you. I think that the best thing you can do is to be yourself and I hope that people find that message through my music,” he says.
Jack & Jack just dropped an acoustic duet for their smash hit single “Beg” featuring former tourmate Olivia O’Brien. The original track, written by Lauv, has nearly 1 million Youtube/VEVO plays and over 15 million global streams to date. That’s a huge accomplishment given Jack&Jack only released their major label debut EP, “GONE” a year ago!
“Beg” marks the first single for Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky to hit Top 40 radio and caught the attention of Z100’s Elvis Duran. Elvis recently featured Jack&Jack on the TODAY Show as his “Artist Of The Month” for January 2018.
Watch the brand new video for the acoustic version of “Beg” now.

Our latest Artist To Watch, We Were Sharks are hitting the road early in 2018 to gear up for the release of their brand new album Lost Touch on February 23rd. The album is called Lost Touch but We Were Sharks haven’t lost touch with the genuine feeling and joy that pop punk brings to the entire scene.
“Beyond Repair” kicks off the album like shattering the glass walls surrounding the album. Lost Touch as a whole shows the obvious personal and musical growth of the band from their previous releases and brings them to the forefront of the genre. We Were Sharks are poised to take their rightful spot on the list of our favorite releases for 2018 so far.
“Hotel Beds” is a stand out track with the bouncey scream along chorus and contrasting verses. However, “Stay” is the pinnacle of the album. Lyrically and musically, “Stay” is the closest the band comes to radio perfection on the album which should be more than enough to push them through to Summer song playlist domination.
Broadside’s Ollie Baxter brings his sugary sweet vocals on “Late Bloomer.” The track centers on the topic of keeping a hold on things you loved when you were young. Ollie brings that something we were missing and really catapults the album through to the end.
Lost Touch is a solid listen start to finish filled with odes to the glory days of pop punk and sing along choruses. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for We Were Sharks!
Watch the official video for “Ashley” now!
Lost Touch will be released February 23rd through Victory Records. Pre-order bundles are available HERE and include exclusive items like posters, t-shirts, and hoodies. Pre-order your copy on iTunes and Amazon so you can sing along on tour!
Catch We Were Sharks on the road all February long with Belmont, Boys of Fall, and Sink The Ship! Check out the tour dates HERE and get your tickets while they last.
Alex Aiono slayed his sold out “Feel Like Tour” stop at Highline Ballroom in NYC! With his good friend and collaborator Trinidad Cardona kicking the show off, the duo brought the house down and made sure the crowd had the night of their lives.
Alex sang and danced his way through his high energy set with a huge smile on his face the entire time! The energetic crowd was singing along to every word. The show was one nonstop dance party from start to finish, and Alex did an awesome job keeping the crowd involved. He even brought up a special fan and serenaded her on his acoustic guitar halfway through the set.
Alex got his start by posting his now iconic mashups of songs on YouTube. He included his Drake/Nicky Jam “One Dance/Hasta el Ananecer” mashup as part of the set, and it was 🔥🔥🔥. We love that Alex has the moves, the vocals, and producing skills. He is the total package.
We’ve been hearing “Does It Feels Like Falling” absolutely everywhere lately, and judging by the reaction that Alex got during his sold out show, you’ll be seeing and hearing much more from him soon! We can’t wait to see him on his next tour, and we can see him selling out even bigger venues around the country.

Fly By Midnight have been putting in the hours and 2018 is shaping up to be a HUGE year for these guys! The guys just won Firefly’s “Big Break Artist of 2018” contest and get the once in a lifetime opportunity to perform at Firefly Festival in Delaware this May! Wanting to revive the most classic “guilty pleasure” tracks and the biggest female driven anthems from the early 2000s, Justin Bryte and Slavo just released a brand new mini EP to kick start the new year with some throwback vibes.
“The Boombox Series” mini EP is a small taste of Fly By Midnight’s wide musical influences. The first song they dropped was an infectious cover of Michelle Branch’s “Everywhere” which was literally everywhere when it first came out, and still follows us! The second track was Rihanna’s “Umbrella” which is such an iconic song that we still whisper sing it to ourselves every time it rains.
Today, FBM share the final track from their mini EP, “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne. JBryte and Slavo put their own twist on the power pop punk track with their distinct layered vocals making this a fun synthy remix that even the most secret fangirl wouldn’t be ashamed to admit they love!
Check out the fun video for their cover of “Complicated” below!
