The Vamps Are “Hoping For Snow” In New Video

Leave a comment

The Vamps are getting their holiday festivities started early with #Bradvent (we love their creative Holiday names) and Brad, Tris, Connor, and James are all hoping for snow in their new music video!

The heartfelt song is stripped down and is perfect for your Holiday present wrapping soundtrack.  We love Brad and James’s voices against Tristan’s lighter drums in the new video.  It’s been a year since we’ve seen The Vamps and we sorely miss them but this twinkle lit acoustic video eases our hearts.

Watch the video for “Hoping For Snow” below.

Tiffany Houghton Releases Christmas Single “Hello Sailor!”

Leave a comment

After releasing her first single “I’m Gonna Love You” from her debut LP due out early next year, Tiffany Houghton is making sure you’re in the Christmas spirit with her brand new song “Hello Sailor!” just in time for Christmas!  She name drops classic Christmas songs, rewrites “Jingle Bells”  with her own cute lyrics, and mentions skipping the family Holiday party with her sailor.  This song definitely made our Holiday playlist and it’ll stay there forever!

We love Tiffany’s clever lyrics and her poppy tunes make us want to dance around our living room and sing along.  Listen to “Hello Sailor!” on SoundCloud below!

Leave a comment

It’s officially Winter in NYC and we’re already looking forward to next Summer at the Warped Tour with all our favorite bands.  Warped Tour Founder, Kevin Lyman and the Warped Tour Team are giving us an early Christmas present and a second Warped Weekend in 2017 called “Warped Rewind At Sea“!

“Warped Rewind At Sea” is a 5 day cruise from New Orleans to Cozumel, Mexico on the Norwegian Pearl Cruise ship.  Joining the inaugural cruise are 3OH!3, Cartel, Bowling For Soup, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Less Than Jake, and Reel Big Fish with more artists and fun activities to be announced!  It’s like we were planning our dream tour line up and decided to ship it off to Mexico.  Emo Nite will also be on hand to deliver some serious throwbacks – as if the whole cruise isn’t the best thing since sliced bread.

Grab your passports, swimsuits, sun screen, and your best costumes because “Warped Rewind At Sea” sets sail from New Orleans October 28th -Nov 1st.  Yeah, you get to spend Halloween on a cruise ship with Good Charlotte, 3OH!3, Less Than Jake, and Simple Plan!! We’re not crying, you’re crying!!!   Book now for first choice of staterooms and let’s get warped at sea together!

“Warped Rewind At Sea” is literally our 13 year old fangirl dreams coming to life and we’ve already sent mass texts to book our own stateroom on this boat.  On top of sailing with some of our favorite bands, Kevin Lyman will host a special Q&A session, theme nights and concerts every night by the bands, and there will even be special excursions in Cozumel for cruisers.  You could be playing blackjack, shooting hoops, and even getting wild in the pool with your favorite band on this boat (we’ll try to keep it together for all of us.)

Click HERE for more info on the cruise, what you’ll need to book the best stateroom for you and your squad, as well as updates on the cruise.  Everything from meals to pool and hot tub amenities as well as spa treatments, casinos, sports facilities, and even the concerts on the ship are included in the price so really, this cruise is a steal!!
