Leave a comment

Our favorite Australian pop punk boys just released a brand new track from the Ghostbusters movie called “Girls Talk Boys” and it’s funky!! These guys know how to rock and definitely how to roll with the new track.  Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Michael are so good, this song is totally different from everything on their new album, “Sounds Good, Feels Good” but it will have you dancing and grooving the whole time.

Listen to “Girls Talk Boys” below.



The guys are in the middle of their huge “Sounds Live, Feels Live” World Tour so be sure to grab tickets while you still can! Check out all of the dates here.

Grab a copy of “Girls Talk Boys” on iTunes or Amazon now.

Marcus Willis’ Dream Run
If you’ve been following Wimbledon coverage at all, no doubt you’ve heard about Marcus Willis.  The British tennis instructor, ranked 772 in the world, played his way through pre-qualifying AND qualifying, and won his 1st round main draw match.  Willis had been on the brink of quitting tennis earlier this year, and was once nicknamed “Cartman” for being so out of shape.  With the win, Willis has earned £50,000 in prize money and the right to face Roger Federer in the 2nd round on Centre Court.  Anything is possible!

Seeds Out on Day 1
While there were some dramatic wins, there weren’t too many upsets on day 1.  Of the seeded players: #20 seed Kevin Anderson, lost a tough 5 set match to Denis Istomin.  Gael Monfils, playing his first match since Rome, lost to countryman Jeremy Chardy.    Pierre-Hugues Herbert took out the #21 seed Phillip Kohlschreiber in 4 sets.  Pablo Cuevas lost in 5 sets to the Russian Andrey Kuznetsov.

State of the Union
American men went 3 for 6 on Monday, with Jack Sock, Sam Querrey and Stevie Johnson advancing to the 2nd round.  Taylor Fritz, the youngest player in the men’s draw, takes on Stan Wawrinka today while the top American John Isner faces Marcos Baghdatis.  Donald Young, Dennis Novikov, and Rajeev Ram are also in action.
