Tiffany Houghton just released the music video for her brand new single “I’m Gonna Love You!” The video has a fun, mod look that goes perfectly with the upbeat track. We love Tiffany’s knack for writing catchy tunes that you can’t help but sing along to! Tiffany’s last single, “Catch Me If You Can,” went straight to #1 on the Radio Disney chart over the Summer. We think you’re gonna love this song just as much!
What do you get when you mix 90s-alt rock, loud guitars, and ethereal vocals? BIG JESUS. These Atlanta, GA natives are ready to kick down any walls you’ve built around your music loving hearts and they’re hoping you’ll invite Big Jesus into your life. And trust us, you do!
The band just released their debut album called “Oneiric” to much fanfare from AlternativePress to RollingStone – and we’re no exception. This album sets out to punch you in your gut with vocals that you wouldn’t expect to pair so effortlessly and perfectly with the fuzzy, grungy guitars.

It’s been a rough couple of years for boyband lovers like ourselves, but Citizen Four is here to bring back the iconic boyband! We’re so excited to have a new group to fangirl over.

Their latest cover video, of Nick Jonas’ “Bacon,” shows off the talented group: X-Factor USA finalists Josh Levi and Austin Percario along with brothers Carson and Conner Boatman. Watch it now and let the guys know what you think!
Citizen Four just signed to Island Records, so stay tuned for much more from the band! In NYC? You can catch Citizen Four performing on the Hess Festival Stage as part of Arthur Ashe Kids Day at the US Open! Click here for more details on the event. (You can see them perform for FREE!)
UK rock group Young Guns are getting some serious love in the US along with their homeland. This alternative band are in the midst of playing the famed Van’s Warped Tour this Summer after a busy 2015 on some US festivals as well opening for Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Black Stone Cherry.
Young Guns have a rocking sound reminiscent of AFI and 30 Seconds To Mars with a fresh twist for 2016. The band, comprised of Gustav Wood, John Taylor, Fraser Taylor, Simon Mitchell, and Ben Jolliffe are set to release their fourth studio album, “Echoes” on September 16th, 2016. They’re racking up spins and gaining new fans every day on the Van’s Warped Tour and we can’t wait to see what these Brits have in store for the rest of the year!
Watch the lyric video for their brand new single, “Mad World” which is available for streaming and download beginning Friday July 15th.

Summer is just around the corner and we’re stoked to have new music to blast at the beach! Even better, this new music comes from British born model – turned singer Nick Hissom. He just released his brand new video for “Where You Are” that’s action packed and Summer jam worthy! Watch the video below.
In case his Tommy Hilfiger approved looks aren’t enough, Nick co-wrote the track with multi-diamond producer Steve Morales and has been lucky enough to work closely with some of music’s greats like producers Dallas Austin (Pink, Madonna, Michael Jackson) and Mick Schultz (Rihanna). He’s also shared a stage with Nick Jonas, Tori Kelly, and Fall Out Boy. Those are pretty awesome co-signs for Nick!
With the release of his new single, Nick also announced he will be dropping his “Love Energy” EP on May 6th. Pre-order your copy of “Love Energy” on iTunes and Amazon now!
Forever In Your Mind just dropped their new single, “Hurricane” and it’ll blow you away! Seriously, try to make it through the song without dancing along. (we bet you can’t!) We’re stoked to have new music from Emery, Ricky & Liam to add to our Summer playlists! Listen to “Hurricane” below.
We first saw Long Island’s own Shiffley over the Summer when they opened for our friends in Patent Pending. They immediately won us over with their synth-driven pop-rock sound and their energetic onstage presence. We were thrilled we got to see them again recently at Piano’s in NYC. Their set is a blast from start to finish, including a rock version of Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love,” which we didn’t know we needed until now. Their single “Cry” has some of the catchiest gang vocals we’ve ever heard (seriously, listen to it once and you’ll be humming it for days, in a good way).
In a few short years, Shiffley have made a name for themselves in the New York music scene, sharing the stage with not only Patent Pending, but also Twenty One Pilots and Plain White Ts. Band mates Alex Ganes, Alex Jenks, Bryan Contreras, Shaune Killough, and Will Rosati have created the perfect blend of synth driven pop rock. While you can certainly hear their influences from bands like The Killers, Shiffley have a unique sound that’s all their own.
Their EP, “Anthem City,” is out now and the band is working on their debut album due out (fingers crossed!) sometime this year. Stream the EP on SoundCloud below and pickup a copy on iTunes now! Visit Shiffley’s website for upcoming tour dates and more info, and if you can make it out to a show, GO! And remember to #ShareTheShiff.
The Shadowboxers are on the fast track to the top with endorsements from the likes of Justin Timberlake and Hunter Hayes, even getting the chance to jam with Hunter at the Spotify Spotlight showcase. The band, consisting of Adam Hoffman, Matt Lipkins, Scott Schwartz, Carlos Enamorado, and Cole McSween, hail from Atlanta, Georgia and are a self-described “soulful pop band” with tons of potential and a bright future ahead.
Their upbeat, R&B twinged country sound and on point harmonies make their powerful debut album, “Red Room” the perfect collection of songs to keep us warm when the temperatures dip below freezing in NYC.
Watch a live session of “You’re All I Need” from Nashville, TN below.

Based in Wales, Pretty Vicious is a young 4-piece band with a punk rock sound that’s wise beyond their years. Supporting The Vaccines and Nothing But Thieves in between a string of headlining UK tour dates this Fall, the band are on their way to stardom!
Brad, Tom, Jarvis, and Elliot play it fast and loud channeling the forefathers of punk rock with some serious fuzz on the guitars creating a vintage sound in a modern world. Their latest track, “Are You Ready For Me” is a blistering mashup of raw vocals and ripping guitars. Listen to the track below.
Waterparks have made a splash in the pop punk community with their recent signing with Equal Vision Records and bringing on MDDN Managers – Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte – to help the band dive right in.
Bad puns aside, this Texas bred trio are equal parts pop, rock, and polished angst. This isn’t the band’s first foray into big name collaborations – they’ve released songs with Fred Mascherino from Taking Back Sunday, and even opened for Aaron Carter (Weird, we know!)
Awsten Knight, Otto Wood, and Geoff Wigington are well versed in crafting catchy punk songs and we can’t wait to hear what their debut full length has in store because their previous EPs are already racking up some serious spins in the Fangirl office!
Next up, Waterparks are set to open for Good Charlotte’s triumphant and sold out comeback show at The Troubador in LA on November 19th.
