Calling all 90s fangirls! You’re going to want to tune into “FOX & Friends” this Friday morning, June 20th, because Boyz II Men are performing as part of their All American Summer Concert Series! Or if you’re in NYC, head over to the Fox News Channel Plaza, 1211 Avenue of the Americas, by 7AM to watch the show in person!
Boyz II Men will perform some of their classic hits, as well as songs off of their upcoming album, “Collide.” We’re hoping they do a little East Coast swag and play “Motown Philly” and of course, “End of the Road!” We saw Boyz II Men on The Package Tour with New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees last summer, and after all this time they’ve still got the right stuff. (Yes we’re mixing boy band analogies. It’s our blog).
Jesse McCartney is taking his new album “In Technicolor” on tour! The album will be released on July 22nd, and Jesse will be on the road for the rest of the summer! JMAC is always fun to see live because of his boy band trained dance moves (Dreamstreet anyone?), his slick vocal stylings, and his wardrobe, which is always on point. Watch the video for his new single “Superbad” below!
Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 20th at 10AM local venue time. If you pre-order “In Technicolor,” you’ll have access to a special ticket pre-sale starting on Wednesday! Head over to JesseMac.com for all the details including info on VIP Meet & Greets. Check out the tour dates below!

British band The Vamps (yes band, NOT a boy band) played to a sold out crowd at NYC’s Highline Ballroom on Sunday. The show was part of the MTV Artist to Watch Series, which has recently featured artists such as Austin Mahone and Hunter Hayes. We were thrilled to have the chance to see them again! This wasn’t their first time playing in NYC: Back in February, they played the Gramercy Theatre with AJR. Since then, The Vamps released their debut album “Meet The Vamps,” which has been as high as #2 on the charts in the UK, and have been all over the world in support of their album.
The quartet, Bradley Simpson (lead vocals, guitar), James McVey (lead guitar), Connor Ball (bass) and Tristan Evans (drums) really mesh well together considering they found each other via social media about 3 years ago! Each member has their own unique style and musical taste (James for example is a fan of country stars like Dan + Shay), yet the music The Vamps create is pure, catchy pop rock at its best. The band’s musicianship, harmonies, and talent show that this group is more than just another band creating a frenzy among teenage girls.
Their high energy performance had the crowd dancing from start to finish! The Vamps’ set featured all of their singles, including the latest “Somebody To You,” and the first song the band ever wrote together, “She Was The One.” The crowd was singing along to every word, which is impressive for a band whose album hasn’t even been released in the US yet! They have a great stage presence, interacting with each other and also with the lucky fans in the front row!
The Vamps also performed solid covers of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” Simon and Garfunkel’s “Cecilia,” and a fun, rock version of Jason Derulo’s “Trumpet.” When the crowd started chanting “take it off,” Tristan turned it into a jam session showcasing all of their musical talents, as Brad told the audience “let’s make some music together!” If you haven’t met The Vamps yet, get ready: they are most definitely the Artist to Watch in 2014!
Setlist:
Wild Heart Last Night Somebody To You
She Was The One
Mr. Brightside (cover) Girls on TV
Trumpets (cover) Can We Dance
Cecilia (cover) Watch our video of The Vamps performing “Somebody To You” and check out our Youtube & Tumblr for more photos & video from the show!

In the past, we’ve brought you new bands from across the pond, our favorite boy bands, and even our top favorite country artists. This week, we want to formally introduce you to five bands that rock! All of these artists have a knack for writing a catchy rock song, with their own unique sound.
1 – Born Cages
We’ve featured this Brooklyn based band before and we’ve been lucky enough to see them play more than a few times. As we near the release of their next single, please enjoy one of our favorite songs from “The Sidelines EP“.
2 – New Hollow
This Ohio trio has worked their way into our playlists ever since the 106.1 BLI Summer Jam a few weekends ago. Catchy, grungy, perfect summer throwback sound – New Hollow has it all! Don’t miss these guys on tour this summer. Watch the official video for their single, “She Ain’t You” below.
3 – Action Item Hailing from New Jersey, Action Item aren’t technically new, but that doesn’t stop them from rocking their way onto our Friday Five list! These guys are dropping a new single called “We’ll Be Fine” on June 24th and we can’t wait to hear what they’ve been up to. They’ll be on tour with MKTO all summer so be there or be square!
4 –The Strypes The only band on this list from the UK, The Strypes are definitely ones to watch. After a chance encounter with their name in an ad in Rolling Stone , we checked out their music and instantly knew these guys were on to something. We love The Strypes cheeky lyrics on their debut album “Snapshot” and it’s about time the US has another proper British rock invasion! Watch the official video for “What A Shame” below.
5 – Wild Party One of the five finalists in this years iHeartRadio and Macy’s Rising Star Competition, Wild Party is definitely on the up and up. Their single “When I Get Older” sounds like Rooney and Phantom Planet – just what we need to blast in our car with the windows down and the sunroof open! Catch Wild Party at a free in-store performance at Macy’s in Northridge, CA on June 21st.
