The Friday Five: Internet Dogs

Let’s be real.  The best thing about the internet is when people share photos and videos of their pets.  We love that having an insta-famous dog is now an actual profession.  Here are some of our favorite dogs to follow on social media!

1. Daily Dougie – @dailydougie
Dougie is SO CUTE!  And good at internet.  We had a really hard time deciding what to post for him, just do yourself a favor and go through his entire Instagram feed.

2. Marnie The Dog – @marniethedog
Marnie goes to more concerts than we do (and that’s saying a lot!)  She has lots of famous friends and even had a book come out last year!

3. Hamilton Pug – @hamiltonpug
Hamilton hangs out with all of the cool internet dogs.  Talk about #squadgoals

4. Itty Bitty the Griff – @ittystagram
Itty is ready for any Holiday.

5. Gary Fisher – @garyfisher
His mom, Carrie Fisher, brings Gary everywhere.

SecretFangirls.com Interview The Vamps

We sat down with UK pop band The Vamps before their album release show at Webster Hall in New York City and talked pre-concert rituals, their new album “Wake Up”, and what fans can look forward to in 2016!  Watch our interview with Connor, James, Brad, and Tristan below.

The Vamps Throw “Wake Up” Release Party In NYC

The Vamps played one final show for the year at Webster Hall in NYC, in celebration of the release of their sophomore album, “Wake Up.”   The show was one big party from start to finish, as Brad, James, Connor and Tristan played tracks from the new album along with their hit singles.  The energetic crowd knew every word and shouted and danced along with the band all night.

Near the middle of the set, the band announced they were going to do something “they’d never done before” as Brad moved from the stage to a box in the middle of the crowd.  He then played a solo, acoustic, unplugged rendition of “Shout It Out.”   It turned into a nice, intimate singalong for everyone.

It’s hard to believe The Vamps first headlining show (ever!) was in NYC nearly 2 years ago.  They’ve come a long way since then as a band – they’ve sold out the O2 Arena in London, gone on full arena tours around the world all while still remaining their silly selves and good friends.

The Vamps are fun to watch live because of the incredible energy they bring to every show.  They added in new instrumental parts to songs that displayed their musicianship and ability to keep their show fresh every night.  The guys even rearranged their hit song “Last Night” into a rousing and fun filled ska song that had the entire audience on their feet.

Near the end of their set, the band took time to do a Q&A with the audience answering all their fans’ burning questions from what’s their favorite pizza topping (Con likes chicken) to what song means the most to them (Brad said “Coming Home”).

The Friday Five: 2015 Albums of the Year (Pop)

It feels like we just wrote our 2014 Albums of the Year post about 5 minutes ago, but it’s time to look back on our favorite albums of 2015!   Here are our picks for our top pop albums of the year.  We included 2 EPs because they were too good NOT to and we’re crossing our fingers for full albums from them next year!

1.  Selena Gomez – “Revival”
After a public split from The Biebs, Selena Gomez is back! “Revival” was well worth the wait.

2. Carly Rae Jepsen – “E·MO·TION”
Carly Rae is easily one of the most underestimated pop artists, and one that certainly knows how to make a throwback album that sounds like it came straight out of the 80s.  (in a good way) 

3. The Vamps – “Wake Up”
The Vamps are poised to take over America with their new album and it’s about time – they’re so good!

4. Hilary Duff – “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
Hilary Duff’s 5th studio album was well worth the (long!) wait.

5. DNCE – “SWAAY”
This EP makes us want to sway and dance to every song!  We can’t wait for a full album from Joe, Cole, JinJoo, and Jack.

5. Jake Miller – “Rumors”
This EP was one of our favorites that came out in 2015 – every track is a JAM!  We’re anxious for new music from Jake Miller.
