The After Party - California


At midnight, my buddies from The After Party released their single called "California," and they're currently featured on the homepage of Purevolume.  Much like Rocky Loves Emily, the boys have toned it down from their usual upbeat sound with a calm acoustic sound.  It's a sweet ballad about wanting to venture to the lovely state of California (or perhaps for a certain girl they're serenading to).  I remember hearing this song live back in February, and I couldn't wait for them to release it!  Be sure to listen to the song (below) and if you like it, buy it on iTunes!

Starting in Janurary they will be touring with Allstar Weekend and will be coming back to Texas, but this Friday I will finally be seeing these fellas in San Antonio with my best friend.  We are incredibly stoked!!  It's been way too long since we've all seen each other.  There is no doubt in my mind that they will put on a great show - they never disappoint.

All Time Low - Time Bomb teaser


FINALLY.  All Time Low releases something regarding their upcoming music video for "Time Bomb."  I've probably watched this bit of 21 seconds about ten times already because it's just that amazing.  Just a disclaimer: they're one of my favorite bands, so that's why I'm more compelled to watching this teaser multiple times; plus it's my favorite song on their last album!  There hasn't been an official release date announced yet, but it's "Coming Soon!"

Again, All Time Low will be performing in Dallas December 10th for Unsilent Night, and sadly I cannot be there.  Besides that, I've been hearing rumors that they will be playing Warped Tour 2012, but there is no confirmation because bands haven't been officially announced by the Warped Tour website.  That would be awesome though if All Time Low played at 2012 cause then I would definitely go see them!

I See Stars on THE WARRIOR SHOW


Not really a music related post, but I thought this was interesting.  My favorite band, I See Stars, is featured on episode two of "The Warrior Show," - episode one featured the band, Asking Alexandria.  I've never seen it, never heard of it, but it looks intense.  From this trailer it seems as though the boys of ISS will be put through the workout/training of their life, but why?  They're super skinny as it is!  Anyway, the show looks interesting, and I'm sure that the warrior life is interesting for them as well!  Maybe I'll check this out just to see what happens!

Punk Goes Pop Vol. 4 Streaming!


After much anticipation, "Punk Goes Pop Vol. 4" released on Monday, November 21st, and the album sounds great!  All your favorite radio hits covered by your favorite punk/alternative/hardcore scene bands compiled onto one album!  Check out it out!

Rocky Loves Emily - I'm Not a Dang Polar Bear, I'm a Human Being


Recently the boys from Rocky Loves Emily released a Christmas single called "I'm Not a Dang Polar Bear, I'm a Human Being."  (Also available for purchase on iTunes)  Don't let the song title confuse you cause it's a cute song that presents a more chill (pun intended) sound from their usual upbeat pop rock.  The song epitomizes the ultimate Christmas song sound - I can imagine a music video with them singing outside in the snow with Christmas lights in the background.  What a great way to start the holiday season!

Rocky Loves Emily will be embarking on their Secret Santa tour with Move Out West starting December 9th, but unfortunately they will not be stopping in Texas.  For my dedicated readers who are in other parts of the US, check out their tour dates to see if they'll be stopping by your city!  They put on a great live show, so don't miss it!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
I had a wonderful thanksgiving yesterday with my family, and I hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving as well!  Just wanted to make a quick post to say thankful I am to have all the readers I've obtained in the past two months!  It warms my heart to see my stats everyday and see that I have readers not only from the states but from around the world!  I started this blog for a class but now it's grown to be a part of my life, and I'm happy to know that other people like reading it!  So once again thank you, thank you to all my dedicated readers!

xoxo,

Runner Runner - We are the World Tonight


Runner Runner released a new single this week by the name of "We are the World Tonight."  Been awhile since I've heard anything from these guys - which was expected since the lead singer, Ryan, got married recently (my utmost congratulations!).

WE ARE THE WORLD TONIGHT by RUNNER RUNNER

The song is a bit slower than their usual upbeat stuff, but I can digg it.  It's still a fun song about enjoying life, and I can imagine raising our drinks in the air and singing along with them.  If you're having a down day, take a listen to this.
