Major League totaled their van today in Tennessee while out on tour, and they’re selling the single “Some Kids Just Can’t Hang” via BandCamp for the first time in the US in an effort to raise money towards a new van. The single will be up for a limited time for a donated price. Head here to the band’s post.
Four Year Strong has left Universal Republic/Universal Motown Records. According to this article, the band isn’t bummed about it:
["When the merger between Motown and Republic happened, our album was essentially done," says FYS manager Rob Hitt. "Republic put out the album since it was done and didn't seem like they had much intention other than that, so we were able to get off the label. Nobody is unhappy about this on our side."]
Best Coast‘s latest album, “The Only Place“, hits stores today. The band will return to network television, performing on Late Show With David Letterman this Wednesday May 16th, and kick off the first of their 2 North American tour dates with a celebratory hometown show @ The Wiltern in Los Angeles on May 18th.
Frontwoman Bethany’s collection for Urban Outfitters also is released this week and you can check out a video/site encompassing the project here.

Gym Glass Heroes will be performing in Singapore this coming August!
Hailing from America, the band first catapulted to international stardom with their 2006 #1 hit ‘Cupid’s Chokehold’, which helped clinched them the MTV Video Award for Best New Artist, making them a household name worldwide.
Instead of slowing down, Gym Class Heroes continues to churn out more chart-topping tunes including ‘Clothes’ Off!’, ‘The Queen & I’, ‘Cookie Jar’ & ‘Stereo Hearts’ – to which Maroon 5’s Adam Levine lent his vocals to and sold over 3 million copies. ‘Stereo Hearts’ went on to become one of the biggest songs of 2011.
Their latest releases ‘Ass Back Home’ and ‘The Fighter’, off the new multi-platinum album ‘The Papercut Chroncles II’, which features Neon Hitch and One Republic’s Ryan Tedder respectively, are also shaping up to be smash hits in the making.
Known for their unique hybrid of rock, R&B and funk melodies, coupled with frontman Travie McCoy’s deliverence of social messages through storytelling rap style, audience can expect nothing short of an animated performance that is guaranteed to keep the fans rockin’ to the radio-friendly tunes.
This will be the band’s first full-fledged concert since their debut on our shores five years ago as part of a festival lineup. The boys of Gym Class Heroes are back, bigger than ever and ready to set the stage ablaze!

I was home for the most of last week recovering from a really nasty bout of food poisoning as Garbage put up their new album, “Not Your Kind of People” on for streaming on multiple avenues – NME and Spinner. Garbage is a band that I grew up with and frontwoman Shirley Manson is someone my 15 year old self looked up to. News of their reunion, and release of the new album triggered the same form of excitement when Blink-182 made a similar announcement.
It is extremely fitting that this week’s playlist is devoted to the return of the original rock queen of the 90s, Shirley Manson. Another section of the playlist contains tracks from another band which reunited and released their new album, “Speak in Code” last month – Eve 6. Remember them? They were extremely under-rated, though they created some great tracks.
You can stream the playlist below, and I recommend that you subscribe to the playlist as we will update it whenever we are inspired to. Come listen, and let’s talk about music.
Memphis May Fire have revealed the track listing for their new album “Challenger“, out June 26 on Rise Records. The 11 track LP features guest appearances by Sleeping with Sirens’ Kellin Quinn and Asking Alexandria’s Danny Worsnop. See track listing below.

2.) Alive In The Lights
3.) Prove Me Right
