On "BOYS DON'T CRY," vocalist David LaViola shares, "Boys don't have to be 'boys'...girls don't have to be 'girls'...and everyone should be able to rock a little pink.  'BOYS DON'T CRY' is an anthem for anyone who is anything but normal."

Produced by Warren Huart (Aerosmith, James Blunt, Korn), Stefan Litrownik (One Direction, Andy Grammer), and Lennon Leppert (Over Atlantic) Amps & Anthems is a 4-track EP that tears out all of the romantic innocence you've come to expect from Romance & Rebellion; distorts it, and cranks up the volume. On their new music, LaViola says, "These four tracks are filled with emo-studded angst, dripping with candy-coated heartache, wrapped in youthfully rebellious pop rock."

Romance & Rebellion was established in 2015 in Echo Park, CA. By the end of that year, the band had created a buzz around themselves solely using social media and live performances, and soon there after was recognized by pop producer Stefan Litrownik. After the release of their debut EP in June 2016, they had to opportunity to take the stage at influential festivals such as Warped Tour and SXSW, and even headlined Emo Nite LA.

This morning Streetlight Manifesto took to Facebook to voice their concern about ridiculous ticket surcharges, almost doubling the price of the ticket. In the bands statement they told fans that they were not aware of the amount of the surcharge and have promised to make it up to fans.  "We will brainstorm some sort of gift we can give each and every one of you that comes to the show in question." Read the full statement from the band below.

"IT AIN'T RIGHT.
Hi everyone
So, as many of you know, a certain company that handles ticketing for the majority of live events in this country somehow managed to add a $20 surcharge on a $25 ticket to see us play. We’ve always tried our best to keep ticket prices to our shows as low as possible, so this really makes us angry. We had no idea until the tickets went on sale and it’s our position that while ticketing fees are a necessity and a reality in the live music world, paying almost the full ticket price a second time to some company is completely and utterly insane. We’re looking into it now and we’re going to see if we can somehow get some part of that small fortune refunded to you guys. We’re also pretty angry that we didn’t know anything about this until we heard from you guys. Lastly, we’d LOVE to know where all the surcharges are going. At worst, if we can’t find a way to at least fix this retroactively, we will brainstorm some sort of gift we can give each and every one of you that comes to the show in question. It’ll be a lot of whatever-it-is, but we want to make this right. And lastly-lastly, we will add this to our list of things to check on before we announce shows in the future. Often times when there is a monopoly or a duopoly, companies try to get away with as much as they think they can get away with, and that, simply, ain’t right.

The ONLY way this would be alright is if they were printing the tickets on actual twenty dollar bills."

Conveyer released a new music video "New Low" off of their new album "No Future"  just in time to start their 6 week tour in Europe with He'd PE.

“’New Low’ is a unique song for the album, we feel it has a bit of a different energy and wanted the music video to really capture that energy. We wanted the video to have a grittiness to it, and we are pleased with how it turned out,” admits CONVEYER drummer John Gaskill. Frontman Danny Adams adds, “This song is my way about talking out a struggle with social anxiety, and accepting that I can only control what people think about me so much.”

“We’ve been hard at work to share our music with new people in new places, and we are so grateful for (Hed) P.E. giving us a chance to do just that,” acknowledges Gaskill. “Europe has been a goal of ours and to be able to spend our first visit there with such an experienced band is exciting. We are gonna give Europe everything we’ve got. What a way to kick off 2018, No Future worldwide!”

Recharging after a triumphant 2017 that saw the release of their critically-acclaimed seventh album SEEKERS AND FINDERS, self-proclaimed gypsy-punk rockers GOGOL BORDELLO are kicking off the new year with the release of a stripped down version of the title track "Seekers And Finders (Acoustic)." Featuring fellow Eastern European and close personal friend Regina Spektor, the track is a lilting and breezy duet that is the perfect blanket for the frigid winter spell that is currently gripping the United States. “It's the duet of the wandering Jew and the roaming gypsy by the campfire, which we represent most perfectly," adds Gogol vocalist and mastermind Eugene Hütz.  The track is available today via all traditional digital outlets.

In addition, Gogol Bordello is gearing up for their West Coast tour (full list of dates below) which kicks off mid-February in Vancouver and hugs the coast to Los Angeles' Fonda Theatre on March 5th! Accompanying them again on this trek is the high energy five-piece brass band LUCKY CHOPS who were described by NPR Music as a, "Totally on fire, big ass brass band... gnarly, punky and funky." The fierce horn players of Lucky Chops will even be sitting in on some songs with Gogol Bordello making for a unique and unforgettable time!

 Neck Deep are headed to Majestic Theatre in Detroit, MI on February 9th for The Peace and The Panic Tour with support from Seaway, Creeper and Speak Low if You Speak Love.

Most recently, Neck Deep gave fans another music video before the end of this whirlwind year with the release of "Parachute!" On the track, Singer Ben Barlow shares "Parachute is one of the 'different' songs for Neck Deep on The Peace and the Panic. It's a song about wanderlust, the desire to travel, see the world and change your life in a profound way. Something I felt very strongly growing up and still do now. There's a love element to the song too, because if you can experience things with someone special that's even better." Watch the video below!

Celebrating their smash-hit album, The Peace and The Panic, which scored the #2 on the Top Album chart and #4 debut on Billboard Top 200 chart earlier this Summer, this will be the band's first return back to the United States since their Headlining Spot on the 2017 Vans Warped Tour. The 11-track album, produced by Mike Green (Pierce The Veil, Paramore), is a meditation on the constant duality of life and the struggles that come with it. The album garnered incredible praise with outlets like like Nylon, Billboard, New Noise Magazine, Kerrang, Rocksound and more and is available through Apple Music, Spotify, on Vinyl and in stores via Hopeless Records.

Tonight Alive is celebrating the release of the music video for their latest single "Disappear" today. The super-charged track features Lynn Gunn (PVRIS) and is the third single from their upcoming album Underworld. On the track and collaboration, singer Jenna McDougall shares "Disappear is a song about the escapist inside all of us. As you can expect from Tonight Alive, the lyrics discuss freedom, but this time with a flavour of anonymity and detachment. Disappear was written with the intention of sounding neither like Pvris or Tonight Alive, and aimed to capture the sonic imagery of a long straight highway out of your comfort zone." 

Musically, the upcoming album gives fans unique melodies and heavy hitting rock sounds. Lyrically, it is the most personal work they have ever put forth. It is full of moments that pushed the band to explore every aspect of themselves both creatively and emotionally. Due out January 12th, 2018 via Hopeless Records, Underworld is available for pre-order at http://smarturl.it/TAUnderworld.

"Disappear" premiered earlier today as Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 and joins previously released videos for "Crack My Heart" and "Temple," both of which have been seeing incredible streaming success with adds to Spotify's Rock This, The Scene, Pop Punk's Not Dead and Crash Course Playlists in the US, coveted New Music Friday adds in Thailand and Italy as well as spots on iTunes' Best of the Week and A-List: Rock Playlists in the UK.

Tonight Alive will be returning to the United States for a Co-Headlining Tour with Silverstein later this month to perform these tracks live for the first time. With support from Broadside and Picturesque, The Get Free Tour will kick off in Cleveland, OH on January 19th and travel to cities all around the United States before wrapping up on March 1st in Pittsburgh, PA. Tickets are on sale now at http://tonightalive.com/.

Today, Baka Not Nice premieres the video for his new single "Money In The Bank."

 Baka's career began as part of Drake's security team. He went on to contribute background vocals while working on his own solo music.  He can be heard at the end of From Time from Drake's 2013 album Nothing Was The Same. He also provided the outro to Drake's Free Smoke and backing vocals on Gyalchester, both from his 2017 album More Life.  On June 27, 2017, he became the latest signing for Drake's OVO Sound record label and signed the contract in front of a crowd. Three days later, he released his first single Live Up To My Name.

Speaking to overwhelming fan demand and pandemonium coast to coast, Lil Pump launched his North American headline tour with a sold out show at The Novo in Los Angeles, CA. It was the ultimate way to spend Halloween and perfect kick-off to the jaunt, which hits major cities everywhere over the course of the next month. 

See the full itinerary below and get tickets HERE as shows are selling out fast!

Lil Pump has quickly become the most explosive new artist of 2017. The South Florida superstar's impact can be felt far and wide. Following the release of his self-titled debut, Lil Pump, he skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart, while the album bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and stood out as the #1 streaming album first-week. So far, he has generated a staggering 600 million-plus streams and counting and over 260 million YouTube views. 

A cultural force, Forbes recently profiled him in an extensive piece appropriately entitled, "Once A Soundcloud Sensation, Lil Pump Proves To Be A Hot 100 Contender." Among its 15 bright, bold, and buoyant bangers, Lil Pump notably boasts five tracks that cracked 20 million on Spotify-"Gucci Gang" (70 million), "Flex Like Ouu" (52.4 million), "Boss" (39 million), "D Rose" (34.8 million), and "Molly" (23 million).

As Lil Pump continues his ascent at lightspeed, "Gucci Gang" leapt to #14 on the  Billboard Hot 100, making a 13-spot hop from last week and tying Camila Cabello's "Havana" for "Biggest Chart Jump Inside of the Top 50." "Gucci Gang" also holds #2 on the US Spotify Chart and #12 on the Global Chart. Just last week, he premiered the raging music video for the rising smash. In under seven days, it already amassed over 40 million YouTube views and counting. In the larger-than-life climactic clip, Pump lords over "Gucci Gang High" with a tiger at his side. High Snobiety, XXL, Complex,  The Boombox, and more have already featured the video. 

Lil Pump remains the undisputed biggest breakout of 2017!

Esskeetit!
