FEARLESS RECORDS recording artist AMERICAN TEETH has just dropped the video for the latest single "SICK" and it's a bop with a deeper meaning!

Watch the video, which is a wild ride including skateboarding, silly string, action figures, and more, here. 

The video originally premiered last week at an art show in Los Angeles.

Creative collaborations are a driving force in American Teeth's music and "SICK" is no different! The track features not one but two special guest vocalists — phem and DE'WAYNE. The triple vocal attack and the male-female vocal interplay give this dancefloor-worthy ditty an extra dose of depth and dimension. Both singers appear in the video, too!

"This video was a big collaborative effort," shares American Teeth. "[Directors] Nas and Erik both have really compelling visual styles, and I was excited to bring them together for this sick take on  '90s-era, kids' TV commercial look. We wanted to show the theme of addiction through the lens of rabid consumerism."

"The song is a celebration of accepting my bad habits and owning myself fully," American Teeth previously said about the song. "We're all a little 'SICK' and that's okay. This was my first collaboration with phem and DE'WAYNE — I'm a fan of both artists, so it was a lot of fun to work on this one together, along with [producer] Colin [Brittain]."

In other exciting news, American Teeth will make his first festival appearance at Aftershock in Sacramento, California in October. 

American Teeth recently dropped a double single, which features "Fix You" and "E-Girl." It's available here. The cinematic video for "Fix You" depicted a modern love story and unfolded like a mini movie. Watch it here.

Want more American Teeth? Check out the video for "One of Those Days."

Want even more? Hell yes you do.

Indulge in the super catchy "Barred Out [Feat. TWIN XL]" or the collaborative track "Still Not Dead," featuring performances from American Teeth, DREAMERS, and Wes Period.

American Teeth is the sonic alter ego of Elijah Noll, who collaborates alongside producer Colin Brittain (All Time Low, A Day To Remember, ONE OK ROCK, Papa Roach) on the songs. Hailing from Portland, Maine but currently based in Los Angeles, he has released a handful of singles across DSPs, which have tallied over a million streams thus far in an impressive feat for such a nascent artist. He was recently named one of Alternative Press' 100 Artists You Need to Know.

American Teeth is literally a cyborg — he has a mechanical heart valve, which was installed when he was a teenager to replace a faulty valve with which he was born. His music is much the same — fusing organic sounds and shimmering synths.

City and Colour, acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, is returning to the stage for the first time since February 2020. Green will be performing an intimate solo set across all dates, something fans have been requesting for years. The tour kicks off September 7 in Dallas, TX and concludes in Ithaca, NY on October 26. Along the way he will make stops in, among other markets, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. He also has confirmed two one-off dates in December in Minneapolis and Milwaukee. The full tour is listed below. For tickets, please visit: cityandcolour.com.

City and Colour has partnered with PLUS1 to collect $1 from every ticket sold, so that a portion of proceeds goes to supporting organizations bringing dignity, equality, and access to communities who need it.

At the request of City and Colour, there are updated health and safety requirements to keep all fans attending safe at all of the 2021 concert dates.

Dallas notes:

As I write this, it has been 545 days since I last stood on stage and sang for a crowd.

545 days since my touring family has had work.

545 days since our livelihood disappeared.

We can’t wait to get back out on the road - the place where most of us have spent the majority of our adult lives, a place we all miss dearly.

Everyone is working incredibly hard to bring live music back. That being said, the world we are returning to isn’t exactly what it used to be (at least for now). Therefore; to ensure the safety of EVERYONE involved, our shows will require proof of FULL COVID-19 vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 test result to gain entry to all 2021 City and Colour concerts. This requirement applies to all venue staff, tour personnel and ticket holders.

It means the world to me to finally get back out on the road. I’m returning with an even deeper sense of gratitude for everyone that has supported me over the years. This decision was made with the health and safety of our fans, the bands, our crews and the venue staff in mind.

See ya in the Pit.

Love Dal.

Turning up with the most anticipated hip-hop sequel of the summer, multi-platinum rapper Lil Tecca unleashes his anxiously awaited second full-length album, We Love You Tecca 2, via Galactic Records/Republic Records.

Listen to We Love You Tecca 2: HERE

The album comes out a day after the rapper’s 19th birthday. Paving the way for the record, Lil Tecca popped off on the single “Repeat It” [with Gunna]. It has already eclipsed 24 million cumulative streams and has garnered widespread critical praise. Complex remarked, “Tecca's vibrant flow skates along the track's silky production,” and Vibe featured it on “New Music Friday.” Meanwhile, UPROXX dubbed it “a boastful effort that sees both rappers promising to keep up a consistent flex.”

For the project, he teamed up with Internet Money founder and super producer Taz Taylor[XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD] as Executive Producer, who also produced Tecca’s hit single “Ransom.” Together, they assembled a blockbuster sonic vision uplifted by Tecca’s rhyme acrobatics and hypnotic hooks.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

The sequel carries on the legacy of its predecessor, We Love You Tecca. In 2019, the original mixtape bowed at #4 on the Billboard Top 200, went platinum, and amassed 6.6 billion-plus streams.

After lighting up the stages of Rolling Loud – Miami and Lyrical Lemonade – Summer Smash, he ignites Rolling Loud – Los Angeles December 14-15.

Get ready for Lil Tecca to spread the love now.

Posting up over 8 billion streams and claiming multiple platinum certifications, Lil Tecca has quietly cemented himself as one of rap’s most vital rising superstars. In 2020, his full-length debut album, Virgo World, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and yielded two Hot 100 entries—namely “Dolly” with Lil Uzi Vert and “When You Down” feat. Lil Durk with Polo G. HotNewHipHop praised it as “a great starting point for the 18-year-old.” Tecca first exploded with his platinum-certified mixtape, We Love You Tecca, and his breakout quadruple-platinum single “Ransom” in 2019. He reeled in acclaim from New York Times, Billboard, HYPEBEAST, Complex, and many others in addition to selling out shows on his first headline run, the We Love You Tecca World Tour. He launches into his next chapter with his second album We Love You Tecca 2.

Making one major move after another this year, award-winning, certified artist, entrepreneur and actress Kash Doll serves up her new single “Single & Happy” feat. Wale & Eric Bellinger today via Republic Records.

Listen to “Single & Happy”: HERE

Over a silky throwback beat produced by Dre Butterz and Sino 313, Kash Doll sets the tone with bold, braggadocious and blunt bars, while Eric Bellinger delivers a soulful refrain and Wale counters with a slick verse. The track instantly sizzles and simmers—like everything Kash Doll does.

It follows her latest single “Like A Pro” [feat. Juicy J]. Right out of the gate, HotNewHipHopraved how she “comes with nothing but energy,” and Brooklyn Vegan hailed it as “a bouncy, catchy, raunchy new jam.” Revolt predicted “the record is expected to be blaring through the speakers of the club ASAP.” Elite Press put it best, calling it “one of the best songs of the year.”

Its predecessor “Thumbin” has already racked up millions of streams to date. Additionally, HotNewHipHop praised the track’s “addictive chorus and copious amounts of quotable lyrics,”while hailing it as “the next big hit on short-form video sharing platforms like TikTok and Triller.” Her knockout collaboration with DJ Famous—“Bad Azz” feat. Mulatto & Benny The Butcher, has amassed 10 million streams and counting. Beyond features from REVOLT, Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan and more, UPROXX claimed, “Kash Doll, DJ Infamous, Mulatto, and Benny The Butcher show why the competition is mad with ‘Bad Azz’.”

Kash Doll, who has gathered over 1 billion streams worldwide since signing with Republic Records, continues to pull up everywhere this year. She features on Saweetie’s “Hoops”alongside the legendary Salt-N-Pepa from the mega-anticipated Space Jam: A New LegacySoundtrack. She took the stage at Detroit Summer Fest this month. Next up, she joins the bill of the Migos “Culture III” Las Vegas Weekender on October 15 and Rolling Loud LA on December 10. She will appear in a starring recurring role on STARZ’ Black Mafia Family, which will premiere on September 26.

Kash Doll continues to make waves. Receiving critical acclaim from Vulture and Marie Claire, Essence praised, “If there’s one rapper who can teach us a thing or two about remaining confident, it’s Kash Doll.” Meanwhile, she guested on “Friday Night Cypher” from Big Sean’s chart-dominating Detroit 2 and joined forces with HoodCelebrityy for “So Pretty.”

Detroit native Kash Doll has impacted the music industry with a commanding force, dropping street-earned truths with her throwback wordplay and powerful bars. The one-two combination of spirit and sass announced her as fiery female force in 2019 after quietly amassing 30 million-plus on-demand streams, garnering the BMI Social Star Award and “Issa Wave Award” at the BET Social Awards, securing a new management deal with Title 9 Productions and inking a recording contract with Republic Records. An unbelievable story brought her to this point. Losing her dad on just her first birthday, she always held down multiple jobs to support her mom and siblings. And at 18, she started investing in herself eventually opening two beauty bars and funding her own music career. She made waves on the 2014 independent debut mixtape, Keisha Vs. Kash Doll. Following 2016’s Trapped In The Dollhouse, she developed a presence as a touring force and earned coveted co-signs from Drake, Big Sean, Rick Ross, Remy Ma, and many more. The 2018 The Vault mixtape captured #1 on multiple mixtape sites as her debut single for Republic Records “Ice Me Out” and its 2 Chainz-assisted official remix clocked 85 million-plus total streams. Last year, Kash Doll also released a project solely for her fans titled Brat Mail to thank them for all their continued support. The project garnered over 30 million global streams and features the break out single “Check.” Shortly before Brat Mail, Kash released one of her biggest singles to date, “For Everybody,” which racked up over 101 million YouTube/VEVO views independently. Outside of music, this boss runs Kash Doll Enterprises and does charity work around her hometown. Her city bestowed the “Spirit of Detroit” Award upon her. Additionally, in 2019, Kash Doll released her debut album Stacked, received a 2019 BET Award nomination for “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist,” garnered critical acclaim for her album from Billboard, MTV, UPROXX, BET, Forbes, Nylon and more and toured with Meek Mill. This year will be full of brand new music, acting and more from the Detroit star.

Buzzing artist and producer LLusion continues to make waves online as he returns with a new collaborative single featuring Canadian rapper and producer Freddie Dredd and rapper Lil Toe called “SHUT UP,” out today—listen HERE!

Of the song, LLusion says, “This one means a lot to me. I love when everything comes full circle. The instrumental to ‘Shut Up’ was intended for a remix for TikTok. It became very popular, and all I could think about was ‘imagine Freddie Dredd on this.’ As my thought started to come into fruition, I found out the homie Lil Toe and Freddie never released any songs together, which didn’t make sense to me due to their sonic chemistry. I felt it was of my services to bring everyone together and make a cold and raw smash! So here we are.”

Freddie Dredd adds, “I’m glad to have a track out with the homie LLusion, such a talented producer that I am blessed just to even know, and to have Lil Toe on the track is a treat, I’ve been listening to him for years and now we finally will have a song out. Very excited.”

“SHUT UP” follows LLusion’s 2021 quarantine-inspired singles, “Yoga” feat. salem ilese and “STAY IN” feat. LoveLeo, which have been praised by Billboard, Ones To Watch, This Song Is Sick, and more, with Indie Shuffle saying, “with a soundtrack like this, maybe quarantine isn’t so bad.”

Last year, LLusion turned heads with a string of irresistible bops, including “walk but in a garden” feat. mxmtoon and “Sad4good” feat. Cautious Clay, which received widespread acclaim. The Wild Honey Pie called it “a much-needed two minutes of relief from what feels like a dark age” and LADYGUNN gushed, “we wait in anticipation for him to rise to global success.”

Stay tuned for LLusion’s debut EP to be released soon!

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want! The biggest selling girl band of all time, the Spice Girls are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut hit single "Wannabe" in style, by releasing an all-new limited edition EP - "Wannabe25" which is available now via UMC / EMI.

"Wannabe," originally released on July 8, 1996, catapulted the Spice Girls to global stardom. A song that embodies empowerment, it is the most emblematic song of the band’s People Power philosophy and a song that continues to be treasured through the generations. "Wannabe" has broken numerous records. It is the seventh best-selling debut single of all time, with over 1.3 million CD singles and download sales, as well as the longest-reigning Number 1 by a girl group.

The new EP includes the original single, an in-demand remix by Junior Vasquez (originally a bonus track on the 1996 "2 Become 1" CD Single), the original demo recording, and "Feed Your Love", a demo of a previously unreleased ballad written by Spice Girls and "Wannabe" co-writers Richard 'Biff' Stannard and Matt Rowe.

HERE'S THE STORY FROM A-Z…After their iconic 1996 debut single "Wannabe" topped the charts in 37 countries, Spice Girls' debut album Spice went on to sell more than 31 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of all time by a female group. The girls have gone on to sell more than 90 million records around the globe, releasing three studio albums and 11 singles and winning a host of awards including a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Run The Jewels, the lauded duo of Killer Mike and El-P, have announced plans to once again expand their infiltration of the beverage industry via a new series of collaborative beers slated for Fall of 2021. In an effort to support and expand inclusivity within the craft beer community the duo have partnered with Black-owned craft breweries and events for a distinctive trio of offerings, with some slated to be debuted at festivals celebrating Black brewers and artists. The new line of beers includes the just-released “Never Look Back,” a premium rice lager brewed in collaboration with nonprofit Beer Kulture at Green Bench Brewing Co in Florida, “All Due Respect,” a molasses and corn grits strong ale brewed in collaboration with Proximity Brewing and Spaceway Brewing that will be released at Black Brew Culture’s Blacktoberfest on October 8th in Durham, NC, and “Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1,” a danky IPA with terpenes brewed in collaboration with Brew Gentleman Brewery of Braddock, PA that is set to debut at Barrel and Flow Fest on September 10th and will also be available for sale online, as part of a Barrel and Flow set, at Tavour.com as part of DigiFlow, the virtual coverage of the fest. Putting money back into the communities where these beers were made is an important component for the duo: a portion of all proceeds from “Never Look Back” will benefit Beer Kulture, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting equitable hiring practices in the brewing industry, while a portion of proceeds from the sale of “All Due Respect” will support Blacktoberfest, and 50% of proceeds from “Blockbuster Night, Part 1” will benefit local Pittsburgh charities serving the children and the arts, including Steel City Arts Initiative.

The new slate of beers underscores the continued growth of Run The Jewels’ beverage ambitions, as they chart a course toward producing their first self-released beers in addition to other planned beer, spirit, and coffee collaborations. Among their other impending releases are a new IPA brewed in collaboration with Brooklyn’s Interboro Spirits & Ales (one of the duo’s early brewing collaborators, with whom they made the award-winning “Stay Gold” IPA), and a new collaboration with Cerveza Minerva in Mexico City slated for this November, the Oh Mama Juicy IPA. And for a very new kind of RTJ libation, they’ll soon be dropping The Ground Below, a cold brew coffee made in collaboration with Chicago’s Dark Matter Coffee that will be available at the Dark Matter booth at Riot Fest on September 17th and to be made available for nationwide shipping at www.darkmattercoffee.com. These all follow in the footsteps of their recent hard seltzer collaboration with Chicago’s City Water “Ooh La La” and last year’s ultra ambitious global collaboration “No Save Point” IPA, for which the duo teamed with 13 esteemed breweries from across the world. More info on all the aforementioned can be found at Run The Jewels dedicated beer site.

Blacktoberfest the event is a festival created by Mike Potter, Sheena Lester and Royce Shockley of Black Brew Culture, and in this second-year display of craft beer and culinary excellence, it spans two continents with over 100 Black-owned establishments coming together to spotlight their passions and talents. It's an annual collection of curated activations mixed with traditional festival-style booths that hopes to serve as a new standard for combining entertainment, education and community economics. BBC's 2021 celebration is about honoring the diaspora and welcoming the brilliance of Black people, across the globe, through the vehicle of craft beer.

Black Brew Culture, which was founded by Potter in 2015, aims to make the craft beer industry as diverse as its appreciative consumer audience by showcasing the genius and flavor Black brewers bring to it, in America and across the world. The group's B.L.A.C.K. Beer Initiative is a unique initialized approach to the whats, wheres, hows and whys of helping the Blacks-in-craft-beer landscape expand.

Barrel and Flow Fest Why Barrel and Flow? “To honor what we see as interconnected and important sectors of Black arts. To celebrate Black arts and artists. And to express and share how collective art is greater together than the sum of their individual parts. Through the barrel flows this collective creativity of music, visual art, and culinary art. Our collaborations and aims of economic empowerment for the Black community continue, just as significant and necessary as ever, with global aspirations and national amplifications.”

ALL THAT REMAINS SET TO CELEBRATE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FALL OF IDEALS 
 
The band's breakthrough third album includes "This Calling" + "The Air That I Breathe"

All That Remains are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their breakthrough album, The Fall of Ideals, with a new vinyl reissue, a tour, and a documentary. Set to release on November 12 and available for pre-order today, the best-selling title features such fan favorites as "This Calling," "Six," and "The Air That I Breathe." In addition to the wide release, the band has exclusive colored vinyl variants with deluxe packaging available only at the band's webstore. The band will also be announcing information on their anniversary tour and documentary later this year.

Pre-order The Fall of Ideals here.

Originally released in 2006, The Fall of Ideals launched a new era for All That Remains — finding the band moving away from the death metal of their first two albums (2002's Behind Silence and Solitude and 2004's This Darkened Heart) and settling into the melodic metalcore that defined their career. The Fall of Ideals also introduced fans to the band's longtime bassist, Jeanne Sagan, and marked their only album to feature drummer Shannon Lucas. The newcomers joined founding members Phil Labonte (vocals) and Oli Herbert (lead guitars), as well as rhythm guitarist Mike Martin.

In the studio, the Massachusetts quintet partnered with two prominent metal artists: Killswitch Engage's Adam Dutkiewicz, who served as producer, and Soilwork's Peter Wichers, who engineered the sessions. The dynamic, 11-song set found the musicians pushing their sonic boundaries, while Labonte showcased his broad vocal range —from epic, extended screams and in-your-face growls to emotive choruses. The album spawned a variety of enduring favorites, including the hard-driving "This Calling," which featured in the soundtracks to Saw III and Masters of Horror II, as well as singles "The Air That I Breathe" and "Not Alone." Other highlights included the guitar-forward "Whispers (I Hear You)" and the dramatic "Six," which appeared in Guitar Hero II.

Upon its release in the summer of 2006, The Fall of Ideals was embraced by fans, becoming the band's first album to break the Billboard 200 (peaking at No. 75) and eventually selling more than 450,000 units. The album also caught the attention of critics. Pop Matters hailed, "All That Remains has made the kind of stylistic leap that most bands can only wish they could pull off…The Fall of Ideals [is] invigorating from start to finish, and could very well be the metalcore album of the year." Blabbermouth praised, "All That Remains effortlessly blends thrashy twin guitar fireworks and Phil Labonte's raging vocals with soaring clean vocals and overall tunefulness…There is no denying that those guys play their asses off here and the result is immensely gratifying." Lambgoat simply declared, "The entire band executes the songs perfectly," adding that "the production…is full and crisp."

"We're so thankful to everyone who has kept this disc in their hearts for the past 15 years," says Labonte. "We are proud to celebrate the reissue and can't wait to tell you about all the other cool things we have in store."

In the 15 years since The Fall of Ideals, All That Remains have built an undeniable legacy as one of this century's most consistent purveyors of heavy music with a bulletproof canon of arena-worthy anthems. Currently consisting of Labonte and Martin, as well as drummer Jason Costa, bassist Aaron Patrick and lead guitarist Jason Richardson, the band continues to defy the odds of its genre. To date, they have sold more than a million albums worldwide, earning five consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart, and boasting more than 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify — an unprecedented feat for any metal band. In 2018, All That Remains released their widely acclaimed ninth studio album, Victim of the New Disease.

This morning, Bastille returned to Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series to perform their electric hit single, “Distorted Light Beam”—watch their performance HERE and watch their interview for Good Morning America Digital HERE.

“Distorted Light Beam,” a retro-futuristic pop anthem that was the first taste of the band’s forthcoming new album, was co-written and co-produced with Ryan Tedder alongside the band’s long-time collaborator Mark Crew and shows the next evolution of Bastille’s sound. The song was released earlier this summer alongside a cinematic official video starring British actress Remmie Milner from the BAFTA-winning series, Save Me, and frontman Dan Smith—watch HERE. “Distorted Light Beam” continues to climb up the Alternative Radio Chart and currently sits in Top 15. In support of the track, the band recently released a live performance video, “How We Made It” breakdown, and “Behind The Lyrics” video.

Last week, Bastille dropped their latest euphoric single, “Thelma + Louise”—listen HERE. On the song, they pull together the punchy drum machines and dreamy synths of the 80’s with a newfound sparseness, creating a fresh backdrop for a classic, anthemic chorus. Co-written with legendary songwriter Rami Yacoub (Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time”, Lady Gaga’s Chromatica Album) and Mark Crew, it’s an infectious meditation on “days like these” where you want to just get away, whether that’s simply shutting your eyes and imagining yourself somewhere else or driving down to Mexico and leaping off the edge of the world. The song cleverly taps into the dichotomy at the heart of the 1991 classic film, where freedom and living in the moment are tempered by the threat of cold, hard reality intervening at any moment.

Escapism is a theme that’s explored in depth on Bastille’s upcoming record, especially in connection with technology—in this case under the watchful gaze of Future Inc., a data-hungry, fake big tech enterprise from the future (that may or may not bear some resemblance to big tech enterprises in the present). The company’s innovative “Futurescape” technology (as seen in the video for “Distorted Light Beam”) is offering infinite possibilities of a new kind—the chance to journey in to your own innerverse.

In Dan’s words, the concept gives Bastille the opportunity to “poke fun at the way these companies appeal to us and appeal to the world, and advertise themselves and talk about themselves, and take themselves really seriously and earn huge amounts of money whilst taking all our data and more.” Watch Bastille talk about the inspiration behind Future Inc. HERE.
