Mamma Mia, it’s really happening. After 40 years, ABBA is back together. A new record is due out this November, and a U.K. concert is already planned for next May. 

So… we’re officially calling first dibs. ABBA, take a chance on us and play Riot Fest 2022.

This is not a joke. We will do whatever it takes to make this a reality—and knowing me, knowing you, there is nothing we can’t do. If we succeed, we promise that we will make this thing the greatest concert in the history of live music. Sign our petition now and help us book the greatest band in existence.

Look, we’ve got money (money, money). And sure, Riot Mike is sitting upstairs furiously making phone calls right now, while ABBA Gold blasts through the office (also not a joke). But we need your help to get some Super Troupers on this and make everyone’s collective dreams come true. Sign the petition, tell your friends, and post everywhere you can that you want #ABBAforRiotFest.

American Teeth Drops "SICK" Video + Song Features phem + DE'WAYNE
unnamed-30.jpg

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 USA TOUR DATES KICKING OFF SEPTEMBER 7 IN DALLAS, TX
unnamed-11.png

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.

For specific requirements and more info about your show, please visit the venue website.

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.

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.

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.

KASH DOLL RELEASES NEW SINGLE “SINGLE & HAPPY” FEAT. WALE & ERIC BELLINGER TODAY
unnamed-28.jpg

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.
