GOGOL BORDELLO Release "Seekers And Finders (Acoustic)"
unnamed-16.jpg

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!

Upcoming show: Neck Deep at The Majestic Theater Detroit

 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!

The official music video for "Parachute", from the new album "The Peace and The Panic" out now on Hopeless Records! ►Buy The Peace And The Panic for only $5 now!

 

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 Releases New Music Video "Disappear" feat. Lynn Gunn

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." 

The official video for Tonight Alive's single "Disappear," off their upcoming album 'Underworld' out January 12th!

 

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 RecordsUnderworld 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/.

LIL PUMP KICKS OFF HEADLINE TOUR WITH SOLD OUT LOS ANGELES SHOW
unnamed-13.jpg

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 SnobietyXXLComplex,  The Boombox, and more have already featured the video. 

Lil Pump remains the undisputed biggest breakout of 2017!

Esskeetit!

New Found Glory has been taking their "20 Years of Pop Punk" Tour all around the world and recently filmed a live video to share with their fans. Featuring live footage of 5 songs from the band's recent show at O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, the video shot by Paris Visone, showcases the band's seemingly unending energy on the stage echoed by the fans' non-stop sing-alongs.

Recently, New Found Glory premiered the music video for the island jam "The Sound of Two Voices" exclusively with Billboard. On the track, Billboard shared that the "most un-New Found Glory-sounding song (from Makes Me Sick) was also its best...'The Sound of Two Voices' takes some steel drums and a ska-punk backbone, and rolls a fat one for anyone who thinks they've seen the last of New Found Glory's fresh ideas." Fans can check out the video, along with an exclusive interview from Guitarist Chad Gilbert on Billboard.com.  

New Found Glory is also excited to be hitting the road again this Fall for the last US leg of their 20 Years of Pop-Punk Tour. Kicking off in Columbia, SC on October 24th, this tour will give fans two full albums each night from the band's impressive catalog including Catalyst, Not Without A Fight, Self-Titled, Sticks and Stones, Resurrection and From The Screen To Your Stereo.

Like the show, these Reptar Bars have a milk chocolate exterior and a green frosting interior. Consumers should expect to have their tongues bright green for a few hours after eating them.
