Fun posted the music video for their song Walking The Dog from their debut album Aim and Ignite. The song is catchy and for lack of a better word, fun. The video is trippy and full of insanely bright colors, it really is just 3 and a half minutes of dancing that puts a smile on your face. The band has a busy fall schedule, taking over the US and the UK while on tour. Check out the dates below to see if they're coming to you. If not, be sure to pick up Aim and Ignite on iTunes now.

Interview with Your Word Is Law

Your word is law

After doing six hours of press behind the main stage of Merriwether Post Pavilion at the Vans Warped Tour I finally got the chance to walk around for a bit before my next call time. As I walked through the rows I looked at the various merch tents, with colorful banners and shirts with various band names and amusing, although sometimes crude, phrases. I turned the corner into the highest row and walked by a tent containing a few boys around my age, with one holding a sign. "Give our band a listen?" The cardboard sign read and I raised an eyebrow, already knowing I wasn't going to resist denying listening to a new band. But then, the boy holding the sign made the experience ten times better. He flipped the sign over to reveal the words, "I promise we don't suck" written on the back. Already knowing these boys were in good spirits out in the sweltering heat I gave Your Word Is Law a listen, and absolutely loved what I found.

The rest is history, we exchanged information and once the tour was over for the boys I was able to work out a written interview, questions answered by drummer Cote.

How would you describe your sound?

I actually really didn't know what to think about how or what we sounded like until we actually started getting feedback from people on Warped Tour. Our two most common comments from listeners would be along the lines of "You guys sound like old All Time Low!". which made me incredibly stoked because All Time Low is one of my favorite bands. If I had to put it to words myself, I'd say that if you liked "Put Up Or Shut Up, or "This Could Be A Possibility", I have a feeling you'll like us.

How did the band get it's name?

This is a funny story. When we first started the band, (originally Cole, Bryan and I) we had no clue what to name it. We had a few temporary, joke names here and there but nothing really stuck. Finally when Chris (Sanacore) joined the band, we came up with the name Your Word Is Law, which is actually from the song Gimme the Loot by Biggie Smalls.

What do you imagine people doing when listening to your music?

A few things, actually. I imagine a bunch of sweaty people packed into a small room singing their hearts out, which is what a majority of our shows have become. Either that, or people making sweet, sweet love to it. Either or.

Any fun stories from when you spent 20 days following Warped Tour?

Oh yes. We kind of had a running thing with Johnny Craig, singer of Emarosa. Our friend Rod Pires (The Night Alive, Sparks Will Fly) was convinced that Cole (guitar, lead vocals- Your Word is Law) was going to fight Johnny by the end of tour. Never happened, but watching the two interact every day was beyond hilarious.Outside of the Massachusetts date, we bet Rod that he wouldn't run around a gas station in his underwear, swinging his shirt over his head yelling "Spain won". He did.There was also the night in an Atlanta hotel room, but I'm not allowed to talk about that for SEVERAL reasons, haha.

Who is the most mature and immature in the band?

We're all the most immature and the most mature in our own ways. There are times when we all sit around and just play joke songs we've written, laugh at our own stupidity and basically laugh at anything. There are also times when we really have gotten serious to get things done. We can all be very serious when we want to be, we just usually choose not to. Chris Sanacore is probably the most hilarious in the band, he has turned many practices into Cole, Bryan and I literally rolling on the ground, tears in our eyes laughing.

What's the plan for the future of the band? Tour wise and EP/Album wise?

We honestly don't know a lot at the moment. We just got off warped tour, and played a show with Go Radio in our hometown, which was amazing. Jason Lancaster is in my opinion one of the best singer/songwriters of our generation, and it was an honor to share the stage with him.  Next summer we plan to do a little touring on our own, in addition to following Warped Tour 2011 as well. We may even play a few dates next summer. We are also writing for a new EP. No word on when it may be out, but who knows, we may also have a few surprises in store.

Backstreet Boys Plan Comeback Tour With NKOTB for Spring 2011

Back_street_boys

Backstreet is back? It was announced today that everyone's favorite late 90's early 00's boy  band The Backstreet Boys will be going on tour with New Kids on The Block as early as spring 2011. Girls now 16-26 are screaming all over the world at the once again revival of their favorite band. Another exciting part of this news is that new tour, means new music. No word as to if the boys have hit the studio yet, or when they plan to, but we're sure details will be leaking soon. This tour is also rumored to possibly have Boys II Men on the bill, even though we personally would have preferred Hanson. Either way, this boy band tour is one that could only come from some nostalgic-once-teenage-girls head, we'll just be satisfied if they put The Call on the set-list.

Slowed Down Justin Bieber Track Not Only Tolerable, It’s Actually Good


J. BIEBZ – U SMILE 800% SLOWER by Shamantis

Taking a music track and slowing it down is usually only used in order to make the voice sound lower in an attempt to get a few thousand views on YouTube. This slowed down version of U Smile by Justin Bieber however, is a calming 35 minute, dare I say it, masterpiece. The song was slowed down 800% and is getting attention from millions, including Ryan Seacrest. It's calming and serene and incredibly difficult to pull yourself away from. It's better than any mood music I've heard in a long time and I can't help but be reminded of the sounds of crashing waves at certain parts. If you haven't already listened, it's a must hear. Believe us, this is the only time we will ever post about Justin Bieber, and it's worth it.

Alex Gaskarth Posts Demo Off The New All Time Low Album

All_time_low

Today on his Tumblr Alex Gaskarth posted a demo off of the upcoming album, that's rumored to release sometime between now and January. The song has no title but I personally love the new direction the band is taking. All Time Low is a group that's always evolving, but they somehow know how to keep their Baltimore roots.

Update:

Alex just tweeted "The song was tentatively titled 'Actors', but I think I'd like to call it 'Captain Barnacle and the Reverse Cowboy Effect'."

so now the mystery of the title is solved….sort of.

Interview with Jersey from Hey Monday

In honor of Hey Monday's EP release of Beneath It All I thought today would be appropriate to post my interview with Jersey. The band has been getting a lot of love from fans and fellow bands, including We The Kings and All Time Low just to name a few. In the interview Jersey and I talk about Warped Tour, Shoes, Birthdays, and of course what the band has planned for the fall. Make sure to pick up Hey Monday's new record right now on iTunes.
