Video Premiere: All Time Low "Somewhere In Neverland"
American punk rockers All Time Low dropped their new video for the single “Somewhere in Neverland” today on MTV. Although the channel no longer plays music videos on the reg, this clip is reminiscent of the TRL days (for those too young to know what that is, it’s a good thing). The single is from their album Don’t Panic, which is available now. The band, currently back from a worldwide tour, are taking a short break before they head back on the road with Pierce the Veil for a run of U.S. dates. Watch “Somewhere in Neverland” below now and download Don’t Panic on iTunes now!

I got to sit down with a couple of the guys from the emerging rock band a few weeks ago to talk about their new album, new video (seen below) and where their name…

Justin Timberlake’s ‘The 20/20 Experience’
It’s been half a decade since Justin Timberlake‘s futuristic, critically acclaimed record Future Sex/Love Sounds landed the singer a place in music history. Before the sophomore record from the one-time lead heartthrob of one of the biggest boybands in the world ‘N SYNC, Timberlake was working to shed his cheesy boyband days and striving to be seen as an artist who, with the combination of two words (“SexyBack“), could change the face of the music scene. It was no surprise that when Timberlake put music on hold to focus on other ventures – acting, managing his own record label and getting married to actress Jessica Biel – the music world…

I’ve been a little behind with letting you in on some of my favorite new musical picks, but it’s for good reason (and I promise it’s not only because I recently became obsessed with Homeland and have been feverishly catching up).

Though the details of our late night expeditions are better kept under wraps – until my inevitable “tell all”…

The brand that delivered international superstars such as Leona Lewis, One Direction and Cher Lloyd are on the hunt for America’s next international superstar.
