Former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump has confirmed a full US tour from August 3rd to September 3rd. More details of the tour such as other performers will be released soon.

Current Bigger Lights drummer Ryan Seaman is now going to drum for the band Falling In Reverse, the new project by Ronnie Radke (ex-frontman of Escape the Fate). This band recently finished the recording of their full-length album onto Epitaph Records. As of now it has not been released on how this affects Ryan’s position in The Bigger Lights.

Aspiring musician, Sam Ceglarek recently debuted her newest song, Tear It Apart.  Sam has just finished her first semester at Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and recorded this song in one of the school’s practice rooms.  This melodic pop anthem, produced by Dylan Nelson, is a love child of Sara Bareilles and Michael Bublé.  Written by Ceglarek, and featuring the talents of Ian Stewart (Violin) and Sarah Rogowski (saxophone), Tear It Apart is a strong start to Sam’s career and should soon be occupying the capacity of iPod’s everywhere.

Although the date of release has not yet been announced, former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump has finished recording his debut solo album Soul Punk onto Island Records. He is one of the dozens of AP’s Most Anticipated Music issue coming out next month, and is letting his fans help in his decision of which version of “Spotlight” he wants to put on the album. Head over to patrickstump.com to cast your vote. I’m more of a “New Regrets” kind of kid if you ask me.

Owl City penned the song – “To the Sky” – to serve as the theme to Director Zack Snyder’s animation debut Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. The song “To the Sky” is not only the soundtrack’s first single, but is also featured prominently within the film and plays again as it soars over the end title sequence. Featuring themes and imagery from the film, the music video for Owl City’s “To the Sky” has just premiered on Vevo.

Suggested songs : Dr.Feel Good (Feat. Cee Lo Green), Billionaire (Feat. Bruno Mars), & After Midnight

There is a tour bus outside of Milwaukee’s famous Rave Club, outside it are teenage girls, all sporting their homemade shirts professing their love for Never Shout Never. Security guards are peeved, telling them they’re too close, and three feet away are four fans on their hands and knees, drawing a name in chalk around his traveling home. We venture onto the bus into the back and are greeted by the 19 year old who has purloined the hearts of millions of people besides the ones swarming around the venue. It is as if everyone in the English speaking language now knows of his existence. From his lack of shoes, ukulele tunes, and his message of spreading love and appreciation of nature, Christofer Drew has made the journey from his room in Joplin, Missouri, to the stages of nearly every state in the country. The first I heard of him was when I was in the eighth grade, still swooning over his Myspace picture. Three years later, I’m sitting on his couch, inhaling his secondhand smoke. Singing something I’ve never heard before and playing an acoustic, he lights a cigarette just as the door to the room we’re in closes. Humble and sure of where he’s going along with what he believes, upon reading his lyrics and speaking to him in person, it is no wonder why fans fall at the site of him.

A while back I went to a show at a local venue.  It was a talent show full of junior high and high school students.  After finishing a mildly embarrassing performance, a girl by the name of Devin Gackle took the stage. She immediately won the crowd over with her humor before she even started playing.  And they only grew more interested as the song went on.  She ended up winning the contest that night.  At just a junior in high school, singer/songwriter Devin Gackle, is someone you want to know.  Her lyrics are deep and heartfelt and she ties them together with soothing strums of her acoustic guitar.  I am very excited to present our interview with this star on the rise.  Click Here for a video of Devin playing her song “Ruins.”

1. When did you start singing and playing the guitar?
I’ve been singing for about as long as I can remember, and started to pick up the guitar in 6th/7th grade, my dad taught me some and then I taught myself the rest. I’ve always been a writer so putting them together just seemed like a good idea.

2. What are the top five most played artists on your iPod/iTunes?
Within Temptation, Marie Digby, Pillar, BarlowGirl, and random artists.

3. What is the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Probably the concerts at this camp in Nashville I went to called Camp Electric. There was a concert every night, and the artists were Red, Pillar, BarlowGirl, Newsboys, Toby Mac, and Bluetree.

4. What are your hobbies other than your music?
I really enjoy movies and I love to make them too. And the best sport ever is baseball, so I love to play softball.

5. Are you interested in pursuing music as a career?
Heck yes. I don’t know how, but I know that it’s all I want to do.

6. What goes through your head before you perform?
It is never the same thing. Some things make me more nervous than others, sometimes I don’t get nervous at all. I try to say something before I perform a song, maybe say something about the song or something funny and it usually ends up being both.

7. Where do you find inspiration for your songs?
Inspiration is everywhere. The good stuff just comes to me. I know that if I try to hard to write a song it won’t turn out the way I want it to. I could be eating lunch, at the grocery store, walking to my car, anything.

Acoustic or Electric? um…acoustic cause you can bring it anywhere without having to plug it in.

Pirates or Ninjas? ooh….tie.

My friends are: Completely random :).

I hate: when people spell my name with an o instead of an i.

Miley Cyrus is: improving, she’s not half bad.

“So, for the past few months.. ‘we’ have been working really hard – creating a new record for our new band. ‘we’ have a ton of material & plan on spending a little more time perfecting the songs- to ensure that this is the best record we have ever written, as individuals, and as a group. ‘we’ really appreciate all of your patience as this has been a long process for all of us. I do believe though, that it is about time that I begin to slowly start sharing more information with all of you on what it is that has had so much hard work and time put into it…so, how about.. on Tuesday? Would you guys be into me revealing a band member via my twitter on that day?”

Months after his departure from Chiodos, formerly estranged frontman Craigery Owens has finally come out of his Michigan cave to announce who has been collaborating with him on his upcoming solo album. I. Am. Excited.
