The All-American Rejects' third album, When the World Comes Down, was released in late 2008. The band has hit big with their first single "Gives You Hell" as it peaked at Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 2 on Pop 100 charts, as well as in the top twenty of the UK Singles chart and number three on the Australian ARIA Singles chart.

The first is Tigerfest at Towson University on the 25th of April and then on the 28th of April at the 9:30 club.

Named so for the sisters of Meg & Dia Frampton, Meg & Dia gave a breath of freshness to the 2009 Take Action tour lineup. Earplugsrequired.com caught the tour in Baltimore at Ramshead Live!. Their set combined older songs such as "Roses" and "Monster" along with songs like "What If?" and "Black Wedding" from their soon to be released album Here, Here and Here. Known also for the cover songs they do, they didn't disappoint with the cover of Blind Melon's "No Rain". We caught up with singer Dia Frampton and drummer Nick Price prior to the show and learned of Dia's obsession with Tom Petty, Nick not running interference with the boys on the tour and how it was to work with Howard Benson. Take a listen!

Out of the demise of one comes another. James Hart the frontman of Eighteen Visions didn't waste any time in starting a new project. Originally signed to Island/Def Jam, the label decided to shelve the project so Burn Halo’s manager Bret Bair formed his own label Rawkhead Rekords through Warner Music Group to release the record. James assembled a band and went out to do what he does best, perform in front of a crowd.
