Tulsa, Oklahoma’s “Absolute Best Rock/Pop” band FM Pilots will release their latest single, “With You”, via iTines and all digital outlets on Tuesday, July 1st. The song will also be distributed to radio outlets for regional and national airplay.
“With You” is the bands first preview of what to expect on their upcoming record, projected for release in early 2015. “This is a song about the back and forth courting that goes with songwriting. It’s funny how being a musician is like a roller-coaster relationship on top of everything else, but it’s also what keeps us going and keeps us strong”, says singer Nick Whitaker.
SOUNDROP UNVEIL SHOW.CO
Soundrop today introduced Show.co, the first modern marketing campaign tool designed for digital music. Show.co pairs content alongside key marketing goals to turn listeners into fans, and fans into revenue opportunities for artists and labels.

Show.co works with each of these platforms and many others to create sleek and effective digital campaigns easily, even for artists who would rather spend their time making music.

We asked real couples to undress and to express affection for each other the way they naturally do,” explains Mark Manney, the band’s American singer / songwriter.

NEW SINGLE BY TWO TWINS
“Bell Tower”, the new single from Two Twins is a monumental break-up song, which could have been written by Quasimodo himself, bereft and angry with only the clangor of his bells for company. Pedal tones and distorted layers underpin the intimate lyrics and swirling saxophones. The song comes in like a giant barge emerging out of the fog and as the meter switches and the song breaks down the effect is of a whirlpool, tugging the listener down into the depths of a romance gone south. The single includes the unreleased bonus track called “My Mine” which features Alec Spiegelman, Carlos Moncada, Sarah Pedinotti.

JESSE TAYLOR “IN MY BONES”
Born in Queensland Australia, Jesse Taylor is a singer/songwriter with a lot to offer. His brand new single In My Bones is set for release this August 2014.
In My Bones illustrates the idea of two different types of people in the world; one type, who get everything handed to them and haven’t learnt anything in the process of life – people who maintain a complete sense of entitlement, and then the people who try their best and who are amazing at what they do, but are often underappreciated.

THE-DREAM REVEALS VIDEO FOR “BLACK”
