VIDEO PREMIERE: AVA MAX “SWEET BUT PSYCHO”

The video opens in black and white: a close up reminiscent of the Hitchcock film, “Psycho,” in which Ava watches her man kissing another woman. We then watch as he is invited into her pink cute AF cottage where we watch her go from jealous siren to glamourous serial killer bride — all while singing a pop tune you’ll likely be singing along with after just one chorus.

VIDEO PREMIERE: A R I Z O N A “WHAT SHE WANTS”

Last month they released the double single, “Summer Days” along with “Freaking Out,” which dominated the viral charts and drilled its’ way down into people’s ears and into their hearts. This time, the guys are returning with a stellar visual to match the 80’s vibes of yet another earworm banger, “What She Wants,” a major throwback to the amazing 1983 dance film, “Flashdance,” featuring dancer Jessica Castro who has danced with Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Black Eyed Peas and appeared on TV shows like Glee and all the cool things!

TRACK PREMIERE: DES ROCS “LET ME LIVE, LET ME DIE”

Des Rocs, aka Danny Rocco, is probably best known as one half of synth-rock duo Secret Weapons who toured with Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and more over the past few years. His new solo project explores a side of Danny that is more strictly rock — an amazing throwback and homage to Freddie Mercury and the fuzz boxy rock legends before him. As the follow up from “HVY MTL DRMR” and “Used to the Darkness,” the new tune is anthemic and flamboyant all at once.

TRACK PREMIERE: YOUNGBLOOD "DARK PLACE"

Lead Vocalist Alexis Young says of the song, “‘Dark Place' speaks to the masochistic tendency of repeatedly making the same mistake and not understanding the compromising effects of that until it's too late. Sometimes you really need to have something completely fall apart and be destroyed before you are able to fully understand its value. It is the thrilling allure of pressing the self-sabotage button and watching what unfolds before you."
