Orange County indie alternative act Armors has garnered over 185K plays on Spotify & SoundCloud, while their self released singles ‘Parasite’ and ‘Old House’ received strong support from Los Angeles KROQ as well as numerous blogs. Drawing comparisons to Walk the Moon & X Ambassadors, the band has supported The Colourist, New Beat Fund, and Kopecky. The band will support Meg Myers at the El Rey Theatre on 11/17. The track ‘Aubrey‘ hit me hard with it’s slick production and catchy vocal line.

Insiders are making it known that the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup are moments away from announcing a reunion tour. I hear the money offers are outrageous, nearing $100 million. I am not sure where the band will tour, but it’s definitely happening.

Your cover of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” garnered over 55 million YouTube Views. Being one of the first YouTube Stars, how did you handle the media attention? It was all so crazy and quick when it happened! At first, it was very strange to balance everything and actually be labeled an “artist”. Since I was just a normal kid from Oklahoma when it happened, there was a large amount of adjustment. Five years later, I still feel like the kid behind the keys; I’m just making my way through one day at a time!

Ellen DeGeneres became an instant fan and you became the first signed artist to her record label. Any memorable moments working with DeGeneres? I am so blessed and thankful for Ellen. I remember playing her my first full length album and being so relieved that she liked the tunes. I admire her so much and am always so gracious for her support.

Your new single ‘After Life is amazing. How did the song come together? Thank you so much! The song began with just a simple chord progression on my piano back home in Oklahoma. I brought the song to LA and collaborated with a good friend of mine, Jordan Palmer, to finish the song. The lyric came from a quite dark and personal place, but I wanted the production to contrast the lyric and I wanted the song to be upbeat.

You exploded on the scene in the 6th grade. Now, you’re 18 with 3.5 million Facebook Fans. Anything you would have done differently from then to now? I have no regrets in regards to the past five years. I am so thankful for my supporters and count my blessings everyday.

What can people expect from your upcoming tour? People can expect the future Greyson Chance to be a much more matured version of his twelve-year-old self. However, I still aspire for a large amount of transparency and for everyone to know that these songs come from a personal place and that I am being nothing but myself with this new music. Listeners can expect deeper lyrics, more mature productions, and hopefully some cooler clothes.

Atlanta duo CLAVVS is back with a new song and video of the track ‘Sit You Down‘. The video is a throwback to 80’s goth and perfectly captures this hook-filled tribal pop track. The band will continue to release new songs until the release, slated for Spring of 2016.

Stockholm based Violet Days has released a new track “Screaming Colors”. Lead singer Lina Hansson does a great job displaying her vocal prowess while the track itself contains all the elements of a chart topping pop song. Lina says this about this song “I wanted to write about the feeling when you realize that you gotta break out of that darkness inside of your head and actually open up your eyes and look around you”.
