Side Project are a pop-rock band from Leicester, UK and they will be releasing their debut EP, The Shapes and the Colours, this Friday, April 13th. You can stream “Dance the Night Away” to get a good idea what the band sounds like. Think anthematic rock music with big choruses and a summer vibe.

Their EP is available early on their webstore and if you’re looking for something new to spin as the weather starts to warm up a little bit, this should do nicely.

The Weeknd has topped the charts with his surprise release:

The surprise release, which arrived on March 30 via XO/Republic Records, earned 169,000 equivalent album units in the week ending April 5, according to Nielsen Music — the biggest week for an R&B album in over a year, since his own last album. Of that sum, 68,000 were in traditional album sales.

Also:

Singer Kacey Musgraves collects her third top 10 album, as her seventh studio album Golden Hour bows at No. 4 with 49,000 units (with 39,000 of that sum powered by traditional album sales).

Brendan Kelley of The Lawrence Arms talked with Dying Scene about their recent release:

Ever the businessman, Fat Mike of course had a method to his madness. Says Kelly: “He made a good point, or at least I’m attributing this point to him. (He said) ‘the way people consume music these days is that they just go on Spotify and check something out. Wouldn’t you like to have a bunch of good songs in one place so everybody can just go there and you can make sure they’re not getting something that’s not that representative of your band? A greatest hits record is a great way to do that!”
