Interview: American Authors (Video)
Every once in a while a band comes along that refuses to fit into the constraints of one genre, and American Authors are a refreshing reminder of how liberating that can sound. Since tip-toeing onto the scene a few years ago, the band has landed on radio, television, and Warped Tour. Their song “Best Day” is as ubiquitous as the sunshine in the summer, but their new album What We Live For features the new single “Go Big or Go Home,” and is making its way everywhere. I spoke with Zac from the band at this year’s Warped Tour and you’ll find that video interview below.

Blink-182 Debut at Number One on Charts
Blink-182 officially have the number one album in the country.
After nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Drake’s Views is dethroned from the top slot by Blink-182’s new set, California. The latter debuts at No. 1 with 186,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 7, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 172,000 were in traditional album sales — the third-largest sales week for a rock album in 2016.
Well deserved.

Sponsor: My Thanks to Amazon Prime
My thanks to Amazon Prime for sponsoring Chorus this week. Amazon Prime is a service I’ve been a member of for quite a few years now and give it my full recommendation. Currently the service is offering a 50% discount for all students, and if you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, the two-day delivery is a game changer. Why go to the store when you don’t have to? Down with stores, yay for clicking buttons.
Also, Amazon Prime Day is July 12th and there will be all kinds of deals going on throughout the day. So, if you’ve been thinking about giving it a shot — now’s a great time.
Chorus TV: Tiny Moving Parts
The air conditioning is off but the crowd of The Echo is packed into the steamy 350-cap room in the middle of June eagerly anticipating the lineup to come. The 26th stop along a 5-week run of shows brings Free Throw, Prawn, and Tiny Moving Parts to LA for an evening of indie rock and emo twinkle-daddies.
Tiny Moving Parts is headlining in support of their latest release, Celebrate, a summer album chockfull of finger-tapping and shout-along anthems — the perfect remedy for a twenty-something’s 2016 quarter-life crisis. Free Throw and Prawn are the perfect compliments, with Prawn—ever wistful and dynamic—and Free Throw paying homage to the mid-to-late 90’s era of emo.
