OneRepublic have released a new song on iTunes called “Good Life” which appears on their forthcoming album Waking Up due out next week. They have been unveiling a new song each week on iTunes as a countdown to the album’s full release on November 17th. (I will have my review on the whole album on Monday! I can’t stop listening to it.)
The band has just announced a brand new headlining tour date at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA on November 18th. Fans in the Southern California area can also help celebrate the release at a CD signing and free performance on November 19th. Visit OneRepublic.net for more information on the concert and event at The Americana at Brand in Glendale, CA.

Pop-rockers Honor Society debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 200 this week, moving over 22,000 units of their debut album, Fashionably Late. The band kicked off their second headlining tour on Monday, September 21 in Minneapolis, MN and will continue a run of nearly 40 dates with shows across the United States and Canada including an appearance on The Today Show on Friday, September 25.
The release of Fashionably Late caps off a busy summer for Honor Society as they joined the Jonas Brothers on their World Tour 2009 performing to nearly 1 million fans throughout North America. Honor Society simultaneously headlined their own club tour called The Full Moon Crazy Tour where they brought their high-energy live shows to sold out venues including the Blender Theater in New York City and over 1,500 fans at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.
See below for what the press is saying about Honor Society and Fashionably Late and visit HonorSocietyMusic.com for more info and a full list of tour dates.
Rolling Stone: “Over You” (3 stars) — delivers “shiny heartbreak that splits the difference between *NSYNC and Maroon 5 – all riffing synths… and tunefulness.”
Entertainment Weekly: Honor Society are “crafty pop rock dudes” with songs that “shimmer with freeze-dried funk licks…”
People Magazine: “…fans will likely swoon over …” whose “strongest tracks include the power ballads ‘Where Are You Now’ and ‘Goodnight My Love’ both showcasing Bruno’s emotive tenor. ‘My Own Way’ is an infectious pop-rocker.â€
Dallas Morning News: Honor Society are “purveyors of that frenetic catchy-crunchy pop sound of the day…”
Today marks the release of Demi Lovato’s album Here We Go Again! The sophomore effort from the teen sensation features new, very personal songs that were written with a goal to “inspire people, to help them get through whatever they’re going through in their lives.” Demi continues, “That’s the ultimate goal with every piece of music I make.”
On her 2008 debut album Don’t Forget, Demi collaborated with long-time friends and tour mates the Jonas Brothers, while Here We Go Again finds her branching out as a writer with such bold-faced names as John Mayer, “Torn” songwriter Anne Preven and singer-songwriter Jon McLaughlin. She also wrote again with Nick Jonas on the soulful, searching “Stop The World.”
Head over to iTunes today to buy the album and check out the remaining dates of Demi’s headlining tour.
