Hey Monday!

Hey Monday is on the brink of exploding into the next Cobra Starship or Paramore, so we would like to think we're early on the Hey Monday bandwagon, although 100,000 or so Twitter users will blatantly disagree with us.

They've only released a debut album in 2008, Hold on Tight, and the band is currently on tour in support of that album.

Check out their second single off the album, "How You Love Me Now" here on AMP'd!!

Shinedown!


Even though the album has been out for over a year, the 4th single off Shinedown's most recent album The Sound of Madness, has been garnering a lot of attention!

"If You Only Knew" shows the subdue side of the typically harder sounding band, and it's working for them! Currently, the song sits on the Itunes Hott 100 Rock tracks at #4

Check out the song here!

Foo Fighters!

"Wheels" is the single from the Foo Fighters new compilation album, Greatest Hits. The single has the vibe of a song by The Fray, which is somewhat of a softer turn for the traditionally harder rockers. See for yourself......
