My Favorite Highway!

Why haven't I heard of My Favorite Highway? These guys sing the softer side of power pop/rock and it works!It's kind of like The Fray meets Boys Like Girls. Hailing from Fairfax, Virginia, this band is officially on the Op radar.

Pick up the album, How to Call a Bluff now off Virgin Records! Check out the single, "Say So" right here on AMP'd! To catch the guys on tour, hit their MySpace page.

The Summer Set!

Who's going to Warped Tour this year? I'm sure quite a few of you are and at that point you'll be introduced to The Summer Set, if you haven't been already. We've just heard their debut album Love Like This and love it!

Signed to Militia Records, these guys have toured with bands such as Cartel, This Providence and Op Presents Tour bands The Maine and A Rocket to the Moon. Hopefully we'll have them on a future Op tour one day.

Check out the band's video for "Chelsea" and go pick up that album, you won't regret it!

MachoTailDrop

It's rare we find a good skateboarding movie these days, and while i haven't seen this one yet, the trailer promises a unique experience at the very least.

Will you see MachoTailDrop?

There For Tomorrow!

In 2008, The MTVU Woodie Award for breakout artist went to Orlando based alternative rock band, There For Tomorrow. From the same label that brings you All Time Low, these guys are a group to watch in 2010. Well done, Hopeless records!

These guys rocked it out on the 2009 Warped Tour, and recently toured with We The Kings on the Secret Valentine Tour. They'll be on the road in 2010 supporting their debut album A Little Faster. Watch the video for the title track off the new album here!

Op approved.

Old school!

We found this old school indie song, but it's the video that really caught our attention. Check out these waves!

Can't wait for summer!

Story of the Year!

Story of the Year have been laying just beneath the mainstream since 2005, and have consistently put out great music. They're starting off 2010 right, by releasing "I'm Alive", the first single off the upcoming album The Constant.

Check it our here and be sure to pick up the album February 16th through Epitaph records!

The Temper Trap!

On October 13th, Glassnote Records released the debut studio album of Austrailian based band, The Temper Trap. While these guys have already made a name for themselves in Austrailia, they're well on their way of doing the same here in the states.

The debut album, Conditions, features the hit single "Sweet Disposition," which you can check out here on AMP'd! We need to start a campaign to get these guys to do a tour in the U.S, whose with me?
