4. New Politics
Everyone's favorite Danish indie rockers are back on the road this spring. After releasing album number four "Lost In Translation" in October, the trio is hitting the venues to tour the new record. "Lost In Translation" carried over the badass alternative pop vibe we all know and love with New Politics. They are a versitle group however, showcasing their stripped down piano skills in lead single "One of Us." The depth of this group musically makes for a great show- transitioning from frontman David Boyd breakdancing, to drummer Louis Vecchio's drum solos to their slowed-down piano played tunes by the truly talented guitarist Soren Hansen. They are bringing along alternative on-the-rise artists The Wrecks (who just released a new EP) and DREAMERS. These danes always have a great show up their sleeves and this tour should be no exception.
5. Matt and Kim
After taking nearly a year off due to an on-stage injury, Matt and Kim are back with a new track and a new tour. Earlier this year the duo famous for songs "Now" and "Daylight" released new single "Forever" which featured backing vocals from SWMRS as well as Blink 182's Mark Hoppus. The track is lively and upbeat, like any Matt and Kim song. To accompany the new single, as well as a presumed new LP project, the duo is going on tour with CRUISR and GMAT personal fave Tokyo Police Club. Be sure to check out this fun and upbeat live act!
