![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve been listening to that EP since October, so you can just imagine my excitement for a concrete release date. The songs sounded amazing live and just as great on the EP. This past fall on their last tour, Hanson previewed a few of the new songs which they recorded acousticly for an EP entitled, Stand Up, Stand Up. It has been three years since The Walk came out and I am ready for new music. Hanson’s fifth studio album, Shout It Out, is set for release June 1, 2010. I am so excited right now. I have been a fan of Hanson’s since 1997 (over half of my life) and I am so happy every time I hear new details emerge of new music. I’m crossing my fingers that all my favorite bands, including Hanson, will be on the dates I want to attend!!įor more information on the tour and for a complete list of dates and bands, head to: So excited.Īlthough all these bands are on the tour, there is a disclaimer at the bottom stating that not all bands will be at each date. All my favorite bands are on this tour: Hanson, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Third Eye Blind, Hellogoodbye, Cartel, Simple Plan and Forever the Sickest Kids. I think the line-up is great and will make for one solid day of music. Personally, I’m just excited that there are so many bands on this tour and that it will act like a mini-Bamboozle in my city. The tour will stop at ampitheaters and Six Flags instead of the smaller venues in past years. This is an interesting move to change up the tour schedule and the fact that now the roadshow is turning into a mini-Bamboozle Festival in each city. The 2010 spring tour starts May 21st in Maryland wrapping up on June 27th in Massachusetts. This year, the tour will talk place two weeks after the New Jersey festival takes place. The Bamboozle Roadshow tour is known to run between the Bamboozle Left Festival leading up to the New Jersey Bamboozle. It’s really interesting how this year’s tour is shaping up. The 2010 Bamboozle Roadshow’s lineup was released today. logo from .Īs if I already couldn’t wait for spring enough with the antipicated Hanson CD release, now I have a tour to also look forward to. Maybe if enough bands do this, major labels will realize there’s a problem with their system and might, just might, give artists a tad bit more control on the music they create.īamboozle Roadshow 2010. Maybe bands need to make the switch to independent labels or form their own. I mean, the “multi-selling” record artist doesn’t exist anymore. Maybe if a CD was solid all the way through to its 12th track, cd sales might actually be better than they are and make the record labels more money? I don’t know, maybe that’s a crazy concept. And sometimes not even a great song, just a hook or chorus. They are not looking for a great album, just a great song. To a major label, one hit song off a record is usually all they are looking for to send to radio and to promote the record. The problem lies in how these major labels are trying to make a profit. Labels and their employees are trying to make the most off of their products, a.k.a. To play devil’s advocate, the music industry is a business. Bands such as Thrice and Hanson (who coincidentially had problems with the same label) experienced musical differences with their label when the label wanted the band’s to produce one hit to carry the rest of the album. OK Go’s main problem is that their label is not allowing them to embed homemade music videos that they made without the label’s budget on their own website or allow bloggers to embed the same videos on their sites. Bands know signing with a major label that these record labels will exhibit a certain amount of control of their music, but should this be a total control over their creative processes? Record labels have a say in their bands’ music and how it gets recorded, sent to radio, promoted, etc. Whether it’s the frustration OK Go is having with EMI, blocking their videos from being embedded, bands battling years long lawsuits, or bands leaving their labels because of musical differences, there is problem. These past couple weeks, I can’t seem to escape articles or bands talking out against major labels. Photo from Īre major labels hurting the music industry? Probably not exactly, but a better question would be, are major labels reducing standards of good music and controlling their label artists too much? Probably so. ![]()
