Check out VersaEmerge’s new music video for their song ‘Figure It Out’!
The Overture, a short film directed by Shane Drake, which features clips of four new songs from Panic! At The Disco’s upcoming album ‘Vices & Virtues.’
have revealed to Rock Sound they have wrapped up a short film made with director and long-time collaborator Shane Drake, set to include snippets of four songs from their upcoming (and fully awesome) third record, ‘Vices & Virtues’.
“We’ve had the idea for a while – not to shoot a full video, but shoot a short montage of songs from the record and put a little story together,“ explains frontman Brendon Urie.
Having worked with the band on the majority of their previous videos, including breakthrough hit ‘I Write Sins, Not Tragedies’ and recent single ‘The Ballad Of
Mona Lisa’, returning to Drake was a no-brainer for the duo. “Shane is just so awesome to work with, he is unlike any director we’ve known,” chirps Urie. “He really pushes us to come up with some crazy ideas and try to work it in with whatever budget we have.”
Certainly their most ambitious video project to date, promises it’s going to be full of all the theatrics we’ve come to expect from the band.
“It’s something we’ve never done before. We love the music, but under that we want to make things as dramatic and theatrical as possible. There’s dancing, there’s choreography and a lot of cool little surprises. We can’t wait to show you guys!”

‘Vices & Virtues’ is set for release on March 22nd through Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen, and you can preorder the album here.
NEW: A Rocket To The Moon EP
Fueled By Ramen recording group A Rocket To The Moon has announced the release of their new EP. “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” is available for download exclusively via iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-rainy-day-sessions-ep/id394813900).
The 5-track EP features new versions of songs originally found on last year’s acclaimed debut album, “ON YOUR SIDE,” recorded with female bluegrass group Larkin Poe and award-winning producer Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra). Among the highlights of “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” is a Country and Bluegrass Tinged take on the band’s recent single, “Like We Used To,” as well as a creative cover of Beyoncé’s classic “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” (see attached tracklisting).
“The reason behind ‘THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS’ is pretty simple,” says ARTTM singer/guitarist Nick Santino. “We all love making music. In any way shape or form. So when the opportunity was given to us to sit in a room with a tin roof and live record a few songs with two of the most talented bluegrass girls I’ve ever heard on a rainy Georgia day, we couldn’t pass it up. We all love country music and every form of country music. I think this EP really shows our love for the music and music in general.”
“Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” exclusively premiered online on October 1st via AOL Music. What’s more, “Like We Used To” will be released as an iTunes deluxe single on October 21st, with extras including a piano version, music video and deluxe digital booklet with new photos, handwritten lyrics from band and more. The track has already proven an online favorite, with sales exceeding 200,000 and more than 1 million video streams at Fueled By Ramen’s official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/FueledByRamen. In addition, “Like We Used To” is also slated to be featured on two of MTV’s biggest hit shows, Teen Mom (on October 5th) and Jersey Shore (on October 21st).
A Rocket To The Moon will celebrate the release of “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” by supporting All Time Low on their upcoming “My Small Package Tour.” The dates – most of which are already fully sold out – will kick off on October 18th at Philadelphia’s North Star Bar and then continue through mid-December.
The brainchild of Braintree, Massachusetts-based songwriter/musician Nick Santino, A Rocket To The Moon has toured virtually non-stop since the release of their 2008 Fueled By Ramen debut EP, “GREETINGS FROM…” The band has shared bills with an array of like-minded artists, including Cobra Starship, VersaEmerge, 3OH!3, Forever The Sickest Kids, We The Kings, The Maine, The Cab, Cute Is What We Aim For, Secondhand Serenade, Hey Monday, This Providence, and Hit The Lights. ARTTM has also proven a MySpace sensation, now with over 34 million streams and counting.

from Eric Halvorsen of A Rocket To The Moon:
¡Hola amigos!
Not much has been going on on my side of the country. It’s super hot and most of my friends are gone, which is why Lucy looks so sad above. But I’m still doing the most to keep myself entertained. I have been swimming a lot basically.

Hello everyone! Nick and I are having a blast on warped tour. I have missed it. We love our bus mates. Some of them work for wonka, AP, amethyst jeans. 12 girls and 4 guys ha, it could be a sitcom. This is our “kitchen.”
