The boys are back, and they’re making a grand entrance with both a tour and an album; well, at least they promise they will. With over 10 years since their last studio release, fans are eagerly awaiting the album which is set for April 22, as well as their summer tour. They’re back in the [...]

The pop rock quartet, that swept away all the possible pop charts last year, with their intimate love song “Hey There Delilah,” from the band’s third effort All That We Need. Now Plain White T’s have announced that their hard at work writing songs for their upcoming, yet untitled, album and that they’ll soon hit [...]
Tom Holkenborg, better known under his stage name moniker Junkie XL, has made quite a name for himself in the electro dance scene, over a decade of activity.
