"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" hits theaters Oct. 10, 2014, with a soundtrack that includes an original end-credit song from The Vamps, plus original songs from two of the film's stars and score by Christophe Beck ("Frozen," "The Hangover"). The six-song EP will be released in the U.S. by Walt Disney Records today, Oct. 7, 2014.
British pop rock band The Vamps was called on to write and perform the end-credit song "Hurricane." The group filmed a music video for the song that features a cameo by Bella Thorne, who stars as big brother Anthony's uptight girlfriend Celia in the film. A sneak peek of the video will debut on Disney Channel Sept. 12, 2014, followed by the full video premiere on VEVO. Director Miguel Arteta ("The Good Girl," "Cedar Rapids," "Youth in Revolt") says it was The Vamps' optimism that drew him to the group. "We wanted people to know that it's okay to have bad days-you can be stronger and better for it," says Arteta. "The Vamps' energy gets that across wonderfully!" According to the director, Beck's score sets the pace for the film. "Chris Beck loved the honesty in the film with regard to what it's like to raise a family and how hectic that can get at times," says Arteta. "He added a genuine life beat to the whole film. When the troubles for the family start, you can almost hear Chris' score going 'Oh noooo!' It feels like honest mayhem in an incredibly fun way."Fans can pre-order the soundtrack beginning today: Wide Download Link: http://smarturl.it/athsa1, Amazon Music Smart Link:http://smarturl.it/athsama1, and Wide Streaming Partners Link: http://smarturl.it/athssta1.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life-a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he's not alone when his mom (Jennifer Garner), dad (Steve Carell), brother (Dylan Minnette) and sister (Kerris Dorsey) all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," directed by Independent Spirit Award-winner Miguel Arteta ("The Good Girl," "Cedar Rapids," "Youth in Revolt") from a screenplay by Rob Lieber, is a 21 Laps Entertainment/Jim Henson Company production. The film hits theaters nationwide Oct. 10, 2014.
