Los Angeles quintet Young Hunting have revealed their new single 'Crimes' from their sophomore album True Believers out on February 15 via Gold Robot Records (pre-order). The track premiered at PopMatters and can also be shared at Soundcloud. About the song PopMatters says, ''Crimes' is the latest offering from Los Angeles-based dream pop outfit Young Hunting. The tune is an appropriate blend of the world-weary and the resolute. Filled with vocal harmonies that would not have been out of place on radio during the 1970s with musical settings that recall the warmth and glory of LPs by all those listed above, 'Crimes' is quietly and strangely anthemic (if you can imagine T.S. Eliot's famed antihero J. Alfred Prufrock crafting an anthem), a balm for the heartbroken and soul-searching.'

Over 45 talented dancers from Northampton, PA, and Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex, Warren counties in NJ and have earned roles in the New Jersey Civic Youth Ballet's (NJCYB) new production of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.

Groovy. Effortless. Cool. The music of Daft Punk penetrates one's psyche upon first listen and there it remains. Such is the power Daft Punk's music holds and it's no wonder their original productions have shattered expectations and become objects of imitation for music-creators who came after. The California-based producers, Traveler and PHYNX, are amongst Daft Punk's millions of admirers, but the Traveler and PHYNX take on this Daft Punk original is quite unique. The Traveler & PHYNX Remix of Daft Punk's 'Give Life Back To Music' is out now.

Optimistic. Vibrant. Soaring. As cherry blossoms explode in bloom in the Northern Hemisphere, spring gives way to summer and soon this season's pop anthems will radiate from open car windows out onto the streets. The first pop anthem of summer 2018 will surely be Maarten Vorwerk & Traveler's 'Go With Me,' out now on VRWRK.
