"A Tribute To The Beach Boys Pet Sounds" is the latest tribute to the classic American rock band from the 60's era. Californians The Beach Boys have been around since 1961 to present day, still making music, playing shows, and even touring all over. But with this tribute release to the rock band of the past, it comes from an assortment of artists, that felt their need to contribute. Which is why "Wouldn't It Be Nice", by YYY that features a guest spot from deM atlaS has been included upon this album, as well as is the opening track to this attributing release.

When it comes down to this tributed edition of "Wouldn't It Be Nice", it is nothing like the original by any means of account. The Beach Boy's original version is upbeat, catching, and very reminisce of the 60's era. Whereas the tributed version by YYY that features deM atlaS is a lot like the original version but not that much. This new rethinking of the track, tribute as it were, brings a likeness to the original, having similar vocal ranges, even with the featured appearance by deM atlaS. His addition makes the track more unique. While YYY keeps a classy touch to it, having it be more true to The Beach Boys formula to a certain extent at least.

In terms of the quality between the versions of this particular track, again it is all about the artists in question, nothing can defeat the original version of anything. Whether it is music, movie, book, or television. So the original is set, hands down to be the superior version. While the original is upbeat, bouncy, and very pop-style based, as a lot of the 50's to 60's tunes were, this other take on the track is more modern, but is classy to staying to the original in certain ways. Again the melodies, harmonies, and vocal chords, are all very much like The Beach Boys version, but again maintain a more modern feel.

Having adding on deM atlaS to the mix of things, it becomes the track more of its own thing. His vocals being what they are, nice, keeping the track to be true blue. His way with singing are of his own abilities and style variation, while the music portions of this track are more, genuine. Like take the track as a whole, this tribute is combining the essence of pop, mixed with R&B with synth use of the keyboards and auto-tune a tiny bit, that makes it all truly its own creation. Taking all of this into one object is just something else, it is trying to be something that once was, but it cannot be that because that was then, and this is right now. Here is a track that is unique yet creative on its own accordance, to be original.

No matter what the tribute may be in the long run of it all, a tribute is a tribute for a reason. The reasoning being, that it is paying homage to the original piece. This tribute piece that is this album "A Tribute To The Beach Boys", brings forth various artists who want to put in their two cents at the tracks that have been cherished and beloved by many. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by YYY with a feature by deM atlaS, is just one of those tracks by a set of artists, that know what they are doing, have done it and take it as it is. It being a track that is catching to the ear, has its moments of beats, that keeps the song at hand, real and somewhat true to the original, as certain points get their craft put into effect.

That is how, this release goes in terms of the album itself, and this track that goes with it. You get a mix of the past with the present, getting a whole another generation to experience something that they may or may have not heard before, but will get to experience again.

TRISTN explains how the remix came to be: “‘Sky Wide Ope’ has become a fan-favorite track on my album January.  My fans have been telling me how happy this song makes them feel.  We decided to make a remix of this song simply just to make it even happier.  John Secolo and I worked together on a short project a few years back.  I sent him the song for a remix production and he did such an amazing job making it even happier.”

Thrillchaser – previously known as American Wolves – is beyond thrilled to announce their new full-length album A Lot Like Love. The record, produced by Taylor Larson (From First To Last, Asking Alexandria, Periphery, The Dangerous Summer) is slated for an early 2018 release, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

In 2016, their hit single “Part Of Me” premiered on Billboard and quickly went viral, receiving over 350,000 views on YouTube and over 750,000 plays on Spotify. The stripped down version of the track was later launched on Alternative Press. Now, the band has unveiled a first look at what is to come.

Bassist Rob Lundy said of the track: '"Emptiness" was actually the first song that we completely finished during the recording of our album A Lot Like Love. Exploring a different side to our songwriting and creating a genuine record true to who we are as people were the goals from Day 1. We holed ourselves up in the studio and spent the holidays, winter and early Spring in Bethesda, MD hard at work with producer Taylor Larson.

The song has an overall message of ‘What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger’ which serves almost as a mission statement for THRILLCHASER. We've endured a lot of trials and tribulations behind the scenes as a group but we're better from the experiences and couldn't be any happier to finally be releasing music again."

A Lot Like Love is due out February 16th but pre-orders are available now with an instant download of “Emptiness,” here: http://apple.co/2zJXXX5.

X JAPAN leader YOSHIKI returned to Paris, France, on October 24th for his final day of a marathon tour promoting the European premiere of award-winning documentary, We Are X.

YOSHIKI will immediately return to Japan to appear at the HALLOWEEN PARTY 2017 concert event at Makuhari Messe on October 29th presented by VAMPS. Next week, on November 3rd, YOSHIKI CHANNEL (ranked first among artist channels on Japan’s largest video site “NicoNico”) will broadcast a visit to the new YOSHIKIMONO exhibition and present a guest performance from Wagakki Band.

YOSHIKI began the We Are X European promotion tour on October 12th in Berlin, Germany, traveling to 11 cities in 10 countries in just under 2 weeks. Including multiple Q&A sessions with fans at sold-out screenings, YOSHIKI maintained an intensely packed daily schedule totaling over 130 interviews for international television, web, and print media.

Still recovering from his surgery months ago, YOSHIKI followed doctor’s orders and had to cancel his Iceland premiere appearance to avoid further strain from overworking. Expressing his regret for the last-minute cancellation, YOSHIKI sent hundreds of signed photos to his fans who had gathered to see him in Iceland, showing his appreciation for their support.

After a few days rest, YOSHIKI returned to Paris as scheduled to complete the Europe tour, broadcasting on YOSHIKI CHANNEL and resuming his full interview schedule, even making appearances on the talk and weather segments of France’s most famous TV channel “TF1.”

Following YOSHIKI’s television appearance, it was announced that over 50 theaters in Paris alone will screen We Are X as a result of YOSHIKI’s promotional efforts.

“At the beginning of my career, I traveled around Japan for promotion, and now I’m doing the same thing around the world. I’m really beginning to understand how big this world is,” YOSHIKI said as he completed his final day of European tour. “I’m going to work hard to get X JAPAN back on stage again.” YOSHIKI is currently finalizing X JAPAN’s first studio album in over 21 years. “It’s almost finished, except for a few guest artists tracks,” he assured interviewers. “Get ready for it.”
