Asking Alexandria have revealed who their new frontman is which is Denis Shaforostov (formerly of Down & Dirty and Make Me Famous), who replaced long time vocalist Danny Worsnop. But that's not all that's new with the band, they have also gone on to release a new song called "I Won't Give In", featuring Denis in all his glory as Asking Alexandria's new frontman. You can check out Asking Alexandria's new formation on the Vans Warped Tour this summer and expect a new album soon! For now, check out the new song HERE.

Make Me Famous's vocalist has quit so the band has made announcement in regards to this and their breakup  . Read the details of the issue below as well as view this discussion in this video HERE.

Statement from Dusty, Sergei, Serj and Jimmy from Make Me Famous

We are currently in the middle of our first, and unfortunately the last headline tour as the band Make Me Famous. This will also be our last tour and time playing in the band known as Make Me Famous. As it were, most the members of Make Me Famous were very excited and grateful for this opportunity. We would like to say that we love playing music; love touring and most importantly WE love the fans.

We would like to make a statement on the state of Make Me Famous. We four members were never treated like equal musicians to Denis Shaforostov. According to Denis, he was the only member in the band and he treated the rest of us as unpleasant as humanly possible, it was not fun being in a band with him. It was as if everybody but Denis were hired musicians and were expected to do any and everything that he would tell to us to do. Denis would also expect to keep a larger portion of any band income, in return he would treat us disrespectfully and give everyone in the band and the bands team an everlasting negative attitude. From those on the inside of the industry, this might not come as much of a surprise.

Denis not only lied to our label and management about who wrote what in the band, but lied to the fans as well. Denis told everyone that he wrote and recorded 99% of the bands music; in actuality all of Make Me Famous had a large portion in the creation of both. The music we made, including production and recording of our album was a collaborative effort involving all members of the band. We were not appreciated for anything by Denis, he would take his front-man position in the band to his advantage. He lied to the bands label and management in order to get paid more on royalties, payouts and even daily band tour allowances. Meanwhile it was us, the rest of the members of Make Me Famous, who did what normal, hardworking touring musicians do (setting up our gear, loading in merch, driving to the shows) as Denis refused to help while doing nothing but making nasty comment after nasty comment such as, "I brought you here, you owe me! You’re nothing without me"!!

After around 10 months of dealing with Denis and the stress that came with him, we approached our team about his behavior and told them how we did not want to continue on without him. As of right now Denis has overstayed his welcome, he has a plane ticket booked home to the Ukraine and is flying back mid-tour. We will finish the tour without Denis, but sadly is not the first show without him as he has missed out on a whole tour previously because he simply did not want to play that tour (due to the fact that he once told the headlining band vocalist over twitter that THEY would be opening for Denis in 6 months).

In summary, Denis has some issues and according to Denis, the fault to his issues is everyone and anyone but himself. This will be the end of our current incarnation, but we promise you the rest of the members, minus Denis will continue on making music and touring under a new forthcoming name. Our industry team continues to back us and we look forward to playing for you in 2013!

Please come out and support our final Make Me Famous shows (dates below). We would surely appreciate the support from our fans, various singers from the support bands will be filling in on Denis' spot and it will surely be a good time to mark the end of something that we all loved and were excited about but was ultimately ruined by one person—Denis Shaforostov

When it comes to one outlet source there is a variety of ways to use it that is what Denis Shaforostov did promoting himself then began promoting his own take on a metalcore band by the name of Make Me Famous.

Go Figure? Who would want to be famous hence taking a name like that well these guys thats who and thats what got them to get signed with Sumerian Records, released not only a single and video but their debut full-length entitled "It's Now Or Never". It takes a stand at being a lot like A Skylit Drive meets Asking Alexandria with its clean vocal melodies and eletronic portions while the heavier aggressive side really puts everything into its proper place. It's 4 minutes with 15 tracks that keeps it all fresh yet rather listenable throughout. "Blind Date 101", opens things up pumping things up but nothing gets flowing until "Make It Precious", having ballad tune "She Haunted Me", mellow things down. The instrumentals used here are thought out well enough to make this music suiting for the most part having its heaviness occur every so often but everything is put out there into the open letting it all do it's own thing pretty much. While the lyrical context is built on a solid ground being very emotional at times but yet powerful overall.

Fans of Attack Attack, A Skylit Drive, and Asking Alexandria will surly fall in love with these up-and-comers hands down.
