Hot Off the Relative Success Of Their Last Album, Gym Class Heroes Are Already Prepping The Release Of Their Next Project - The Quilt. Here Is the Lead Single, Featuring The-Dream, It Is Entitled - Cookie Jar.
The first thing that hit me was the distinctive production, it has that effortless addictive sound of The-Dream. While the lyrical content is empty as ever, it has Gym Class Heroes mark all over it, that R&B/Pop sound that I can't help but love.
I still can't help but to dislike Travis, he just annoys the hell out of me & I can't explain why, apart from the fact that he is one of the whack-est rappers out there at the moment. However, it doesn't put me off of a really good Pop song.
Gym Class Heroes will be previewing the material this summer with dates on the Warped Tour

Jeremy Camp has never been one to hold back. "Beyond Measure" reveals a man secure enough to take risks, confident and willing, and it's a thrill ride for us all.
The path of Jeremy Camp has been a well-publicized one, and many have taken satisfaction in watching the blessings pour into his life. From the raw yearning of debut “Stay,” to the surrender of “Carried Me: The Worship Project,” to the strength of “Restored,” Camp has generously shared the process of his journey in his music, leaving fans feeling invested deeply in the story of this talented songwriter. Watching Camp find love again with Benjamin Gate’s Adie and establish a family with their two young children brought joy to fans, and they will understand the deep sense of recognition and gratitude that flows from “Beyond Measure.” The project feels personal, as does much of his work, but it also contains a feeling of release, of exhilarating freedom. Camp displays more diversity in these twelve tracks and a willingness to experiment a bit, stretching out both vocally and musically on tracks like the muscular pop-rocker “Everything.” The good news is that it works; listeners will pick up on the energy in most of these new songs.
Even as the heavy guitar riffs open the project with rocker “Tonight,” an excitement clearly pulsates. The upbeat guitar-driven “What It Means” follows, shimmering with hooks and sincere worship. The title track serves as the album’s centerpiece, a perfectly-placed rocker thick with gratitude and recognition of the cost of his blessings. The passion builds from this point forward, big in “Let It Fade” and the throbbing rocker “Feels Like.” It’s petal to the metal fervor in the pumping hard-rocker “No Matter What,” an uplifting song of promise and commitment. Things slow down briefly for the standout track, “I Am Nothing,” a quiet ballad of straight-up worship, its luscious strings, glowing vocals, and inventive changes building to a glorious crescendo of adoration. The anthemic “Give You Glory” follows, a rousing rocker dripping with exuberance. Camp takes a chance on the closing track, slowing and simplifying down to an acoustic guitar for “Give Me Jesus,” a simple praise ballad that is deeply expressive and worshipful. It’s good to see Jeremy Camp taking chances, especially when they work as well as they do on “Beyond Measure,” releasing from BEC Recordings on October 31st. The many listeners who have followed and enjoyed Camp’s fan-friendly generosity will find great satisfaction and even resolution in “Beyond Measure.”
If you enjoy Jeremy Camp's hard-rocking and vocal strengths, there are a few indie artists you should check out: Jason Harwell, Brandon Chase, and David Frust. And of course, Todd Agnew brings the same muscular strength to his projects as well.

"I Kissed a Girl," which songwriter Katy Perry says is "about the magical beauty of a woman," is currently the No. 1 best-selling pop track on iTunes (& the #2 best-selling track overall on iTunes) and the #1 most-downloaded iTunes Ringtone. It is also the No. 1 most-requested song at multiple Top 40 stations nationwide, including New York's Z100 but also at Modern Rock stations like Los Angeles' KROQ."
Recently, MySpace launched an exclusive album premiere for One of the Boys and within one week, close to half a million people had logged on for a listen to the album. Aside from "I Kissed a Girl", other notable tracks include "Thinking of You", which was recently heard on MTV's The Hills and "Hot N Cold," a track that Blender Magazine calls a "spunky climate-controlled kiss-off."
The sexy, eye-popping video for "I Kissed A Girl", shot by Kinga Burza (Kate Nash, The Thrills), premiered on MySpace on May 21st and racked up more than 2 million views within two weeks -- making it the site's second-highest ranking premiere ever. The clip is already sizzling on VH1 (in large rotation), MTV Hits, Fuse and Music Choice, and has been featured on the Fuse network's Steven's Untitled Rock Show and Logo's "New Now Next" music-video series. MTV will introduce the video this Thursday on TRL during their "Spankin' New Music Week."
"I Kissed a Girl," which was produced by in-demand hitmaker Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne), is the lead-off single from Katy's debut album, One of the Boys, which will be released by Capitol Records on June 17th. A witty, pop-rock gem that showcases Katy's sharp, candid lyrics, big voice, and feisty, girl-power swagger, as well as her appealing vulnerability, One of the Boys is the full-length follow-up to her debut digital EP, Ur So Gay (available on iTunes since last November), which has already earned the 23-year-old Santa Barbara, CA, native a legion of devoted fans. Those fans include the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, who recently gave Katy shout-outs on two morning radio shows, calling "Ur So Gay" her "favorite song."
Three days after One of the Boys is released, Katy Perry will kick-off this summer's Vans Warped Tour, appearing on the Hurley.com Stage for the tour's entire coast-to-coast run from June 20th to August 17th, 2008. You can also catch the raven-haired dynamo on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless. The episode, airing June 12th, features Katy as herself doing a photo shoot for the cover of Restless Style magazine (soon to be available at www.restlessstyle.com). Other upcoming television includes two appearances on TRL, one on June 12th for MTV's "Spankin' New Music Week," and one on June 16th. Katy will also perform "I Kissed a Girl" on Spike TV's Guy's Choice Awards, which airs on June 22nd.
