Tourism are a band of gentlemen.
After re-locating from Derbyshire, (in the midland region of the Great British Isle) many moons ago, Joe and James, the Wisniewski Brothers, had a romance with Rolf Harris that ended messily.
But that’s another story altogether.
Upon their arrival in this land of opportunity, they soon became best of friends with young good-fellows Adrian Brown and Ben Fothergill and Tourism was born. At first a social club for young aristocrats, Tourism morphed into a musical venture in late 2010 and now these 4 outstanding young lads play tunes that make you bop your head up and down.
Have a dance. Have a laff. Feast your ears on Tourism!

Tokio Hotel have sold 7 million records worldwide, performed for 500.000 people at the Eiffel Tower and gone platinum in 68 countries. They are television stars and tabloid favorites, celebrities of the highest order, a band so big their every move is accompanied by a mobile army of photographers.
But they traded it all for total anonymity in L.A., where founding members Bill and Tom Kaulitz were anything but the biggest show in town.
“When we first moved to America, I couldn’t even hear the name Tokio Hotel. I was so over it,'” Bill says. “We needed to figure out what we wanted to do, step away from the music and the career to clear our heads and start fresh.”
The end result is their new album, Kings of Suburbia, a relentless collection of songs that burn bright and never fade away. Influenced by a year of intense reinvention – and endless escapades in L.A.’s club scene – it captures the full spectrum of wild nights and bleary-eyed mornings, an album recorded without care or compromise.
Kings of Suburbia is Tokio Hotel’s most defiant declaration to date. They worked with an eclectic group of producers and were influenced by top DJs they’d see at L.A.’s hottest clubs. But for the first time in their career, the Kaulitz brothers handled the majority of the studio work, with Tom stepping to the forefront, expanding his sonic repertoire to include not just the guitar, but piano, drums and synthesizer.
And yes, Tokio Hotel are aware that conventional wisdom holds in this business, you can’t go away for five months, let alone five years. But they’re going to put that theory to the test. They’ve already conquered the world once, and with Kings of Suburbia, they’re ready to do it again … on their terms.

PRESENTED BY JOE KELLEY (@joe_kelley)
CRUISR began in 2012 as the solo project of Andy States and quickly morphed into what it is today; an indie-pop band whose summery, feel-good hooks are infectious and stadium ready.
States wrote and recorded the band’s first EP in his Philadelphia bedroom, fixated on the idea of what it means to craft a pop song. “I have an obsession with writing pop music and the idea that songs can transcend people.,” States says. “I saw that producer Jeremy Park started writing blog articles about how he recorded Youth Lagoon, so I wrote to him and sent him my songs asking for advice and knowledge. He wrote back and loved my stuff and helped me produce the first EP.”
The six-song self-titled EP was released in the summer of 2012 and quickly garnered attention online and in the press. With all the newfound awareness Andy promptly realized he needed a band to bring his songs to the stage. “Jon was always my sounding board. I’d show him songs in the making and get his advice. It only made sense that he’d become part of CRUISR,” Andy notes. With the addition of Kyle and Bruno the quartet set out performing whenever possible. And of course, they continued to write.
“The writing process definitely changed once we became a full band. I’ll work on my computer and bring the idea to Jon. By that time it’s structured and has a backbone, guitars are figured out etc. Jon elaborates on the idea with drums and it goes from there.” In late 2013 CRUISR released a new track online, “Kidnap Me,” which attracted even more positive attention than the EP. Representative of CRUISR as a cohesive unit, “Kidnap Me” was the first track written as a band and showcases what CRUISR does best; sunny, warm, indie-pop. “It’s funny because we’re from Philadelphia and we write songs that sound like summer, which is a fleeting season here. I guess it’s just because Philly is where we feel happiest, and when we’re happy we write happy music.”
Fast-forward to present day when CRUISR is gearing up to release their second EP, All Over, which features definitive recordings of “Kidnap Me” and “Don’t Go Alone” as well as the brand new title track “All Over”; all of which were produced and mixed by Andrew Maury (RAC, Panama Wedding, Ra Ra Riot). All Over demonstrates how fantastically Andy’s mind is able to translate pop hooks. “How does pop music make everyone like it so much?” States laughs, “Little kids hear it on the radio and just go crazy, singing stupid songs. There’s something that’s so smart about it, and a lot of things that people don’t notice are the key ingredients to writing a pop song. I’m just really into trying to decipher what those things are and trying to make pop music in our own way.”
All Over will be released on September 23 via Vagrant Records.
CRUISR is Andy States (vocals / guitar), Jonathan Van Dine (drums), Kyle Cook (bass), Bruno Catrambone (guitar)

PRESENTED BY JON RAY
Kendall Beard may describe her music as Texas country, but as the title of her debut album, ALL AROUND GIRL (VMG, Sept. 17, 2013), suggests, the Austinite’s talents range as far and wide as her favorite state. She discovered them early, too; Beard started dreaming about a career in music when she was a child.
It didn’t take her long to act on that dream; she made her singing debut at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo while still in junior high school, delivering songs to cover costume changes during a dance competition. (A member of the troupe, she danced, too.)
Her parents knew she loved singing — they gave in to her pleas for voice lessons when she was 10 — but when they saw her perform in public, Beard recalls, they were blown away. Her father began booking her on the Texas rodeo circuit; they spent weekends traveling to gigs.
“From 13 on, I hit it hard,” she says. Raised on Muscle Shoals soul and Louisiana’s rich musical roux blended with Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert influences, Beard developed a sultry sound that attracted scouts from Boyz II Men, who were forming an all-girl act. At 15, she left her small East-Texas hometown and moved to Philadelphia to sing in Sahara Lane, finishing high school online. But college lured her back to the lone star state. Beard majored in communications at the University of Texas at Austin, which led to a PR internship with a major label in Los Angeles.
“It made me realize I couldn’t settle for the business side,” Beard says. “I have to be on the creative side.”
After friends convinced her to try out for season eight of “American Idol,” she wound up auditioning in Puerto Rico — then singing several times on the show as a semi-finalist.
“That really fueled my fire and helped me get a fan base here at home,” Beard says. Inspired, she began writing the songs that became ALL AROUND GIRL. With help from producer AJ Vallejo and his brother Alex, she honed them into 10 alluring tracks, from the sexy, rockin’ first single and video, “Drinkin'” — which sounds party-ready, but carries a country-classic note of caution — to introspective ballads such as “Give You the World.” In that one, she mourns how love sometimes just isn’t enough.
There is indeed a straight-ahead party song, “Out of My Skin,” but its flip side is “The Fall,” a very personal expression of the tolls a loved one’s addiction takes. In “Can’t Hold Me Down,” the opener, Beard reveals her determination to step over life’s obstacles. And in “Part of Me,” the closer, she celebrates love’s joys.
She’s backed throughout by the Latin-rocking Vallejo brothers, plus other top Austinites including steel guitarist Geoff Queen and string virtuoso Haydn Vitera. But Beard is front and center, delivering what she calls “a vocal documentary of my life over the past five years.”
“This album is my baby,” she says. “Every time I thought it was done, I’d write something better.
“Every song is personal,” Beard adds. “I honestly feel very exposed. But that’s OK, because I believe that the best music comes from speaking the truth.”
