ATP! Lists: 10 Reasons We're Excited for a (Possible) New Good Charlotte Album
Emergency, call 911! Good Charlotte released their first new song in nearly five years last week (well, a collaboration with Waka Flocka Flame) and ever since, our hearts have been racing at the idea that a new GC record maybe coming our way sooner rather than later! This is pure speculation at this stage, but with this new track being released combined with cryptic tweets from vocalist Joel Madden hinting that this dream may become a reality.. you could say we had a few reasons to believe the band are potentially plotting a comeback in the not too distant future.
ATP! Lists: 10 Reasons We're Excited for Tonight Alive's New Album
1. It’s been nearly two years since the band’s last album, The Other Side, and uh, we’re kind of dying here.

This Is What Dreams Are Made Of: 5 Reasons Why We’re Glad Hilary Duff Is Back
1. She’s Much More Than Just Lizzie McGuire
We’ve all seen Lizzie McGuire. There’s a pretty good chance that it was actually your favorite program growing up, you can quote every episode, and you know all the words to the theme song. The television show is what set off the singer’s career – but don’t be fooled, the names Lizzie McGuire and Hilary Duff are not synonymous. Because of Lizzie McGuire’s positive impact on audiences, it may be difficult for some to initially recognize Duff as a developing artist herself instead of a popular character on an early-2000’s Disney show. But selling Hilary Duff short would be the ultimate mistake – her successes span far past her start, and she is much more than just Lizzie McGuire.

ATP! Lists: 10 Must-See Acts at Vans Warped Tour 2014
Nick Santino (Playing: All dates)Words: Victoria Mier
Though Nick Santino is probably best known for his sweet voice on tracks like “Baby Blue Eyes” from his former position as A Rocket To The Moon’s lead singer, his new music is just as great, if a little different. He’ll be playing on Warped Tour’s Acoustic Basement, and if you haven’t listened to his latest EP, The Ones You Meet Along The Way, now’s the time to grab a copy to make sure you can sing along to his set on Warped. Santino has taken a folksy, country outlook on pop/rock, which has really given the young musician a chance to show off his skills as a singer/songwriter. Since his tunes are a little mellower than the other bands you might be seeing on Warped, Santino’s well-crafted ballads will serve as some downtime between all your moshing and crowd surfing. That said, don’t forget he toured the world with A Rocket To The Moon and peaked at #4 on iTunes’ singer/songwriter charts with The Ones You Meet Along The Way, so it’s safe to say Santino will certainly put on a show. Make sure you stop by Warped Tour’s Acoustic Basement to see him in action!
ATP! Lists: #FlashbackFriday - Top 10 All-Girl Anthems
“Torn” is one of those anthems that’s empowering because it’s totally miserable. It has as much authority on blast in your bedroom while you’re drying your hair as it does in a club while you’re dying laughing because your bestie is dancing to it really, really expressively. I have a lot of time for a song that can succeed in both those arenas.
9. Christina Aguilera – Can’t Hold Us Down
Basically, everything the Internet has to say about gender equality in 2014, Christina and Lil’ Kim already nailed. There are, of course, songs that came before this that did the same, but the media is definitely guilty of letting this one fade from memory and it's tragic. It’s the chart-topping feminist manifesto that everybody forgot to mention when it came to processing Lily Allen’s Hard Out Here or Beyonce’s Flawless. Also one time for the styling in this video, which is absolutely on point.
ATP! Lists: 11 Ladies Owning The Music Industry In 2014
Whether it’s what Miley does with her tongue or what Beyoncé does at all, female artists have become an increasing fixture of news headlines over the last few years and discussion around issues of sexism within the music industry has never been more fervent. Sometimes, the comments and controversy surrounding some of these issues can obscure the fact that there are so many women with impeccable game who are absolutely killing it right now, both inside and outside of the charts. So, from indie powerhouses Tegan and Sara to goth princess Taylor Momsen, here are eleven of ATP’s favorite ladies who are dominating the music industry right now.
ATP! Lists: Five Reasons Hayley Williams Is A Role Model
For over a decade, Hayley Williams has been proving the critics wrong. Sexism and a male-dominated music industry immediately labelled Paramore as just another No Doubt copycat. Critics were quick to compare Hayley to Gwen Stefani, unable to see beyond her gender and see that she's less Stefani and more Freddie Mercury, especially during live performances, when she electrifies crowds like a thunder storm of bubble-gum spunk and roaring vocals.
Perhaps Hayley is a rock 'n' roll super hero or Lisbeth Salander-tinged heroine, but what cannot be debated is her ability to inspire through infectious music that's about as perfectly pop as cotton candy at the County Fair. Hayley is the exception to the rule: straight edge, vocally talented, and driven to succeed with her music rather than her behavior on the "scene." If the recently wrapped 'Paratour' is any indication of the future, she seems to destined to continue shattering the glass ceiling, hanging with the boys, and proving that being genuine is the most valuable currency in life.

ATP! Lists: 10 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2014
We Are The In Crowd - Weird Kids (February 18th)
Label: Hopeless Records
We may have been just a little over-eager back in 2013 when we added We Are The In Crowd to our ‘Most Anticipated’ list. What with relentless touring schedules, and, you know, general worldwide domination (well, almost…), we ought to have cut WATIC a break. But as soon as they got one? Oh, did they deliver! With the HIGHLY anticipated release of their sophomore record, ‘Weird Kids’ promises to be not only deeper, but also catchier (if that’s even possible!) than anything they’ve done before – the timing perfect, to coincide with yet more shows across the globe.
If tracks like ‘Attention’ and ‘The Best Thing (That Never Happened)’ are anything to go by, then the five piece may well be onto a winner. Proof, indeed, that patience is a virtue.

ATP! Lists: 10 Must-Hear Acts at Riot Fest 2013
Fall Out Boy (Playing: September 13th)Words by: Gina Catalano
Chicago has been the talk of the town this year with its second Stanley Cup victory in three years, its backdrop for the fourth Transformers movie, and its biggest headlining festival and carnival the city has seen. To top that off, hometown heroes Fall Out Boy will be back in the area for Riot Fest during a day off from their fall arena tour. While they won’t have opening acts Panic! At The Disco and twentyonepilots with them, the crowd should expect nothing less than pure entertainment from the punk-rock quartet.
After a four-year hiatus, the band made an unforgettable comeback this past February by torching their previous albums at the location where Comiskey Park once stood and announcing they were back with their new album, Save Rock and Roll. In the six months since, the band has showed the world that while they have grown as artists and bandmates, they are still the same band whose lyrics and melodies help heal the soul and set the mind to believe that anything is possible. Believers never die, after all. Now, while the man behind the Riot Fest Twitter account begs for a Jesse and the Rippers performance, can we start a petition to get Elton John on stage during Fall Out Boy’s set? Anyone? Bueller?

ATP! Lists: 10 Must-See 2013 Summer Tours
Words by Jordan Wyman
Want to go to a show where you can brush all the dirt off your shoulder and then sing about dicks in boxes? Then you better have your tickets to Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake in their co-headlining Legends of the Summer Tour. If Jay-Z gets any more famous he'd probably have his own brand of cereal and dishware to go with it. Even with a new baby in the house, Mr. Carter is obviously more than ready to hit the road with not only an esteemed colleague, but with a brand new album. Since the success of Watch The Throne with little ol’ Kanye West, it feels like it’s time for Jay-Z to go back to some blueprint material and give the people more business, man.

Glassjaw (Playing: Sunday, May 19th)Words by Emma Garland
I don’t think we’re ever gonna get this third full-length album but whatever, Glassjaw already have enough solid material to play back-to-back for an entire afternoon and you wouldn’t get bored once. Also on that note, they always seem to throw a curveball into their setlists whether it’s the lesser-performed 'Ry Ry’s Song' or a cover of 'Woman' by 108, so there’s always a curious sense of unpredictability about their live performances.
ATP! Lists: Six Degrees Of Separation - Bruce Springsteen
With his most recent album, Wrecking Ball, being his 17th, Springsteen has been nothing but prolific over the forty years he has been making music. You're not likely to spot Springsteen hanging with the recently emerging infectious pop act One Direction any time soon, but the two acts, who sit on complete opposite ends of the musical spectrum, have more in common than you would have originally thought...
