Yellowcard- “Fix You” (Bonus Track)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Yellowcard’s new album “Southern Air” just dropped today and features a great cover of Coldplay’s emotional track “Fix You.” The cover serves as the iTunes bonus track, but in my opinion is one of the standout singles on the album.

Eric Turner vs. Avicii- Dancing In My Head (Avicii’s Been Cursed Mix)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
We got lucky enough to get an early release of Avicii’s massive new tune that has Eric Turner singing on it. “Dancing In My Head” stays true to Avicii’s original progressive-electro house sound and features some radio friendly vocals by Eric Turner.
