We were intrigued by this unique up-and-comer so we sat down with Colette to ask her a few questions.  Check it out below!

The song you’re most proud of…

“F16″. FrankMusik and I worked really meticulously on every instrument used, so I’m proud of every inflection, articulation and lyric. The rap is fast and the chorus is huge. I like the surprise factor it comes with – my face doesn’t match up with the girth of F16’s sound. I love that. Jaws drop = success.

Best concert you’ve ever been to…

The Cure, when I was 9, and again at Coachella. They lifted my soul for 4 hours straight. I was in heaven, or should I say “something like heaven”. I’ve also been to a gang of WuTang shows and they blow my mind every time. I am not drawn to choreography or new age effects. I love when an artist just articulates who they are, simple and fantastic. Morrissey was brilliant, Suzanne Vega with a guitar on Santa Monica Pier, Shakira standing 5 feet tall in the corner of a huge stage in Vegas by herself shaking her perfectly sculpted bum. Lil Wayne, Kanye West singing “Mama”. A good performance can stop time, and spark those rare occasions when you’re completely in the moment, that’s what I like to call “Primo” and it’s what I strive for.

Your favorite thing to do on a rainy day is…

Eat ice cream! Mint Chip, on the beach, listening to Talking Heads. I also used to love playing tennis in the rain, although it can be slippery and dangerous, it’s way worth it.

The album you’ve got on repeat…

Mine

What movie could you watch a thousand times?

“Austin Powers Gold Member”, and I have! Also, classics like “The Godfather”, “Pulp Fiction” and “Scarface”. Will Farrell movies and current classics like “The Hangover”.

Favorite article of clothing….

Converse Chuck Taylors – classic, steezy and comfortable.

What TV shows can you not stand to miss?

I love “United States of Tara”, but they are canceling it! ! ! So I am heartbroken. I love “Modern Family”, “Seinfeld” and “Friends”. What ever happened to “Boardwalk Empire”? I was really into it.

Celeb crushes?

Mila Kunis. Although my mixtape “Sex Sells Stay Tooned” clearly screams “Justin Bieber”!

Whose style do you love?

People who aren’t trying to be anything they are not – They embrace themselves and constantly thrive to be better. I love that.

One thing you can’t live without?

Unfortunately the honest answer would be my cell phone. Luckily Family, Cell, and my dog Pacino are my life. I can’t live without my yogurt soup either #StrangeTruth.

Best/worst rumor you’ve heard about yourself…

Worst rumor was in Star Magazine. I think gossip is silly and rumors are stupid. They aren’t really a part of my world – I don’t hear or see them, it’s not even intentional. I’m just immune to it all, like an ongoing unpleasant scent or a barking dog; I am unphased and uninterested.

Craziest thing you’ve ever done to impress a guy/girl…

Jumped a fence barefoot and chased after his car on harsh asphalt to apologize after I hurt his feelings. He never stopped, kept driving, so I grabbed some shoes, hopped in the car and beat him to his own apartment, (which involved breaking numerous driving laws). It impressed him, so he forgave me. (laughing)

What are you most excited for this year?

My music! I can’t wait for my album to come out, to make more music videos, to see where these songs take me! I am excited to inspire people especially kids, to positively influence on this crazy underdog journey to the top!

Dirty Work,

All Time Low are preparing to headline the “Gimme Summer Ya Love” tour with support from The Starting Line, Mayday Parade, The Cab, We Are The In Crowd and more.  The tour will kick off July 28th in Richmond, VA with stops in Canada and the US finishing in Niagara Falls, NY on August 28th.  Most importantly, pick up your copy of Dirty Work on iTunes now!

We can’t get enough of these guys, so we were stoked when we had the chance to catch up with lead singer Alex Gaskarth about some of his favorite things.  We love how honest he was with his answers…and that he has smooth skin!  Check it out below.

The song you’re most proud of?

Such a tough question to answer– I’m proud of almost every song we’ve ever put out because they’re a recollection of a time, a place, and a state of mind that we were in when we wrote the song. That being said, there are some songs we’re just not proud of writing. We’ll sit back and wonder, “what the hell were we thinking?” But I guess in the end its a learning process… You’ve gotta make mistakes in order to grow.

I’m gonna simplify this answer and say Dear Maria, Count Me In– It’s the first single we’ve released to ever go gold, and that says something to me. It’s like having children; we love them all, but this one just walked an old lady across the street.

Best concert you’ve ever been to?

To date, my favorite concert was Imogen Heap at the 930 club. She’s soooo immensely talented, and yet so genuine and real. Very admirable and touching live.

Your favorite thing to do on a rainy day is…

Sit at home, drink wine, listen to some good music, and play video games.

The album you’ve got on repeat?

Foo Fighters – Wasting Light

What movie could you watch a thousand times?

Leon, otherwise known as The Professional; It’s a Luc Besson movie, and I’m a huge fan of this one in particular, as well as The 5th Element, which I’ve sort of exhausted at this point.

Fav beauty product in your repertoire?

Nivea for men face lotion. Gotta have smooth skin!

What TV show can you not stand to miss?

I haven’t really been following any series’ as of late, but when Walking Dead was on, I couldn’t get enough; Season 2 is coming up shortly. A new HBO series, Game of Thrones also has me using my DVR a lot. It’s so hard to keep up with TV on tour.

Celeb crush?

Mila Kunis. Can I have her number?

Whose style do you love?

Gwen Stefani– I don’t wear women’s clothes (very often,) but if I did, I’d bite her style for sure.

One thing you can’t live without?

Music.

Best/worst rumor you’ve heard about yourself?

Best rumor I ever heard about myself involved me dating Taylor Swift… Kinda wished it were true.

Craziest thing you’ve ever done to impress a guy/girl?

I’ve lost count of the dumb things I’ve done to impress girls. I’m a showoff.

What are you most excited for this year?

Our new album release, and eventual world domination as a result.

The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to help direct the music videos.

Tunde Adebimpe, the director for the full Nine Types of Light movie, storybooked the music videos together with interviews from local New Yorkers on various topics, including dreams, love, fame and the future. Tunde also directed the music video for Forgotten.

Nine Types of Light, both the album and the movie, are out today!  Snag the album on iTunes and check out the movie in full below.

“It was the easiest video I ever shot because it was us living our lives,” explains Fergie. I love that it’s showing a true perspective of how it can sometimes be lonely on the road away from our loved ones. It also demonstrates the love and connection we have with Japan. Our heart goes out to all of the Japanese people who have been affected by this natural disaster.”

Taboo continues, “It was an amazing moment in time because Japan has always been my favorite place on the planet and it was great to do our video there! God bless the Japanese our love goes out to them.”

What do you guys think?

“I’ve recorded a bunch of songs, and I’m so excited for my fans to hear them. I would say there is definitely a mix of everything on my EP ‘Page One’ from club records to ballads. I really tried to showcase my producing and writing ability, and I think everyone will relate to the songs.”

Tino just wrapped up week one of his promo tour in Chicago and is heading to Cincinnati this week for another round of shows and appearances.  He took some time on the road to record a video message for his fans and share his excitement for the release.

Grab PAGE ONE on iTunes today and look out for Tino’s full-length debut album coming this summer.

We wanted to find out more about this talented (and hilarious) quintet so we sat down with lead singer, Ryan Ogren, to get real.  We couldn’t help but let out an “aww” at his romantic gesture! Ryan, we’ll watch “Step Brothers” with you any time!

The song you’re most proud of?

I love song writing soooo much its tough to pick the one I am most proud of!  I think right now I would say “So Obvious” because it’s the first single of our new record and hopefully it opens the door to new fans of the band!

Your favorite thing to do on a rainy day is…

Sit at my piano and write a love song
