Plus Icon For Hire on Warped, Ariel’s R-E-L, Lecrae’s insane CrossFit jump rope videos, and Red’s in a cagematch…

Emery has given another taste of their new music from the forthcoming album You Were Never Alone. This followup to the music video for “Hard Times” is a lyric video for “Thrash”, and the sound lives up to the name.

Icon For Hire has a huge summer planned: they’ll be on every date of the 2015 Warped tour. If you need something now though, Ariel has been posting more episodes of her REL show on Youtube.

Lecrae is going strong on his Anomaly Tour, as one can see from his insane CrossFit jump rope videos. He is about to start the European leg of the tour with eight shows over there, then back to the U.S. where will begin the festival circuit, playing all the top fests for the rest of the summer.

ForthDistrict.com interviewed Playdough as one of their top five artists to watch this year. The interview is an hour-long conversation of the past, present and future of Playdough.

Red needs your help to win their Cage Match. Louder.com has put Red and their song “The Darkest Part” up against another band’s music and asked fans to vote for the better band, which is Red (of course).
