If the love child of Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and Pink were to crash the Warped Tour during a One Republic and Blindside tribute to Michael Jackson, it might be close to the vibe you’d get when X-Factor Season 1 contestant, Tora, takes the stage. Check out her latest single "Higher".

“That’ll Be The Day” is the latest tune from Jerry Naylor to hit Rock Band and is a re-recording of a 1957 classic originally written by Buddy Holly. This new version is souped up for Rock Band but stays true to the original which was rated one of the top 40 songs of all time by Rolling Stone magazine!

So, twin atlantic just finished off touring, and I know Offbeat got two twin atlantic songs on the network last year. Is there any chance you'd bring songs from their new album to the network?

Munnchy - I would love some more TA! I passed your request (and our own) over to the label. Let's see what they say.
