Young The Giant has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting new bands of the decade. They have spent much of the time over the last few years traveling the globe, with sold out headline tours and show-stopping appearances at such festivals as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. A dynamic and distinctive live act, the band also made a range of high profile TV performances, including performances on Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Seth Meyers, MTV Video Music Awards and their own edition of MTV Unplugged. They toured with Kings of Leon in 2014.

Neon Trees' new album Pop Psychology on Mercury/Island is an upbeat collection of sleek, modern alternative pop powered by singer-songwriter Tyler Glenn's bright melodies, huge choruses, and witty lyrics about the challenges of finding love in the digital age.
