Next Big Things . . . The Ting Tings, Metro Station & Calvin Harris

Rick Rubin just recently took over "THE MAN" position @ Columbia Records.

So Far, I like what he's done with the place . . .

Here's 3 new bands/acts on the label I wish I could have signed:

1) THE TING TINGS!

This band formed, wrote a smash hit single "that's not my name" in less than 2 months - and was snapped up by Columbia quicker than you can say BLING BLING. I LOVVVVE DJing this track. So Much Fun!!!

THE TING TINGS 'THAT'S NOT MY NAME' (download mp3 via zshare)

THE TING TINGS 'THAT'S NOT MY NAME' live @ Glastonbury 07

2) METRO STATION!

METRO STATION are going to be HUGE. They write some of the best pop songs I've heard in years. They have a fresh sound - electro/poppy/dancey/etc . . it's just good stuff. I am so proud to see how far this band has come (all in less than a year!!)
CLICK HERE to watch the METRO STATION 'Kelsey' Video. (world premier of the video!)
Debut Album drops in September! Hell Ya!

3) CALVIN HARRIS!

Calvin Harris is from Scotland, and he is only 23! He reminds me of a more commercial Tom Vek. These songs/videos coming to a dance party near you very soon!
