Artist Spotlight: Kiss

You wanted the best?! You got the best! Kiss has been playing loud, blood-spitting, fire-breathing rock n roll since 1973. Drawing largely from the theatrics of acts like Alice Cooper, it was Kiss’ live show that helped propel them from local New York City rockers to one of the biggest bands of all time.

Kiss has 24 gold albums and has sold over 19 million records, but are more known for their face paint, elaborate costumes, and huge pyro filled live performances. While huge stage productions, from bands like Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie are commonplace today, KISS was one of the first to make the show a real experience with exploding guitars, elevating drumsets, blood, fire, and any other rock cliché you know. They were also one of the first music groups to mass market, creating KISS dolls, comic books, lunchboxes, movies, and more.

Hip hop artists like Ludacris, Jay-Z, Ace Hood, and others with large cross-market empires might want to thank KISS for this. Even nearly 40 years later, KISS is still going strong, touring and releasing their first album in 11 years earlier this month called Sonic Boom. They remain to be a force in popular culture as well, appearing in The Simpsons, and being referenced by pop rockers Weezer and hip hop artists Slaughterhouse.

Artist Spotlight: Jonas Brothers


They really are named Jonas, they really are brothers, and they really started as a solo act, when Nick Jonas was discovered at age 6, singing in a barbershop. Nick would perform in several Broadway shows before recording his own solo record. When the president of Columbia heard the record, he didn’t like it. But he did like Nick’s voice and the songs he wrote with his brothers. The three were signed.

The trio started touring and opening for artists like Kelly Clarkson, The Backstreet Boys and Jesse McCartney. After releasing two moderately successful studio albums and starring with Miley Cyrus on Hannah Montana, the brothers released their 3rd studio album, A Little Bit Longer. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and all of the singles, “Burnin’ Up”, “LoveBug”, “Tonight”, “Pushing Me Away”, and “A Little Bit Longer”, all charted on iTunes top songs chart.

The Jonases also opened for Avril Lavigne and helped to produce Demi Lovato’s debut album. From the barbershop to one of the biggest pop rock bands, the Jonas Brothers have come a long way. Jump over to Flycell.com now and get your dose of the hunky brothers now.

Katy Perry vs Kate Nash

We want to know your favorite!

Katy Perry:
The first CD Perry released was a Christian gospel record back in 2001. And then she did a 180 – at least lyrically – releasing songs like “Ur So Gay” (which Madonna said was one of her favorite songs in a 2007 radio interview) and “I Kissed A Girl.”

No chance she is just “One of the Boys,” this young American singer, and daughter of a pastor, quickly earned her GED her freshman year of high school so she could pursue her now wildly successful music career.

She mixes retro and flirty and has a knack for recording contagious fun songs like “Hot N Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas” that are available on Flycell.com



The challenger from across the pond…

Kate Nash:


This British songstress has been bringing us upbeat, friendly, relationship-bashing hits for a few years now. First posting her music to MySpace, she was discovered and signed to a record label and put out her first single in February 2007 on vinyl.

After signing on with Fiction Records she released her second single “Foundations” and her first album soon after. Despite mixed reviews it became number 1 in the UK Charts.

Her hit “Foundations” as well as other great songs like “Mouthwash,” “Navy Taxi,” and “Mariella” are available as ringtones on Flycell.com.

Up and Coming Artists

LMFAO
No really, that’s their name. DJ/rappers Redfoo and Sky Blu formed the group in LA two years ago. Their hit “I’m in Miami, Trick” made it to #51 on the Billboard Top 100.
Fun fact: The group’s name comes from an internet convo that Sky Blu had with his grandma.

Chester French
Formed in 2003 at Harvard, these intelligent indie artists named their group after famous sculptor Daniel Chester French. Their new song “She Loves Everybody” is sure to be a huge hit.

Jessie James
Her first single “Wanted” came out in April this year and she is quickly becoming a pop and country favorite on the radio. Jessie also toured with The Jonas Brothers this year.

KSM
Are you “Distracted”? If not you should be. KSM, an all chick band from California, may be the next big thing. So quick, get “Permission to Party” and download some of their soon to be hits at Flycell.com.
