"That's Not My Name" is the second single by British dance-pop duo The Ting Tings from their debut studio album We Started Nothing. The song was originally released as a double A-side with "Great DJ" by independent record label Switchflicker on May 28, 2007. After heavy promotion and support from BBC Radio 1 and the NME, the single was re-released individually on May 12, 2008 on Columbia Records.
"That's Not My Name" went to number one in the UK Singles Chart on May 18, 2008, seeing off competition from well-established acts like Rihanna, Madonna and will.i.am. The following week, however, the single was replaced by Rihanna's single "Take a Bow" at number one. The single received favourable reviews from critics upon re-release, with the NME describing it as "no-flab electro-pop nugget", while Q Magazine described it as "a snatch of Hey Mickey-style handclaps and a gobbily staccato vocal, stitched together to fashion a groove that’s as instant and familiar".
Digital Spy compared the single to a "well-shaken can of cola", and added "[the track is] brimming with sticky, yummy, fizzy goodness". The song has two music videos. The first features Jules and Katie (the band members) on a white background performing the song on a set, with interferring scenes of Katie with blue and pink backgrounds. This was the video that was used to promote the song and album upon its 2007 release.
This video is visually similar to the video for Toni Basil's Hey Mickey, in keeping with the extensive audio similarities. Columbia produced a 2008 video,with them performing again on a different set, with more equipment and flashing lights in the background. The video was sent to MTV. Another video was made for the acoustic version. All videos are live action.

"Poppin' Champagne" is the third single off the album So Wrong, It's Right by All Time Low. The title has been shorten to "Poppin'" due to the fact that the band members are underage (20) and MTV didn't want to promote underage drinking.
In the video the band members are playing characters that are similar to those of rap music videos. The band has a mock boy band dance scene during the bridge.
The music video was created in New York City in July, 2008. It premiered on August 1st, 2008 on MTV's FNMTV.

Eyes Set to Kill began in 2004 as a three-piece band from Phoenix, AZ, seeking a unique sound that would combine the soft, melodic feel of female vocals and gut-wrenching screaming, backed up by powerful instrumentals with a post-hardcore influence.
Alexia Rodriguez (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Anissa Rodriguez (Bass Guitar), and Lindsey Vogt (Lead Vocals), searched the local area for talented and dedicated musicians to create this sound and aid them in their quest to make a name for themselves amongst the many other talented bands coming out of Arizona.
After struggling to be heard for what seemed an eternity, the girls found their guys in mid-2005. Despite sharing the stage with several signed and unsigned artists, including Chiodos, Bless the Fall, Goodbye Tomorrow, My American Heart, and Greeley Estates, this initial combination was only temporary, and over the next several months, the band continued to undergo changes in their musical lineup.
Finally, in early 2006, three young gentlemen came into the picture to produce the uniquely refreshing, new and improved version of Eyes Set to Kill. Alex Torres, (Guitar), Brandon Anderson (Vocals), and Brett Litzler (Drums) joined the girls without hesitation.

Hailing from Houston- a city known more for its hip-hop alumnus than its rock bands- these self-proclaimed "boys from Texas" have come together from diverse musical backgrounds to form a passionate, driven five piece pop rock band intent on making an indelible impression on the music world.
The band- made up of vocalist Joshua Caddy, guitarists Bryan Shelton and Taylor Peek, bassist Michael Fillewicz, and drummer Brian Smith- started as many bands do, with the internet-aided connection of five like-minded individuals with an unwavering work ethic who lived for music.
After establishing themselves as the premiere headlining band in Houston's rock scene (a rise that included performances at both the Vans Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos in Houston) and self-releasing "The New You" EP, the band caught the eye of Foundation Recordings, a newly formed division of Latium Entertainment looking to make waves in the rock world.
Always looking to take the next step, the band went back into the studio to record two songs with Brian McTernan (Thrice, Circa Survive), and had the mixing duties handled by David Bendeth (Paramore, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus). The standout track "Rock, Shock & Load" has caused a stir on the internet, accompanied by an eye-catching, playful video echoing the often ostentatious Houston rap scene.
