 One Direction, the sensational Euro-Irish pop music group released a new single this week. Entitled “Live While We’re Young,” the video presents a tongue-and-cheek homage to famous boy bands of the past who loved to frolic in the fun of youth. Take a look at the video below:

After a seemingly endless world tour and production of a Broadway musical based on their masterpiece American Idiot, musical rock band Green Day will release their first of three newly studio recorded albums next week. The album, entitled Uno will be released on Tuesday September 25th. If the music is anything like the first single “Oh, Love” the album promises to be more of a return to their punk rock roots rather than the musically lush songs found on American Idiot and their previous studio album 21st Century Breakdown (released in 2009). Dos, the second album of the series, releases on November 13th while Tre, the third in the series streets on January 15th, 2013. All three of the albums will be released through Reprise records. Take a look at the video for “Oh, Love” below:
