The title might not seem promising but if you liked Anna Sun you should find this just as good!

I forgot that I made a topic for this! Deserves at least one reply so I might as well add the v fun and awesome video.

Oh I love this song! Had it on repeat a while ago. I remember I didn't like their other singles at all, though sad.gif

Posted by: Dobbo 11th January 2015, 09:20 PM

Tacky and irritating...

Posted by: Rob S 11th January 2015, 09:35 PM

yeah I'm not a big fan of this sadly. I've tried getting into it but for some reason it's leaves me with a huge meh reaction sad.gif

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 11th January 2015, 10:11 PM

You guys are no fun sad.gif

Clearly we haven't had enough of the good people from BJSC in this topic to gush about how wonderful this TUNE is.

THIS IS AMAZING

Has balance been restored yet? unsure.gif

Posted by: SevenSeize 11th January 2015, 10:56 PM

*tips the balance in favour of 'this is pretty awesome and loads of fun'* music.gif

excuse me this track is FLAWLESS

Posted by: Chez Wombat 12th January 2015, 01:23 AM

Is this actually gonna get a UK release? I'd love if it did become a small hit, it doesn't sound a million miles away from a pop-rock crossover kinda hit.

Still not as good as Anna Sun (#bitter) but it's pretty awesome.

Posted by: Rob S 12th January 2015, 01:29 AM

Ok It might just be a matter of listening to it some more. Just gave it another listen and it sounds good. Could be a grower.

Posted by: gooddelta 12th January 2015, 09:52 AM

Hope this smashes. The video is just as irresistible as the song, so knowingly geeky.

In what way is this track Indie, Rock or Alternative?

You've apparently not noticed, but Walk the Moon is a rock band.

Also, Shut Up and Dance has charted on Billboard's Alternative & Rock Songs charts.

That's what I mean. This is pop. Nearly everything in this Buzzjack forum is pop - or has the definition of Alternative / Rock changed to "people who write their own songs"?

This is ridiculously catchy!

omg I can't believe I EVER said that! I LOVE this band, I've had ALL their songs on repeat for at least a month now wub.gif

Posted by: Rob.S 15th April 2015, 05:05 PM

So this has grown on me a lot now, helps a lot that R1 made it their TOTD today! Would be nice to bring something different to the charts in May as well!

Posted by: ErnieJackson 16th April 2015, 12:20 PM

It sounds like a 'fuzzed up' Glee track to me. Great!...........if you like that sort of thing?? dry.gif

That was highly offensive, tbh mad.gif

I have just discovered that the lead singer of this band was the vocalist on Madeon's 'Finale' ohmy.gif Don't think I'd have ever made that connection.

(This song is quite good x)

Posted by: Rob S 22nd April 2015, 05:01 PM

B listed on radio 2 today. I have a strong feeling radio 1 will also support this too especially when it was TOTD last week...

Posted by: Ethan 22nd April 2015, 07:02 PM

Such a novelty song~

Posted by: Hadji 2nd May 2015, 04:20 AM

The release date has been pushed back a week to 31st May. On the plus side, you can now stream the song on spotify

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 6th May 2015, 05:43 PM

It didn't know there was a topic for this track omg ohmy.gif

Walk The Moon supported All Time Low and You Me At Six on their co-headline tour in February and they played it and I instantly became obsessed with it after seeing them live, I can see it getting played on Radio 1 a lot, given that they tend to play ATL sometimes wub.gif

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 6th May 2015, 06:39 PM

They're amazing live. Nick has SO much energy wub.gif

Posted by: Rob S~ 13th May 2015, 04:15 PM

Officially playlisted by Radio 1 for next week smile.gif I can now see it become a big top 10 hit which is great news biggrin.gif

Posted by: Hadji 13th May 2015, 10:57 PM

It just needs to be playlisted by capital and then it will definitely have top 10 written all over it

Posted by: Mart!n 14th May 2015, 10:27 AM

This is the band I used for UP contest in 2012 with Anna Sun and practically introduced the band on the site, shame Anna Sun peaked at #16 in the contest, its a damn catchy track, till someone used the same track on BJSC laugh.gif

Anyhow the track is really good and has been in my personal chart at the beginning of the year after Gooddelta introduced me to the track in BJSC, its taken them a long time to release a track this side of the Atlantic so I hope it does well for them, its very catchy, and for some reason, its got elements of Move Like Jagger to it, so I hope it does not get stuck at #2 for 4 to 6 weeks laugh.gif I love it to bits I can't really fault the track, but its not Anna Sun.

Release date has been changed again to 7th June mad.gif

Mines two days before, but they need to stop changing it

On second thought, you can buy the song now on UK Amazon if you don't want to wait for it on UK iTunes
