The band which has been around since 2004 has ha their music appear on television shows such as Gossip Girl. Heartsrevolution even has a repurposed ice cream van that they used to sell merchandise and popcicles from prior to concert gig’s.

Shawn Mendes – Aftertaste

Shawn Mendes is one of my favorite new artists and has a great story of discovery. He was found in 2013 after amassing a following on Vine and catching the attention of record executives. I love when a talented artist like this get noticed because usually they are extremely musically talented in comparison with a lot of other mass marketed artists. He definitely is one to check out and watch as his musical career continues to develop.
