Tapulous

If you’re a Tap Tap party-person, you are truly living in a golden age. Right this second, you can plug a 1/8th-inch line into your iPhone/Touch, launch Tap Tap Revenge, and literally throw down the sickest dance party while you rock your way to the top of the standings. Can the floorboards survive your Taptastic house-party mega-mix? Let’s see…You can warm it up with some Lady Gaga to get the crowd, roll that into some Jason Derulo, and follow up with that Mike Posner joint. Then kick it back in high with Ke$ha and Flo Rida, and keep it going with Taio Cruz and a little T.I. YIKES, I wanna go to this party!

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are slipping you the secret weapon. There will come a point when the party reaches its crescendo and achieves full throw-down status, when the crowd will stand with baited breath, waiting to see if you blow the off the mother, or turn into DJ Trainwreck. And that’s the exact moment you drop “EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR” by CASCADA. The place will go nuts, guaranteed.

The titular track from Cascada’s third studio album, “Evacuate the Dancefloor” is nothing short of a global phenomenon. It has topped charts all around the world, and helped this German eurodance group sell over 14 million copies of their three records. Formed in 2004 by singer Natalie Horler along with DJ’s Manian and Yanou, Cascada is not resting on their success. They have just released the blazing hot “Pyromania,” another block-rocking jam that is part of the brand-new CASCADA PREMIUM TRACK-PACK, along with “Evacuate the Dancefloor.”

So if you’re ready to get this party started right, and get it started quickly, then you know what to do: Get yourself some Cascada, and get it on!

Alright Tap Tap fans, it’s a fresh new week, which means we’ve got another fresh new FREE featured track to bend your fingers and blow your mind. We’ve traveled right up to the cutting-edge to grab SUPERBAD (11:34) by Travie McCoy, and we’re absolutely certain you’re going to dig it.

How’s your summer going? Because no matter how good, chances are it’s not quite up to par with Travie’s. He’s decided to take a break from kicking butt as the lead singer of the Gym Class Heroes to release his own solo joint, and evidently he knows exactly what he’s doing. To prove that point, we give you SUPERBAD (11:34), a song so wildly original and sonically unique they’re having to invent new genres just to classify it, like emo-hop and trip-rock.

From the immediate hook of the opening delayed guitar line through the stuttering beats and lush choruses, Superbad (11:34) stuns you like a surreal dream, taking you on an epic aural journey into your own mind. It’s as if Robert Smith from the Cure’s son grew up listening to Linkin Park and A Tribe Called Quest, became a superhero, and recorded his own theme song.

You’ve gotta be loving Travie McCoy RIGHT NOW!  I mean c’mon, the guy changes names more often than most people change socks, from Travis to Shleprok and now Travie. In honor of his position as featured artist of the week, we are now officially Tap Tap Rebango.

In fact, we’re so psyched on him that we’re adding a Travie McCoy premium 2-pack to the Tap Tap Store, featuring “Need You” and the red-hot “Billionaire,” the song that’s launched a million YouTube tributes. Download it today, and enjoy the summer of Travie.

We always thought they were out there. Waiting silently, biding their time, exercising their fingers for the moment they knew would one day come. And on that fateful Thursday, when we announced our partnership with Metal Blade Records, the mighty Tap Tap Metal Mob bum-rushed their touchscreens with a fury and ferocity that we had hardly anticipated. To appease these maniacal masters of the Extreme tracks, we are excited to have 2 brand-new songs from Metal Blade for this week’s free featured downloads!

For 25 years, GWAR has been Earth’s only openly extraterrestrial band, as well its sickest, most destructive, and most apocalyptic. Behold their brain-splattering new track “Let Us Slay” from the new album Lust In Space. It rocks SO hard, we may have put our entire species in jeopardy by unleashing it in Tap Tap Revenge. When it comes to all-out mutant metal, remember: GWAR did it first, and GWAR does it best. www.gwar.net

As I Lay Dying have allowed us to give out their brand-new song “Beyond Our Suffering” from the eagerly-anticipated album The Powerless Rise, out on May 11th. Do you think you can handle tapping to it? From the psychotic, snake-charming guitar line to the drum beats that hit you like a heart attack, the full frontal scream of AILD proves that modern metal is only getting better. By delivering their music with a power and urgency that has put them at the top of the metalcore scene, As I Lay Dying has become one of today’s most buzzed-about bands. www.asilaydying.com

Head to iTunes for these new releases from GWAR and AS I LAY DYING on Metal Blade Records, your source for all of today’s best metal. Tap over to www.metalblade.com to see their amazing roster of talent.

Plus check out the Metal Blade premium-bundle in the Tap Tap Store today, stuffed with a wild sample of 6 extreme tracks. Fire extinguisher for your fingers sold separately!

Here at Tapulous, we know what you need. We know that you have a huge hole in your soul, that can only be filled by that one, simple thing: A MASSIVE SUMMER JAM! And luckily, our Tap Tap operatives over in the UK have tipped us off to a sure-thing candidate: Tinie Tempah’s Pass Out!

Straight outta South London, Tinie Tempah has spent his 21 years honing his musical craft, building superior beats and rhymes, and steadily rising to the top of the British music scene. Savvy to fact that it’s not about radio anymore, Tinie built his legions of fans using the new standard: video game soundtracks, YouTube videos, and organically distributed mixtapes. His raw talent and fresh voice attracted followers in droves, skyrocketing his MySpace plays and YouTube views into the millions.

All this independent success naturally drew the attention of Parlophone Records, who released his first commercial single Pass Out to immediate fan hysteria, rocketing it to a #1 debut on the UK charts. But just because he’s on a major label, Tinie has not abandoned his roots. He’s broken grime out of the underground to a mass audience, blending the fiercest elements of garage, dancehall, and drums-and-bass into a crushing, uncompromising mix. Plus, did I hear him name drop Heidi and Audrina from the Hills? Word.

Check out the riotous beats, cunning wordplay, and elegant grime of Pass Out for FREE in Tap Tap Revenge right now! And be sure to head over to tinietempah.com for news and tour dates, including the V Festival this summer!

The Band: Neon Trees

The Jam: Animal from the album “Habits”

There is nothing more beautiful than belief. And there is nothing more exciting and rewarding than to join in that belief. So this week, let’s all believe in Neon Trees, and elevate our joyous selves with their self-described brand of Post Punk Soul. When you watch the videos and hear the music, you find a band that believes they have written one of the most infectious pop songs of the decade, and we agree that they just might have done it.

Animal rocks in all the right places, and grabs you with its undeniable hooks. For this four piece from Provo Utah, it all seems so perfectly, pop-fully natural, you can’t help but join in the rock and roll celebration. It’s no wonder they’ve been tapped to open for bands such as The Killers, 30 Seconds To Mars, Muse, and others: They deliver the goods.

Play the pop-punk perfection of Animal from Neon Trees now for Tap Tap Revenge 3, Tap Tap Revenge 2, and Tap Tap Radiation. Once finished, head over to fameisdead.com and check out the killer Animal video, tour dates, and tons more!

The Neon Trees Contest

Our initial idea for the contest was: First person to send in a picture of himself/herself with the same haircut as the lead singer of Neon Trees wins. But some of you are so photoshop savvy, we were afraid we might get duped. Plus Ed already cut his hair and employees can’t win the contest.

Now it’s time to get tapping like an animal in the Neon Trees Contest, for a chance to win a portable music player! In addition, the big winner and five runners-up will get a glow-in-the-dark poster, and a copy of the Neon Trees album “Habits” on CD.

How to Win:

Download and play Animal by Neon Trees in Tap Tap Revenge 3. Each score you submit above 100,000 points gets you one entry into the contest. You can play on any difficulty you want, just make sure your score is above 100,000 points! At the end of the contest, we’ll throw all the entries into the giant Tapulous contest hat and draw the winners.

Contest begins on Friday, April 16th at 12:01 AM PST and runs until Sunday, April 18th at 11:59PM PST. Scores must be submitted in Tap Tap Revenge 3, while online, during the contest period, for entry.

So get tappin’!
