We are big fans of the MTV show Awkward. so are thrilled to be announcing the fact that we are going to be guest music supervising an episode of the upcoming season that will air on Tuesday May 7! They will also be featuring lots of songs off of Heartthrob throughout season 3 and we couldn’t be happier to be involved with such a brilliant show.

It was a challenge, but we really liked having the opportunity to help fans of the show discover new bands that we love! Besides our own song I Was A Fool, here are the songs we chose to feature…

The Courtneys, “90210″
Diana, “Perpetual Surrender”
Sucre, “Say Something”
Ok Sweetheart, “All We Have”

You can see us talk more about the process in an interview posted at buzzworthy.mtv.com.

Make sure to tune in to watch next Tuesday, and follow along as we take over the @MTV twitter account starting just before the show airs at 10pm EST and live tweet throughout the show, including answering some of your questions!

We are thrilled to announce our newest video for the song I Was A Fool!

We chose Shane Drake, who directed Paramore’s Decode video and Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger video, to bring our vision to life. He is a wonderful director, with a history of making emotionally intense and beautiful videos! He doesn’t disappoint with I Was A Fool!

The video is a simple look at one person’s journey through the emotions of a break up. We’ve all slalomed through the mass of conflicting feelings post break up before, and with this video we hoped to capture some of the contrasts between resolution and regret that we all experience when we lose love.

Mae Whitman (Parenthood, Perks of Being A Wallflower) plays the lead in the video and does a fantastic job reflecting these conflicts throughout her performance in the video. We were thrilled to work with Mae (and not have to act ourselves) and can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and the video!

Enjoy!

Hello!

The response we have had for Closer has been overwhelmingly positive and we are just thrilled with how it’s been received so far! We keep getting calls and emails from our friends, family and fans about the excitement of hearing Closer everywhere they go. You can get it on iTunes here.

Another track that has also been a clear favourite is I Was A Fool. We were so inspired by all the possibilities for videos for this track!

We are excited to announce that we are going to be rolling videos out over the next couple weeks, starting today with another lyric video from Travis Hopkins! We even make an appearance in this one!
