glad you came

The Wanted have released the tracklisting for their highly anticipated new album, Word of Mouth. It will finally be released on November 4th, 2013 after being pushed back more than once (perfection doesn’t come easy!). The US version varies slightly from the European version in that we get “Glad You Came” (again) instead of “Love Sewn”. Why they did that, I’m not sure, but US fans will be scrambling to grab the other song somehow. You can find the the regular and deluxe tracklisting below.

The group also announced their Word of Mouth World Tour. Tickets are on sale now and if you’re a Wanted World member you can get VIP tickets that include a meet and greet, details and tour dates here. If you don’t see your city, don’t worry just yet, the guys said they will continue to add more cities. Continue Reading

There is a new extended trailer for the E! reality show, The Wanted Life which follows British (and Irish!) boyband, The Wanted. The show will begin airing on June 2nd of this year and will follow these five guys who sure seem to get into a lot of shenanigans. But let’s face it, that’s part of their charm. E! might have made the series a little more dramatic, but that won’t stop most of us from watching it! Also, be sure to listen to their new single, “Walks Like Rihanna” here.

Finally! Fearless Records has announced the details of the fifth installment of the Punk Goes Pop series which is set to be released on November 6th.
