Last week, OurStage favorite, V Factory debuted the music video for their single, “Love Struck” and we have a sneak peek right here. Check out the scoop from our partner site, AOL Music to get a behind-the-scenes perspective on the slaughterhouse backdrop, not to mention those hot dance moves.
V Factory introduced “Love Struck” to the OurStage community last fall and it soon became a favorite on the Pop Channel, garnering both positive reviews and comments from fans. OurStage member Johnny J.Trevino wrote “WOW!!! I love the sound. Got a little Timbaland feel in there. Love It!!!” while OurStage staffer Chris Sita added, “You guys sound pretty tight. I can see boy bands coming back into fashion.”
Of course, it was only a matter of time before V Factory’s OurStage success spread to an even larger music community. The band is quickly moving up the radio charts and you can see their cute, talented faces on MTV, FOX Los Angeles and Radio Disney. Join their OurStage fanclub to stay tuned for more exciting news from V Factory as they get ready to launch their debut, self-titled album.
There are so many music videos out there these days that it has become a real challenge to come up with something original. No matter how great the director and how great the song, there are only so many styles, so many angles to take, and so many effects to edit in later. All this can leave a band asking, “How can we create something unique and interesting to visually accompany our song?”
Their video for the song “Hail Mary” has been doing well in the Pop Music Video channel all month. It isn’t your average video; they call it a VideoSong. It’s not quite a “live performance,” though it is made up of elements that are entirely recorded live. According to the video’s description:
A VideoSong is a new Medium with two rules: 1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice). 2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
The band is comprised of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn and is based in Corte Madera, California. Both are multi-instrumentalists who enjoy making music on their own and have come together to form Pomplamoose, which is a creative misspelling of pamplemousse, the French word for grapefruit. Whether there’s meaning behind that or not, it doesn’t really matter. The name is an appropriate title for a fun band with fun music and videos.
Those of you familiar with OurStage have probably already heard a lot about Christofer Drew of NeverShoutNever!. He’s the kid making waves all across the pop circuit (even landing on TRL before it shut down) all without a label.
The kid has worked hard to keep everything independent, including the music video shoot for his hit single, “BigCityDreams.” We were invited to come along for the shoot in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Watch the video above to see how it all went down. And find out more about NeverShoutNever! by clicking here!

Check out the new video for “Don’t Trust Me” from 3OH!3, a hip-hop and electronica duo from Boulder, CO. Named for the area code in Boulder (303), Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte met in class at UofColorado, and after playing shows with established bands the buzz began to grow. Boy did it grow… 3OH!3 absolutely exploded on the internet, where their music gets over 100,000 plays per day. We’ve got exclusive behind the scenes footage from the shoot after the jump.
