Hellogoodbye

     Hellogoodbye is a power pop band that was formed in Huntington Beach, California in 2001 by singer Forrest Kline. They are signed to Drive-Thru Records and released their first full-length album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! in 2006, in addition to their previously released EP Hellogoodbye and DVD OMG HGB DVD ROTFL.
     This Huntington Beach quartet is slathered in punk pop sunscreen and Nintendo-era synthesizers. Their name has less to do with the Beatles than with “Saved By the Bell.” Screech said it on the Hawaii episode. They were featured on MTV’s “The Real World” when the reality series located to Austin, Texas. Singer Forrest Kline did the web design for Drive-Thru Records when he was just 16. Now he’s on (not behind) the label. Hellogoodbye is brave enough to incorporate the musical magic of a glockenspiel into their pop-punk (but just sometimes).

Ashlee Simpson

      Ashlee Wentz, professionally known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (born Ashlee Nicole Simpson on October 3, 1984) is an American pop rock singer-songwriter, and occasional actress. Simpson-Wentz, who is the younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson, rose to prominence in mid-2004 through the success of her number-one debut album Autobiography and the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show. Simpson-Wentz received widespread criticism when she used a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live in October 2004. Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance, Simpson-Wentz released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in October 2005. Her third album, Bittersweet World, was released in April 2008.
     Ashlee Simpson performs hard-edged pop rock that has the same kind of sharply crafted teen angst as Avril Lavigne’s music. Don’t expect Ashlee to sound like sister Jessica. The younger Simpson works to distinguish herself from the reality TV queen. Ashlee likes fellow musicians: she dated singer/human porcupine Ryan Cabrera and is currently with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz. During a performance on “Saturday Night Live,” Simpson’s vocal track screwed up, making it obvious that she was lip-syncing. For some reason, the naturally beautiful Ashlee Simpson had her chin, nose and lips surgically altered.
