I just had to, I mean- why wouldn’t I? It’s Tuesday but I say, I don’t give a damn about a hater. Meet Karmin, a cover-band out of Boston featuring Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan- the two met at Berklee School of Music and have gone on to become overnight sensations from this video, which has [...]

Grab your pup and go sidewalk surfing with me. No animals were harmed in the making of this video. Don’t harm animals, dummy.
