Wallpaper. is ready to ignite the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” stage on February 29, as leader Ricky Reed and band will make their late night television debut. The rambunctious triple-drumming, genre-bending, sweat-inducing Wallpaper. will perform his newest single, “F***ING BEST SONG EVERRR,” just as that track is beginning to infiltrate Rhythmic and Top 40 Radio nationwide.

Just this past week, Wallpaper. has been added to the annual Coachella Festival line-up on both Fridays, April 13 and April 20, with the Black Keys, Swedish House Mafia and Pulp slated to headline those nights.
Wallpaper. exploded onto the scene with the thumpin’ #STUPiDFACEDD EP (Boardwalk Records/Hype Music) which spawned the debut title track and a catch-phrase along the way. That song permeated radio stations nationwide as well as MTV, ranging from “Jersey Shore” to “Real World,” not to mention steady rotation of the video across MTV channels. And soon enough, that rattlin’ bass caught the attention of Epic Records, who partnered with Boardwalk Records and added Wallpaper. to its roster.
Meanwhile, the party-inducing and swaggerful Wallpaper. has earned an mtvU “Woodie Award” nomination in the “Breaking Woodie” category, and will perform at the 2012 mtvU “Woodie Awards Festival” on March 15 during SXSW Music Festival. Wallpaper. will perform with three additional nominees in that category: fun., A$AP Rocky and WALK THE MOON. Additional SXSW shows will be announced soon. Stand back, as Reed and company will showcase exactly what Wallpaper. represents: a good time.
