TW review information about their extended version of BATTLEGROUND!
The group have explained that they are recording extra tracks to include on a repackaged version of the album which they hope to release next year. Jay reckons that the band still have “a load of good songs” left over from their previous writing sessions and they just don’t want to waste them. One of these tracks is ‘Chasing The Sun’, a song they worked on with Example. The band have given it their seal of approval already, according to Jay, “Tom has it on his iPod and it’s now become his most played song on there! We’re hopefully going to record the track this week. It’s actually similar in some ways to ‘Glad You Came’. It won’t be out before Christmas because people don’t want to be raving when it’s p*ssing with snow.” Excellent point!
But considerate Jay is thinking about our pennies, he says they band are “conscious that we don’t rip off people because they’ll just get fed up and stop listening to us.”
So, hopefully the boys will be releasing the extended version of Battleground next year, will you be buying it?

Yeah, I'm new!
Hi everyone,
I'd like to introduce myself as being the new blog co-owner Jay (@DJay95), some of you may have saw or heard me around while some of you are probably wondering who I am?
Well, I'm not an intruder and after a vigorous application I was lucky enough to be picked out of a lot of people to help out with one of the biggest TW sites ever! So here's a few bullet pointers about me (not in a shallow way!):
- I'm 16 years old and I'm one of those rare straight male TW fans!
- I discovered TW in the early stages of their career when they were doing school tours and I was helping to promote them. I instantly fell in love with 'All Time Low' as it was something different to what I had heard as a debut single before.
- I'm a big TW fan and I'm lucky enough to be seeing them on their first arena tour next year with my best mate @lauralovessykes! I've also met them once at a book signing on my nan's birthday, which was a great day for both reasons!
- My favourite song by them is a tricky one to answer, but I'd say it is either 'Say It On The Radio' or 'Rocket'.
- My favourite member is Jay, not only cause he has the same name as me, but because he is as clumsy as me and he's rather hilarious!
So now you know a bit more about me than you did before! I'm here to bring you the latest TW news as soon as it happens and I'm 100% committed to that! If you fancy saying "hello", want a chat (Be warned I can talk for England!) or if you have anything you might think is EPIC TW shizz and deserves to be on the blog, drop me a tweet @DJay95, and as TW say "I'll be your strength" well maybe not as dramatic, but I'll be there to reply! Stay tuned as there is lot's of things coming soon but for now thanks for having me onboard!
Jay

The Wanted Reveal Secrets Of New Album 'Battleground' to Capital!
Recently TW revealed some information about their Brand new album, Battleground, to Capital, Here it is:
'Glad You Came'
Jay: "At the end of the 'Glad You Came' video, we were all meant to jump into the sea...including the extras. But one of the girls chickened out and refused to jump".
'Lightning'
Max: "When we filmed the video for 'Lightning' it was genuinely scary. There were rattlesnakes and tarantulas everywhere so we had to constantly watch out for them".
'Warzone'
Nathan: "In the video I'm supposed to make it look like I'm having a fight with this massive guy after an argument. The director called me in and said I had to improvise a fight with him. Now I'm not exactly the biggest guy in the band...I pushed this guy and he pushed me back and I went flying backwards through some doors. It was so slapstick!"
'Invincible'
Nathan: "This track is like a party - it's a great song to listen to before you go out. I think it's our strongest ballad. It's beautiful".
'Rocket'
Jay: "It was written by Diane Warren, one of the biggest songwriters ever, whose name has been on over a billion records sold. She wrote tracks like 'How Do I Live' and 'Don't Break My Heart'."
'The Weekend'
Tom: "I actually produced a bit of this track. I only started producing recently - it's been really good fun."
'Lie To Me'
Tom: "The song's about being in a relationship with a girl who's lying to you, but you're just not ready to see or accept the truth".
'Gold Forever'
Jay: "We filmed the video for 'Gold Forever' on the set of the film The King's Speech".

First news interview with The Wanted: On Traveling, Justin Bieber and the Warzone video!
How was the Justin Bieber tour?
Tom: It was so good.
Nathan: It was such a shame that we could only do the dates in Brazil, because he asked us to do the whole South America tour. The first night we went on stage in Brazil they were having tropical storms.
Max: As we were walking up to the stage we looked up at this black sky and saw lightning striking down. They weren’t sure if we’d be able to go on, as the lights at the front had already been knocked out by
the lightning.
Siva: There’s a picture of us and all the big stadium lights, then there is a massive streak of lightning going right down to the ground. It’s the best picture I’ve ever seen of us. And that’s where the song Lightning came from. Ha ha, it wasn’t really!
Tell us a little bit about the new album.
Tom: Have you heard it? It’s very different. The next single is called Warzone. We’re like Rihanna, churning those singles out.
Max: I think out of the 11 tracks, we wrote seven. And then there are an extra four tracks on the deluxe version of the album and we wrote all of those.
How have you changed since the first album?
Jay: For the first album we had a lot of input. This time we have a new record label who are great. It’s not a case of just inputting our ideas anymore, we have a lot of say in all the tracks and if they need to be remixed or re-recorded. We’re really creatively satisfied now and think we’re better writers. Our next single, Max and Nathan wrote. I wish I’d written it. I think we’ve all improved a lot.
Max: I remember being on the phone to my girlfriend Michelle when we were writing the song, and I remember having the conversation with her about it. It’s exciting that it’s the next single.
You seem really excited about everything at the moment!
Nathan: We are. This album is really exciting for us.
Jay: The new video was a lot of fun to shoot as well, and we’re doing a bit of acting in it. There’s probably not going to be an Oscar in the post, but it was really fun.
Nathan: I had to have a fight with this guy. The first time we just improvised so we could work out where we all needed to be and which angle the shot was to be filmed from. I had to square up to this guy who was a basketball player and about 6ft. He pushes me and I fly backwards out of the door I just walked through. We weren’t even filming at that point!
Siva: It was so funny.
Nathan: It’s going be a wicked video. We set fire to a grand piano in it. And a car.
How much say do you have in your videos?
Max: We always come up with the general idea for what want to do. With Lightning we kind of did it on the day because it was so last minute. For Glad You Came, the video was so different. In the original treatment we were given we were all throwing cupcakes and jelly. And we were like, what is this?
Nathan: It was shocking. We sat in this meeting and were like no, let’s go to Ibiza and have a party. Warzone is very different, it’s an angry video. It’s an angry song, though, if I’m honest.
As well as recording the album, you’ve been travelling a lot too.
Tom: It has literally been The Wanted’s
tour of the world. We have been everywhere. Australia, Singapore, Madrid, Brazil. Our passports are full of stamps.
Jay: And visas. Getting a visa is really
nerve-wracking.
Nathan: It’s terrifying. They interrogate you.
Jay: We were there getting our visa and Gerard Butler was there too. We didn’t talk to him. We were scared, he’s about 8ft2!
Where is the best place you’ve been so far this year?
Jay: I loved New York, Madrid and Australia.
Tom: The first night in Australia was amazing, the second was the worst I have ever had. We had an hour’s sleep and a full day of interviews. I just wanted someone to put me to bed. Jet lag messes you up!
Siva: We tried to stay up to beat it but it didn’t work and we felt awful.
Jay: Max wanted to organise a shark-diving trip in Australia.
Max: We were on the wrong side of
Australia though, although the day we
got there someone got eaten by a great white. So it was lucky really. We would have been shark bait!

TW Interview with US Vevo!
From L to R: Jay, Tom, Max, Siva, Nathan
Max, Jay, Siva, Nathan and Tom sat down with us to vevo about hot ladies, lizard poo and beloved breakfast foods. Between a lot of palling around, goofing off and hamming it up, here’s what the guys had to say about all sorts of silly things.
The grossest thing that happened when they lived together in a flat:Max: Jay’s got a lizard, and I came in a bit drunk one night from a night out—
Jay: She’s normally very, very house tamed, so she knows where to poo—
Max: Very much. He’s three and a half feet long, so anything that’s three and a half foot long’s gonna have a big ol’ dump of some proportion. And I came in, stumbled through the door, and she’s obviously laid a shit right behind the door, and as I open it, it just swipes it across the floor in like, a perfect quarter pie.
Siva: A poo rainbow!
Max: Oh god, it stunk!
The one thing that reminds them of home while traveling:
Siva: Irish pubs
.Max: Mine would be my boxers, since I think I’ve had them on since I left. [laughs] These were bright white, but now they’re sort of chewing gum grey! They smell alright…I had them on backwards for the first four days, inside out, then the other way around.
Nathan: So this is technically only day two.
Max: These socks are actually a pair of gloves [band laughs].
Jay: He’s got funny toes!
Tom: You know what you don’t have, you don’t have baked beans!
Jay: What!
Siva: That’s crazy.
Jay: You’re seriously missing out.
Nathan: [If we were on the road in the US] I’d bring beans.
Tom: Definitely.
Max: We’d put it on our rider, beans.
Nathan: No no no no, I’d bring them from the UK.
Max: They’re quite heavy, thought.
Nathan: I don’t, I don’t care.
VEVO: You know you can’t go somewhere for breakfast and order baked beans…
Tom: Baked beans on toast?
Jay: Now this is a headfuck! You’re like “Eggs, hash browns, beans… no beans. Baked beans…”
Max: Katy Perry came over to England and she just doesn’t stop eating them now.
Jay: You know what they kind of taste like, you have something called…what’s the round things…
Max: Spaghetti hoops?
Jay: No, um..the things, hoops, hoopie-o’s? Spaghetti O’s — just imagine beans in that can.
On their American celebrity crushes:
Tom: Mila Kunis!
Jay: Ahh!
Siva: Jessica Alba, definitely.
Nathan: Megan Fox — in the old days, though.
Max: I’ve always had a crush on Pamela Anderson.
Jay: She looks a little…haggy now. But she’s still pretty. I like Nicole Scherzinger, but I’d rather Mila Kunis.
