Who's excited!

There's a lot of information floating around about R5's new EP set for release on Tuesday, February 19th. Some information is causing some confusion amongst fans. Here's the information known for now about the upcoming EP release, hopefully this will alleviate the confusion.

Laminates: To Get One Or To Not Get One

Laminates are available for purchase on R5's official web store for $10 each. The laminates are a limited edition collector's item. By purchasing those laminates, it also pre-orders you a copy of the EP. On the back of the laminate is a code which you can redeem on this website to download a digital copy of the Loud EP. So for $10, you get a collector's laminate plus a copy of the EP, pretty sweet deal.

If you do not purchase the laminate, that does not mean you are unable to purchase the EP. The EP, for now, will only be available for digital download. Having said that, the EP will also be available on iTunes and possibly other digital music providers globally for most so that you can purchase and download the EP. All the laminate does is reserve you a digital copy using the redeem code on the back to download it once it's released, and also give you a nice little souvenir to go with it.

Disc vs. Digital

The EP will only be available to purchase in a downloadable digital format either by purchasing the laminate and pre-ordering a digital copy, or by purchasing through iTunes. Physcial disc copies will be available during the upcoming tours and the R5 official web store only.

Loud Tour

A Loud Tour is currently in the works for the Spring, probably around March-April. Official dates and cities are unknown and unconfirmed and are still being worked out and finalized and will be announced soon.

Hopefully I was able to clear up any confusion and answer any questions you have. If there's still something you are unsure of or have any other questions, leave a comment on this post, or tweet us on Twitter!

There's been a lot of talk going on around the R5 home headquarters in Los Angeles, and we got the inside scoop on it! I'm not sure if you all noticed me hashtag #R5Closet on Twitter. Well we learned that a new idea is in the works from the group where the group will pass on their clothing they have worn once or twice on tours, appearances, etc. Items will be posted for auction or made available to buy on a new website coming soon with some proceeds going to charity. The first items will be some pick necklaces that each of the guys and gal wore all last year. While they are very faded, they are necklaces actually worn by Ross, Riker, Rydel, Rocky, and Ratliff! What's unique about this new idea is the fact that you can own articles previously owned and worn by the group, while also benefiting charities.

Stay tuned, more info on this coming soon!

So, what do you think, will you be getting a piece of R5 history from their closet for your own closet while also benefiting charities?
