The world may be missing Neon Trees a bit, but frontman Tyler Glenn is trying to remedy the pain by releasing solo material of his own. While Glenn’s vocals are undeniably Neon Trees-esque, the music he’s singing along to is far more interesting and more inventive than anything we’ve seen from his band in quite a while. His upcoming album, Excommunication, shows another side of his musical talent, and it’s a sound that isn’t hard to get used to listening to on a regular basis.

With his newly released song, “Gates,” Glenn turns down the tempo compared to previous tracks like “Trash” or the disco-anthem, “G.D.M.M.L. Grls.” “Gates” is a slow burn pop song that shines more in its verses than it does in its chorus, which is unlike what we usually see from him.

In terms of lasting value,...

With each song that Tyler Glenn releases from his upcoming solo album, it’s getting harder and harder to really miss music from Neon Trees. The Neon Trees vocalist is doing something much different – and arguably better – with his solo career, and he just released another new song that shows how serious he’s taking the new venture.

Glenn will be dropping his debut solo album, Excommunication, on October 21st, and the songs that have been released thus far pretty much sound like Neon Trees juiced up with steroids. Today’s song, “G.D.M.M.L Grls,” which stands for “God didn’t make me like girls,” is an upbeat dance number backed by a powerful message – 80’s-influenced drums and guitar tones loom in background as Glenn sings about being gay growing up in the church. Overall, it’s remarkably candid and unapologetic – but that’s always been Glenn’s personality from the start,...

Windsor lost her wife, Thea Spyer, in 2009 and because of the federal “Defense of Marriage Act” (Doma) the couple wasn’t recognized as married by the federal government. Thus, Windsor would have been required to pay more than $360,000 in estate taxes– a potential injustice affecting all Lgbt domestic partners thanks to Doma. To fight this injustice, Windsor filed suit in Windsor v. United States. Attorney Roberta Kaplan and her firm Paul Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to the case Pro Bono.

Los Angeles - Neon Trees' new album "Pop Psychology" drops today, and just a month ago, frontman Tyler Glenn came out as gay. According to Glenn, fans are going to hear a lot of intersection of the latter in the former. Speaking to me from the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards this month, Glenn said that a lot of lyrics from "Pop Psychology" came from "therapy sessions... it feels very cathartic." His advice to those who are closeted is that "it's Ok to be scared" though "it's the best thing I've done in a long time." "I know how it feels," Glenn continued. "Tweet me if you need a friend." Watch the rest of the video above for Glenn's tips on keeping your voice and watching out for those hard-partying nights.

Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn says he's known he was gay since he was 6-years-old, and now so does the rest of the world.

The Neon Trees frontman told Rolling Stone magazine that despite his conservative Mormon upbringing, he’s known he was gay since he was six years old.

Glenn explained, "I don't know what the rumors are, but we're not taught that 'homos are going to hell' on Sunday in church. Mostly it's just about Christ and his teachings."

And while he’s unapologetic about his sexual orientation, Tyler is a bit concerned that his hometown fans in Provo, Utah will be upset about his revelation- "I hope they don't feel like we're pulling the rug out from under them.”

After high school, Glenn actually went on a 2-year Mormon mission to strengthen his faith. "I was like, 'I'm 18, I'm either going to go to college, which...

New York — Neon Trees have kept themselves incredibly busy since their debut album, Habits, dropped in March. Having toured with a number of big rock acts (30 Seconds to Mars, Paper Tongues, the Silver Twilight and Jessie J, to name a few), MTV News caught up with them in New York City as part of the tour opening for My Chemical Romance.

This band is also among the big-name artists who have had their music featured on "Glee,...
