Premiere: Holychild Run Wild In "Running Behind" Video
Young, wild, and free.
This is Holychild, a Los-Angeles-based duo that makes hooky and contagious pop music that doesn't make you check your brain at the door.

They made noise last year with wry and polished early singles "Happy With Me" and "Playboy Girl," the latter of which gleefully upended feminine beauty standards.
Holychild's debut EP featuring both songs, MINDSPEAK, was released in March.
Today the band is premiering the video for new single "Running Behind," the first taste of a full-length album set to arrive in 2015, exclusively on BuzzFeed Music.

The frenetic track, which sounds like getting shot through a pinball machine, gets an appropriately playful, poolside video, directed by Nistico.
"I wanted to show more of our personalities," says Nistico of the video, which was shot in and around Holychild's manager's parents' house in the Atwater Village neighborhood of L.A. "So many of our videos are heavy with social commentary, and that's in here a little but mostly it's just me and Louie chillin' in the world. This is the first video we're releasing from our album, so I really just wanted it to be an introduction of things to come."

No, Selena's Killer Is Not Up For Early Release From Prison
A fake news site reported Monday that Yolanda SaldÃvar, who received a life sentence for killing Selena, could receive early release in 2015. A spokesman with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said it was a false report.

Texas prison officials Tuesday debunked reports that Yolanda Saldívar, who was convicted of killing singer Selena, could be released from prison in 2015.
An article on the National Report, a satirical news site, reported Monday that Saldívar could be released as early as Jan. 1 2015.
Robert Hurst, a spokesman with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, told BuzzFeed News that Saldívar was not up for review until 2025.
"That is not true," Hurst said of the National Report article.
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was fatally shot by Saldívar on March 31, 1995 at a motel in Corpus Christi, Texas. Selena had confronted Saldívar, who was the president of her fan club, of embezzling money.
Saldívar is currently serving a life sentence at the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, Texas, according to prison records. Her next parole review date is set for March 3, 2025.
An online petition concerning the fake date of her release got more than 3,800 signatures
The fake report ignited a flurry of negative comments and inspired a change.org petition that received nearly 4,000 signatures in less than 24 hours.
"This would be an abortion of justice. Please do not release this woman who took the life of such a promising and talented woman," the petition said. "Yolanda Saldivar needs to serve out the rest of her sentence, and be behind bars for the remainder of her natural life."
