Last year female-fronted bands Paramore and No Doubt toured together, and it looks like 2010 will be a year dominated by rocking chicas too! Hey Monday is set to be one of tour headliners on the AP Tour 2010. The Cab, Every Avenue, and The Summer Set (also three J-14 faves) will open the shows. Every Avenue's lead singer Cassadee Pope tweeted "stoked for the @aptour," as did the whole band:

The last headlining band on the tour will be announced Friday, December 18, followed by the official tour dates.

Does the AP Tour 2010 sound like a good line-up?

J-14 is scouting out bands on the brink... and this week's pick is The Summer Set!

Here are five things you need to know about The Summer Set, whose album, Love Like This, is out today!

1- The band came up with their name by opening up an atlas -- and ending up on Somerset, NJ, which they changed into "Summer Set."

2- They're currently on tour with Cartel and This Providence through
November 27.

3- Talk about girl power -- The Summer Set's got a girl drummer, Jess Bowen! But she says the guys don't treat her any differently!

4- Their music is all about the fun. Lead singer Brian Dales says, "We're just five normal kids, who live normal lives making the music that we love. You can hear the fun on our records, but hopefully when people come to our shows, you can feel all the fun and love that we're putting out there and take part of it home with you!"

5- When Brian was first introduced to JONAS actress Chelsea Staub, it was practically love at first sight! He wrote a song about his crush and performed it live for her at the Troubadour in Los Angeles last October... now the two are dating in real life! (Look how cute they are together!)

JONAS star Chelsea Staub received the ultimate compliment -- a boy wrote a song about her! J-14 was the first magazine to ever ask her about the tune, and she dished to us all about the song "Chelsea" by the hot new band, The Summer Set.

J-14: We came across a song called "Chelsea." Tell us about it!

Chelsea Staub: Well, "Chelsea" is a song by The Summer Set. I went to high school with two of the band members [in Arizona], and they're really great friends. I moved to L.A. and they called me a couple years later and said, 'We started this band it's called The Summer Set and were coming to play a show in L.A. and we're really nervous. We don't know anybody -- will you come to the show to support us? Plus, we want to see you!' And I was like, 'Absolutely!'

J-14: So what happened when you went to the show?

Chelsea Staub: I went to the show and loved them. I thought they were so great! I instantly became a fan and continued to hang out with them. And I really hit it off with the lead singer, Brian [Dales]. A little while later they said, 'We wrote you a song.' And the first time I heard it, it was live on stage. It was very flattering! I was literally like crying the first time I heard it -- I could not believe it!

J-14: So when can our readers hear "Chelsea?"

Chelsea Staub: It's going to be their first single! They're releasing their first album this September!

J-14: Are you going to be in the music video?

Chelsea Staub: Yep! I'm going to be in their video. I can't believe it! It's one of the most flattering things anyone has ever done for me. Its so sweet and unbelievable. I can't get over it!

(Editor's note: Chelsea is definitely The Summer Set's biggest fan! Look what she posted on her Twitter right after the song was released:)

Even celebs like Chelsea Staub had totally make fools of themselves in school! Chels couldn't hold back when J-14 asked her to dish an embarrassing moment from when she was 14! Luckily, Chelsea can look back at it now and laugh! :-)

While chatting with Chelsea, she revealed to us exclusively that her boyfriend, Brian Dales, who's in the band The Summer Set, wrote her a song to win her heart! In fact, we were the first ones to ever ask her about the song "Chelsea!"

It's time for the next hint: Before this celeb had a huge summer hit, he was on the TV show Degrassi.

Which guy celeb do you wish would write a song for you?
