2009-2010: Beginnings and BTR

Big Time Rush signed a record deal in 2009 simultaneously with the television series, Big Time Rush. Their debut single, "Big Time Rush", was released on November 29, 2009. It debuted during a one-hour special preview of the series and it is currently the show's opening theme. The series also saw the releases of other promotional singles including "City Is Ours" and "Any Kind of Guy". Big Time Rush also covered a Play song titled "Famous".

The album was later certified Gold for shipments of 500,000 copies in the U.S. and has currently sold over 900,000 copies worldwide. In November 2010, it was announced that a Christmas special of Big Time Rush would debut later that month, and that a Christmas EP would be released to coincide with the episode. The EP, titled Holiday Bundle was released on November 30, 2010. They covered All I Want For Christmas Is You, originally performed by Mariah Carey, with fellow Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove. On February 15 2011, "Boyfriend" was released as the band's first official single to mainstream US radio.

2012-present: Film debut and third studio album 

The band announced they would be starring in their full-length 2012 film, Big Time Movie. The movie features them travelling to London, England. In Big Time Movie, the four members of the band Big Time Rush head to London for their first big world tour but instead get mixed up in a mission to save the world. The film was released on 10 March 2012 in the US, while a Germany release was on 22 September 2012.[1] Due to the promotion, the group recorded cover of The Beatles songs and released an EP, Big Time Movie Soundtrack EP.[2] However, the film received mixed to positive reviews from most contemporary film critics, many comparing them to The Monkees but praising their fun, carefree image.[3][4] However, the film was a commercial success, having over 13 million views in a week.[5]
On March 31, 2012, Big Time Rush released a music video for the song Time Of Our Life with other Nickelodeon stars including themselves, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies, How To Rock Cast, and more. In March 2012 Big Time Rush co-hosted MTV's 10 on top.
The group is currently writing and recording new songs for their third album. Their single, "Windows Down", was released on June 25, 2012. With its success, the song peaked at 37 on the US Pop Songs and 15 on the US Heatseekers Songs.[6] The song then debuted at 97 on the Billboard Hot 100.[7] It was included on a re-release of the group's second album, Elevate. It has also sold over 120,000 digital units as of August 4th, 2012. it has been certified silver in the united states by the RIAA for denoting over 100,000 sold downloads.
The music video was filmed in Maui, Hawaii and was released on June 22, three days before the single's iTunes release. Within 24 hours, the music video shot to #2 on the iTunes music video charts, second to Katy Perry's Wide Awake. It has since dropped to #3, third to Call Me Maybe, which it overtook earlier that week. On August 6, 2012 Nickelodeon renewed the Big Time Rush series for a 13-episode fourth season, with production starting at the start of 2013.

Artistry

Musical style and themes

Because the group are associated with the TV series and children network Nickelodeon, they have been presented as a "child-friendly" group, but have musical differences. While reviewing their first studio album, BTR, Jessica Dawson from Common Sense, she stated "Big Time Rush is a standout, not only because of their boyish charm and good looks, but because their music is a cool blend of synth-pop, hip-hop, and boy-band harmonies."[8] The music found on BTR is mainly pop and R&B. The music found on the album is child-appropriate, as it serves as not only their debut album, but the soundtrack to their self-titled series.
Their second studio album, Elevate, presented a more dance-oriented song, along with general pop music and R&B.

Success and public image

Carlos Pena Jr. was interviewed September 2012, and talked about if Big Time Rush could exist outside of their Big Time Rush (TV show)where he replied;




"I think the music could stand alone, but I don’t know if it would be as powerful. The show has definitely been our main audience. We have four million kids watching. So when you put a song out, four million kids hear it. When you put a song on the radio, you’re not going to have four million people listening. It’s a blessing and a curse being on Nickelodeon — it’s gotten us where we are now, though some people are standoffish to us because of that. But we have to be grateful that Nickelodeon gave us this opportunity. Abandoning the show would not be the best idea."[9]



He was then asked about the ending of the series, where he replied "This probably is going to be our last season. We have done almost 100 episodes, which is great. But yeah, the goal is for the music to carry on — and for us to do other ventures."[9] They were also asked about this with JustJaredDJ and they said "[BTR] We’re going to be a band as long as our record label allows us to [...] We’re dedicated to BTR until the very end and we don’t even know when that is." Amanda Ash from Edmondson Journal said "While teens weave and wobble through adolescence, plastering posters of boys with side-swept hair on our walls, it seems as though boy bands like Big Time Rush too must take life as it comes. Sure, it might mean functioning as a hinge on a musical machine, cranking out singles in exchange for dollar signs, but artists learn and grow, too. Big Time Rush is just another mandatory rung the quartet must climb."[10]
With their success, the group have been compared to recent boy bands such as One Direction and The Wanted. However, in most reviewers, Big Time Rush have been divided with positivety and negativity from onlookers. However, recent boy bands including One Direction and The Wanted have also not received rave outcomes.[11] Michael O'Connell from The Hollywood Reporter said "One Direction is but one group in this resilient and timeless fad. They follow the recent success of fellow Brits The Wanted and Nickelodeon's cross-market creation Big Time Rush. One [One Direction] is fluke. Two [The Wanted] is a coincidence. And three [Big Time Rush] is a trend that you want to father your unborn children.'[12] In August 2012, the group were voted the Best Boy Band in the World, with over 800,000 votes casted on them.[13][14] Melinda Newman from Washington Post stated "In the grand tradition of boy bands, these acts share certain traits with their similarly manufactured pop ancestors: Members of the Wanted and Big Time Rush auditioned for their parts at a casting call. The members of One Direction were put together by Simon Cowell after trying out individually for the British edition of “The X Factor.”"[11] However, she positively compared them to The Monkees by saying "Big Time Rush is similar to the Monkees with its own TV series as a launchpad, and the group appeals to kids and tweens."[11]
To date, Big Time Rush have sold over 4 million records worldwide. they are also one of the most popular boy band's in the 21st century.

Plot of the Show

The story revolves around four ordinary guys who love hockey: Kendall Knight (Kendall Schmidt), James Diamond (James Maslow), Logan Mitchell (Logan Henderson), and Carlos Garcia (Carlos Pena Jr.). James dreams of becoming a star and jumps at the chance to audition when famous music manager Gustavo Rocque is in town. But when all four guys end up auditioning, Gustavo dislikes James' singing and instead wants to sign Kendall. Kendall agrees as long as his friends can join him, the four of them making up a boy band. They move to California with Kendall's mom and little sister, where they attend Palm Woods School, a special high school just for actors, singers, and other performers. The boys routinely conflict with the overbearing, hard-driving Gustavo and his well-meaning assistant Kelly, while trying to impress Gustavo's boss, Griffin, so that they don't lose their chance at success.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Knight helps keep the boys in line and, even more so, her conniving, mischievous daughter Katie. The four teens often help out Tyler, a young boy whose mother is obsessed with his acting career, and sometimes hang out with Guitar Dude and actress-wannabe Camille. They also repeatedly (and often unsuccessfully) attempt to get dates with various female classmates, including the Jennifers, and Jo who was Kendall's girlfriend untill she moved to New Zealand for 3 years. But then she came back
When new episodes premiere, they will air on Thursday nights at 8:00/7:00c on Nickelodeon.

Kendall Schmidt
Kendall Schmidt has earned a huge fan base thanks to his starring role on Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush, and as the show rolls on in its fourth season, he's seizing the opportunity to re-launch his own music project. BFTV recently checked in with Kendall to find out if this really is BTR's final run and get the 411 on Heffron Drive.
Kendall's co-star Tanya Chisholm told us earlier this month that season four is "technically" the last for Big Time Rush, but he said that he hasn't gotten that memo. "I really have no idea. I'm pretty sure being part of the band somebody would have told me, and nobody has done that yet," he explained. "I love doing the show, so we'll see. I think all of us are okay with taking the time to do something on our own, but also we love being Big Time Rush."
He and his colleagues don't just play a band on TV - they actually are a band, and fans will be thrilled to know that there's more Big Time Rush music headed your way. Their new album is called 24/Seven, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon before it hits shelves on June 11. "We're really excited about that. We've been working on it since the end of our last tour," Kendall said. "I think there's 10 songs on the [regular] CD, 15 on the deluxe album. All the songs are in an episode [of the show], and then the deluxe stuff is just stuff that we had to put on there. James [Maslow] did this song called 'Amazing,' which is really great. Logan [Henderson] and I did a song called 'Untouchable.'"
In addition to his commitment to Big Time Rush in all its forms, Kendall has teamed with Dustin Belt to resurrect a music project they began before the show called Heffron Drive. When he spoke to BFTV, he'd just returned from a European tour for the new-old gig, and he's excited to bring it back to the forefront.
"Basically it's a new effort at something I did a long time ago. We started making music and we put a name to it, then I booked Big Time Rush, so obviously I kind of had to put on hold," he explained. "But [Dustin]'s always been there. He's been playing guitar for the actual Big Time Rush band since the beginning. So we kind of always had the idea of keeping it going. It's reinvigorated I guess you could say. I'm going to keep doing as much as I can while being in Big Time Rush."
If you're a BTR fan that hasn't yet listened to Heffron Drive, there are a few things he'd like you to know before you get started. "The songs that they're listening to, I did them on my computer in my room when I was 17," he said, referring to the few tracks that are available at places like ReverbNation. "They're literally like mixed, mastered and done by me. I'd like to redo those songs and eventually put those songs out with modern tracks and everything like that"
"It's a little more grown-up. It's a little more upper teenager lyrical content. The Postal Service is a big inspiration," he continued, describing the Heffron Drive sound. "But it's catchy stuff. My brothers love it just as much as some of the fans love it."
Being on a hit TV show, playing in the band that goes with it, and launching his own side project - what is it like for Kendall to juggle all these ambitions? "At this point it seems sort of normal to be on a pretty hectic schedule," he explained with a laugh. "You can't ever really be that upset. I'm running around promoting music that I've made, and I'm running around promoting a TV show I was lucky enough to be a part of. There's people in the world who want to see us play live and want to meet us in person, and it's our job as entertainers to do that."
He also takes a moment to thank the Big Time Rush audience, having found out before this interview that the band has snagged a Teen Choice Award nomination. "I just found out about that. We're nominated for Choice Music Group," he said, adding without missing a beat, "We have the best fans in the world."
Big Time Rush airs Thursdays on Nickelodeon (check your local listings for specific time and channel). 24/Seven is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. You can also keep up with Kendall on Twitter (@HeffronDrive).
And I think the second one that everyone’s feeling is ‘Song for You,’ and that’s just an awesome song. But it’s weird, the two songs that are coming out first are ones that we didn’t do. We wrote 13 out of 15 songs, and those two songs are the ones that came out first, which is fine, but I almost like to think we’re saving the best for last.
The very last episode has two songs in it, and they were both ones that I wrote, so I’m super stoked about that. The president of Nick actually came up to me and she said, ‘What’s that Ryan Tedder song you guys have on your CD?’ I asked, ‘Which one?’ and she said, ‘We Are.’ I said, ‘I wrote that!’ She was like, ‘You wrote that?! It sounded like a Ryan Tedder track!’
That’s a pretty big compliment!
Yeah, it’s a sick compliment. He did one of our songs on the second album. I remember working with him, and he was a pure genius. Having somebody say that my song sounded anything even remotely like something he would write was a huge compliment.
I think another great song is ‘Confetti Falling.’ It’s old, we’ve wanted to use it forever and we’ve never gotten the chance to do it. It was in consideration on the second album, but we did 16 songs for this one. It’s hard. Songs that I adore didn’t make the album, but I also know that since I did them, I can always use them for Heffron Drive.
Oh, you can?
Yeah. I think it’s a certain length of time after. They have to give me an option to use it for six months or something like that. It’s contractual stuff. But after that it’s free and clear again and I can use that song. So if they don’t want it, it’s like, ‘Fine, don’t take it. I’ll keep it!’ [Laughs]
Have you ever thought about selling your songs to other artists?
Yeah, I’d love to sell songs. I’ve been looking to get a publishing deal soon. That’s a big dream of mine as well. I’ve actually written a song for this girl named Ellen Levann. She’s an Australian artist and I think it’s gonna be either her second or third single, which I’m pretty stoked about. She does all dance music and I was in sort of in a rasta mood that day, and it just so happened that they were playing that kind of music in the studio that day.
I remember I was late for the session and I came in and was like, ‘I don’t have any ideas.’ Then I remember thinking about that song ‘Chain of Fools.’ I was thinking about this girl and she seemed like a beach-y girl, and I got this image of a girl hanging on a guy, like staring up longingly at him. I got to the session and I was like, ‘I had this idea. A girl hanging on a guy and at the end you say, ‘All I wanna do is be hanging on you like a chain, chain, chain.” And they were like, ‘Yeah!’ The song kind of just flowed out.
So, have you guys started preparing for the Big Time Rush summer tour yet?
NO! *laughs*Laughs] No, no, no, we actually had a meeting yesterday morning, talking about set lists and stuff. I saw pictures of the set, and it looks really cool. We’re not bringing a band this time, we’re gonna have be a DJ. Ultimately because there’s four of us on stage, we take up so much of the presence anyways, that the guys [in the band] never really had a chance to shine.
But [our guitarist] Dustin is still coming, he’s going to play acoustic. We’re doing like a middle acoustic section, and he’s gonna come out and play with me. So, I’m supposed to be putting a set list together, I was going to do it on the flight but I fell asleep.
Oh, you guys get to put it together. That’s fun!
Yeah, like I’ll send my idea, and then Carlos will be like, ‘I like that, but let’s do this.’ And then Logan will be like, ‘I don’t like it all, let’s do this.’ And James will be like, ‘Uhhh, sounds good.’
But all I know is that we have to switch it up from the last tour. I think we’re gonna try and do six new songs. You know, when you go to concerts and they’re like, ‘We’re gonna play a new one for ya!’ Well, we’re gonna do six. And I think … everyone should know [the new songs] by that point. And hopefully have bought the album!
We’re sure you will have no problems there. You guys shot way up on iTunes when ’24/Seven’ first went on pre-sale.
Yeah, it’s cool that the pre-order is up like that. When it first came out, it went to No. 5 on the Pop Charts pre-order. I only consider us in the Pop Chart realm. I don’t look at the overall chart, because it’s like, I’m not competing against Toby Keith. You know what I mean? We’re only gonna be the best pop band that we can be.
We saw a picture of you and the other Big Time Rush guys on Instagram, and you’re all in a dumpster wearing ball suits. What was that about?
That’s just typical Big Time Rush. Don’t worry about that. Dumpsters with skintight ball suits… I find myself questioning my career sometimes. [Laughs]
['Big Time Rush' writer] Scott is a kooky guy, you know? I can only imagine what it’s like to write a script from nothing, so the ideas he comes up with tend to be wacky, especially since he’s a bit of a human cartoon himself.
[That episode] we were doing a video game in the world of Big Time Rush. The boss thinks it’s gonna make a lot of money, but we had to wear these ridiculous ball suits, which is completely unrealistic to the way they actually do motion capture. Then we get locked out of the stage and it’s really cold and we’re running around the city, and everyone thinks that we’re aliens. The whole city clears out and they’re looking for these four aliens, but it’s really just us. So, we hide in a dumpster. We jumped in multiple times.

There’s also been some rumors about another Big Time Rush movie coming out.
I would love that. I think it would be great, but Scott would still have to write it. By the time we’re done with tour, I know that there are gonna be plans. They haven’t destroyed the sets. The sets are in storage, so as far as I’m concerned, we’re definitely gonna come back and do something. It might not be thirteen episodes again, but it might be like a mini series. We might do four hour-long shows, or one hour-long movie with three regular episodes to lead up to it.
But whatever it is, I’m in. I think we’re going to South America after [the summer tour]. We haven’t announced it, so don’t put that in there. [Laughs] Honestly though, put it in there, ’cause it puts the pressure on them! But that would be in August. We’d go to South America and would be back in the States in late September.
The tour’s gonna be really great, though. Victoria’s coming out with us. I haven’t seen what she’s doing yet, what her set is like. Apparently, she’s putting her own little place on stage with LED screens. It’ll be like a show within a show. She’s got a band — it’s kind of funny that she has a band and we don’t. We were kind of weird about it, but honestly there’s four dudes on stage. You don’t need any more dude on stage. That’s enough guy.

Do you think you’ll perform any songs with Victoria on tour?
We did ‘[I Knew You Were] Trouble’ when we did the tour announcement. ‘Song for You,’ Amy [Heidemann of Karmin] raps in it. It’s a really fun rap. I’ve learned it, so if I’ve learned it, then [Victoria] can learn it. And if not that, then maybe when we do our acoustic thing on ‘Trouble’ with her. I have a great time playing that song, it’s awesome. It’s got so much energy in it, especially when it builds into the chorus. I had fun at the House of Blues. I’d be down to do it again.
Kendall Schmidt
Columbia
Kendall Schmidt is a busy guy. When he isn’t out promoting his awesome two-man band Heffron Drive, he spends a lot of his time performing with a little group called Big Time Rush.
With a new album entitled ’24/Seven’ on the horizon for BTR, Schmidt stopped into the PopCrush headquarters to discuss the quartet’s latest LP (due out June 11), some of the new tracks, the band’s upcoming summer tour with Victoria Justice, dumpster diving on TV, and much, much more… including what’s in store for Big Time Rush’s future. Check out our exclusive chat with Schmidt below.
So, ‘Like Nobody’s Around’ is your first official single from ’24/Seven.’
Yeah, well it’s the first official single because it’s in the first episode. I don’t think the band would’ve picked it as the first single – it’s not just our decision though, there are all kinds of powers-that-be, including us, who have to make these choices.
But it’s a great song, and the message is unbelievable. It’s pretty much, be yourself and don’t judge people. I think a lot of music today is just about drinking and having a good time, which is great, it’s fine! But, kids need to have positive messages. It’s supposed to send the message that you can have fun being you and being creative. I have tattoos, why? Because I wanted to get tattoos and I’m myself. I’d never think I’d have a skull, but I do … Well, it’s a sugar skull, so it’s not that hardcore. [Laughs]
  The same day Kendall Schmidt visited CBSNews.com in New York City, he was stopped not once -- but twice -- by two girls who wanted him to sign a piece of paper with a song title and lyric. This wasn't just any regular piece of paper, though; both ladies planned to bring Schmidt's handwritten song title to a tattoo artist so they could get inked with a permanent tattoo.
"They get that tattoed on their body forever!" said singer/guitarist Schmidt. "I don't think they realize the significance of that."
That's the kind of die-hard enthusiasm that surrounds Big Time Rush -- both the boy band and the Nickelodeon series of the same name. The show is currently in its fourth season, and Schmidt, along with Logan Henderson, James Maslow and Carlos Pena, Jr. of Big Time Rush, will release their third studio album, "24/Seven," on Tuesday. Fans have been clamoring for new material ever since the release of Big Time Rush's last album, 2011's "Elevate."
Schmidt, 22, co-wrote at least six songs on the new set. "You walk in with sort of an idea and then something just comes out of nowhere, and then you're like, 'That sounds great.' And it's really not up to you to decide. It really comes down to playing it and someone likes it," said Schmidt, who says he also hopes to one day write and produce for other artists. "Writing a song -- creating something from nothing -- is really great," he said.
Schmidt is already tackling writing with his side project, Heffron Drive, a band he started even before he joined Big Time Rush. He recently toured with Heffron Drive, playing original songs and covers -- and hopes to do more with it soon. Schmidt actually had been pursuing a career with Heffron Drive before he landed the role with Big Time Rush, an opportunity that almost never happened.
"I went on an audition. Then I got a call-back," Schmidt said. "But then they hired the guy I think they shot the pilot with. Then I didn't hear anything for a long time. As far as I was concerned I forgot about it." He later ran into Scott Fellows, the creator of the show, who asked Schmidt to audition again. "I got another call-back and didn't hear anything for another three months...then I got called into 'boy band boot camp.' We would spend hours with the choreographer." Schmidt also had to sing as part of a competition with the other guys auditioning for the part. The rest is history, and he's been one quarter of Big Time Rush since 2009.
Big Time Rush will be on tour throughout the summer. And then? "I don't know how you can possibly dismantle a band like Big Time Rush. It's such a huge entity...We don't fight," Schmidt said. "We argue and bicker over little things. We're all so different that we never compete with each other...It's always going to be a huge part of my life -- and our lives. As long as the fans want content, and they want us to keep filming, I think they will keep us filming."
