From late-night and daytime sets to in-studio visits and digital exclusives, Fender in Focus gathers the best of the week's performances from Fender players.

This week: All Time Low, Strand of Oaks, Misterwives and Australian sensation Tash Sultana.

All Time Low: "Green Light" (Lorde Cover)

Yes, they have a new album on the horizon to promote, which they did by performing new single "Dirty Laundry," but All Time Low had something special up their sleeves when they stopped into BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Asked to perform a cover, they chose recent Saturday Night Live musical guest Lorde's "Green Light". The four-piece did it justice, for sure, with frontman Alex Gaskarth playing a Fender Paramount Triple-0 and bassist Zack Merrick pulling out his amazing custom-finished Precision Bass.


Strand of Oaks: "Rest of It"

Philadelphia's Strand of Oaks recently got the late-night treatment with an appearance on Conan. The band has a new album (Hard Love) that came out in February, and they played the rollicking track "Rest of It". Host Conan O'Brien seemed to dig it, as he enthusiastically thanked the band, especially frontman Timothy Showalter, who grinned as he clutched his Telecaster.


Misterwives: "Machine"

New York City-based Misterwives might have their next album, Connect the Dots, coming out on May 19, but they have already released a new single. They performed that track, entitled "Machine", on The Late Late Show with James Corden, with guitarist Marc Campbell using his Telecaster and bassist William Hehir rocking his Precision Bass.


Tash Sultana:

The immensly talented Tash Sultana brought her looping magic to New York's WFUV radio for a few songs, and you can watch her demonstrate that talent with the title track of her 2016 EP, Notion.
