Harris Hawk Hits the Streets with “Make the Fonz Bleed”

city bird publicityharris hawk

Holy rock, this is my type of band. From the intro I was immediately into the song and really liked the raw almost jagged sound to the music. I did get a little lost in the middle of the song though, because the instrumentals overpowered the vocals too much. Rock music needs strong vocals to sit on top of it and emote even more. The only time a softer voice works in rock is if the voice is distinctively separated from the music but it wasn’t in this case. If the vocalist gets stronger and can be heard better I would love this group. They’ve got the foundation of a good rock band, if they just tweaked a couple things they would be there.

Trak Joy’s New Single “Skin”

city bird publicitytrak

Let me just say that ‘Skin’ is a really good title for a song. It’s short and interests people, the song itself is lacking though. I liked the intro of the song but it got a little too trippy for me. I didn’t really enjoy how high the vocals were and the voice doesn’t work with the wispy treatment. It sounds like I’ve taken a bad hit of acid and I’m going on a warped trip. The music also seemed a little lost in itself. There was so much going on and not enough that complemented each other. If Trak Joy would bring down the vocals and focus the music they’ll be great.
-April B.

Just because April doesn’t like the trippy sound doesn’t mean that others won’t.  Give it a listen.  It might be right up your alley.  So check out “Skin” through SoundCloud, below:

People the Kangaroo “Let Go”

city bird publicitypeople

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical of this group from the very beginning just from their name. A group’s name is very important, you want it to be unique but still attract people and I’m afraid this group name would deter me. Getting to the music my reason for being skeptical was justified. The intro was interesting and I enjoyed the mix of percussion and electro but the vocals were lacking. I didn’t like the smoother flow of the lyrics because the music is already connected, I really wanted the vocals to be harsher and more defined. The instrumental interlude was really cool and I could listen to it all day, the vocals also got a little better when the song picked up the pace but I still wasn’t too fond of it. I honestly would love it if they created this song purely for the instrumental music and I never say that.
-April B.

Spectre in Constantine?

jim

Will the Spectre be showing up in Constantine, the DC Comics Vertigo title on NBC?  Things kind of point that direction as the show as added the character Jim Corrigan, to the show to be played by Emmett Scanlan, who is known to be Spectre in the DC Universe.  This could be another fun series like Arrow if they introduce several of DC’s supernatural characters to the show.

What would really be cool is if they would tie this into Arrow and Flash for crossovers.  But that’s probably to much to ask for.

Skydance Productions has optioned Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) for a live action Hollywood film, according to The Sports Nippon newspaper.  The article went on to state that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the movie after he is finished directing Mission Impossible 5.  This will give Space Battleship Yamato a 2017 release date.  We will have to wait and see if everything advances.  If not we still have the anime series and Japan’s live action movie.
