We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Lily Elise has generated an EP entitled Taken. We have the music video to her first single from Taken, “Generator”, from her YouTube channel.
She starts out with really a nice smooth ballad that she carries well with her Alto sound. Her voice is really clear in the recording and strong enough to stand out over the instruments. For a first single she has a nice sound and I am interested in what else she has for us on her EP – Richard:
Star Wars Episode Vii: The Force Awakens, I like it. During the original trilogy the Force was in basically in a forced dormant state by the Emperor. So by the end of Return of the Jedi with the Emperor’s defeat many of the beings that do have Force traits can allow themselves to awaken the force within them.
Julius releases his second single “OhhBaby”, his first being “Falling on Hard Times”. Listening to both singles you can feel the classical influence he has with his experience as a composer. In “OhhBaby” you can hear a “march’ tempo with the drums that you would hear in a classical composition. Both songs are different in style, so it seems he is experimenting with his sound and his voice. Each song sounds nice and for only his first two singles Julius will be a performer to watch. Check out his two singles from SoundCloud below – Richard:

Andre Costello & the Cool Minors hit with a cool single for me. I enjoy Folk music and this is probably where they would fit the best. The single “Places” isn’t by any means a Folk Rock, but more in line with pure Folk to Folk Pop. It has a nice clear sound and the vocals are up front for everyone to enjoy while the instruments give a nice foundation for the single. If you are into Folk music you will definitely enjoy “Places”. Even if your not big into Folk give it a listen through the SoundCloud link below it has a catchy rhythm – Ricard:

Ghost Loft’s latest reflects the single’s title “Be Easy”. The rhythm and vocals are strong and sharp, but they flow smoothly or “Easy” on the listeners ears. Very nice sound and most will enjoy the single. It’s not a get up and dance song, just a nice flowing song. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
Big Hero 6 is Disney next animation movie. This is coming out of the Marvel property and will be coming out this weekend. So all you animation lovers prepare for the ride. Thanks to “MOVIECLIPS Trailers’ YouTube channel for providing the trailer:
Life Leone is begin their tour to promote the EP Comes Crashing In, with the release of the single “I Can’t Say No” . The group definitely has that rocking feel and I see were they get the term fuzzy rock. With the guitar so loud it is the star of the music. However, the lyrics are decent and the lead singers voice sounds good. They don’t have to hide him, just let it all flow naturally and they would be even a more powerful rock group. Check out their single “I Can’t Say No” through SoundCloud it might be for you – Richard:

Jupiter Arista wants everyone to check out “Call Me”. If you are a fan of the disco era you will enjoy this single. Everything about this single screams disco and to me harkens back to something that Donna Summer would have done in the day. Sadly we are unavailable to let you listen to the single at this time, but look for it through this link to Surviving the Golden Age website: http://
