Raelyn Nelson Band is Coming at you with “Free”

This is to much fun! Raelyn Nelson Band is kickin’ it with their latest single Free. From the lyrics to the music video parodying several Brittney Spears music videos and looks is great. For me Free falls into the Country/Billy Rock or what they are calling Country/Garage Rock. They are sharing with us their music video for the single Free and be sure to give them a follow on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter and support them through your digital vendor of choice.

Battle Tapes release Music Video to “If Only”

Battle Tapes begins “If Only” with a slower electronic sound then moves into a nice drum transition with a harder beat. The single carries the faster base beat through the remainder of the song. The lead singer uses auto-tune through out the song at different points, mainly for the chorus. If you are a fan of the 1980’s – 1990’s synth-pop you will dig this single. As my first exposure to Battle Tapes I enjoyed the sound. If you enjoyed them as well be sure to subscribe to them on YouTube and check out your digital vendors of choice to give them your support.
