city bird publicitybencoolen

Bencoolen is sharing with the ComicPop listeners the title track off their upcoming album In Color.  “In Color” is a mix of several different styles that meshes well.  The opening is unexpected and you think big band, but then it goes into a catchy rhythm.  Just by listening, in this single they has a Spanish influence.  The catchy rhythm really makes your head bob to the music and is fun to listen to, check out ‘In Color” through SoundCloud and give Bencoolen some support on May 12, when their album drops – Richard:

“Down to the Water’s Edge” with Ben de la Cour

KoralYoungLogo1ben

“Down by the Water’s Edge” is one that went straight to my sweet spot.  Why you may ask?  Ben de la Cour, at least with this single, has the stylings of The Highwaymen.  If you don’t know of the Highwaymen it was a group of country western singers that were kind of on the fringes of country music, they were Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings.  I always loved their style when they where together or on their own and I think Ben has tapped into that same vibe.  The music video that Ben is sharing with us for “Down by the Water’s Edge” is also something I can see the Highway Men doing as well.  So if you like the Highwaymen you will dig Ben de la Cour’s “Down by the Water’s Edge” from his upcoming album Midnight in Havana.  Thanks to Ben for sharing his music video through his YouTube channel – Richard:

Fly Never Dies is sharing with the ComicPop listeners their single “Love and The Stars.”  The single features Casey Shea and is from their just released EP by the same name The Love and The Stars.  This single has a electro/pop feel and then shifts into hip hop for it’s chorus.  Towards the end the intertwine the two styles which brings out a cool effect.  “Love and the Stars” has a feel good quality to it that you will enjoy.  And how many songs feature a wood block as an instrument, unless that is an electronic sound effect sometimes it’s hard to tell, but still a wood block was an interesting choice.  Check out Fly Never Dies single “Love and The Stars” through SoundCloud and then look up their EP to download – Richard:

Batman: The Killing Joke Trailer

killing joke

DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation has decided to produce Batman: The Killing Joke.  This is one of the few rated “R” animated movies that a company in the U.S. has made.  If you are a fan of the Batman mythos you know this was a rough and traumatic story and there really was no other way to adapt this story and have the same resonance.  So everyone be aware that this is a great heart breaking/gut wrenching story that is not intended for children.
