Doran Danoff is sharing with the ComicPop listeners his single “Young Love”. This has a great bluesy/rock feel to it that the listener can get into easily. After listening to it a few times it reminded me of the style of something the Eagles would have put out back in the day. I enjoyed “Young Love” and I think many of you will to. Thanks again to Doran for sharing “Young Love” through SoundCloud – Richard:
The Other Side of the Door looks to be another decent horror flick. I’m into these so I’ll definitely check it out at some point in my busy life. If you’re into the horror genre as well check it out from 20th Century Fox who supplied the trailer from their YouTube channel:
OWL is graciously sharing their new music video, for their single “Witch’s Familiar”. The band is fronted by Chris Wyse, whom many will remember as the bassist for Ace Frehley and The Cult. Chris is joined by Jason Achilles Mezilis on guitar and vocals and Dan Dinsmore on drums. With “Witch’s Familiar” OWL gives the listener and viewer a darker experience that touches on Psychedelic. The music video matches the tone of the single. This one will make you pause to listen and if you are into the darker gothic type of music “Witch’s Familiar” will resonate with you. Be sure to look for their EP Things You Can’t See from your favorite vendor. Here’s OWL”s music video they are sharing with us from their YouTube channel, “Witch’s Familiar” – Richard:
The above bronze will be welcoming guests at the new Hakodate-Hakuto Station come March 26. The Hakkaido Line will connect Honshu, Japan’s main island, to Hokkaido, it northern island in the town of Hokuto. The current Oshima-Ono Station is being remodeled and named the New Hakodate-Hakuto Station. The towns name Hokuto roughly translates into “North Star” hence the bronze statue from Fist of the North Star that will be welcoming passengers as they arrive at the New Hakodate-Hakuto Station.
Leondro hits up ComicPop again with his latest single “Like That”. I can see “Like That” being played in the club scene because it has enough of a pop mainstream feel to it that everyone will want to hit the dance floor with to groove and grind to.

The band Givers & Takers are sharing with the ComicPop listeners their latest single “Start the Morning”.

Well done and get ready to swoon with Givers & Takers, “Start the Morning” through SoundCloud – Richard:
