Beau + Luci is sharing with our listeners their single “Fire Dancer”. This single is the title track from their upcoming EP Fire Dancer, scheduled for release March 3. Judging by this single Beau + Luci’s style is country/rock. The single has a great beat to it with both voices harmonizing nicely to give the single a bit of otherworldly feel to it. For book lovers this next little tidbit is interesting. Within the description of this single it says that “Fire Dancer” is inspired by Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart Trilogy. Kind of cool! Here’s Beau + Luci’s “Fire Dancer” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Blue Cactus is sharing with us their debut music video for their single “I Never Knew Heartache”. This one is for all the waltz lovers out there. Blue Cactus dives deep into the roots of country/western music for this nostalgic feel for “I Never Knew Heartache”. Even the music video takes you back to the earlier ’70’s, before the transition to the more modern country sound that was developing. Blue Cactus is aiming for a late February, early March release of their self-titled album so if you enjoy the country/western vibe this might be one for you. Here’s the music video for “I Never Knew Heartache” from Blue Catcus’ YouTube channel – Richard:

DC Comics looks to have another winner with their latest animated feature Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Check out the trailer from their YouTube channel:
Alxxa is sharing with us her single “Nobody”. This single will be one that the club scene will enjoy. It has an electronic punch to the instrumentals, but Alxxa’s voice is really crisp and clear. I would love to hear her sing a more traditional single. I think that would really make her voice shine like it should. Definitely interested in what she will come up with next. Here’s Alxxa’s “Nobody” that you can enjoy through SoundCloud – Richard:
Dagashi Kashi looks to be a fun anime that gives you a look at one of Japan’s unique traits that I wish we would have here in the United States. Of course I would say that with my collecting mentality. Still the show looks fun. Here’s the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
Down on Maddy is the stage name of a new experimental/alternative rock artist. Today he is sharing with our listeners his single “Titania”. With this single you get several different rhythms with the song. This shifting can be a little jarring, but for those that like experimental rock will dig it. Down on Maddy to an interesting approach with his vocals for this single as well. With having the experimental feel with this single he also threw in lyrics that are drawn out to create a psychedelic sound. So fans of experimental rock enjoy Down on Maddy’s single “Titania” through SoundCloud – Richard:
