When you watch and listen to Charlie Melrose’s music video, “The Original Ghost” you get a strong 1970’s vibe. I can see and hear flashes of Stevie Nicks in her style. Charlie references Lady Gaga as an inspiration as well which is evident and to me Lady Gaga has taken some ques from the 1970’s for some of her work. So Charlie is in some good company. Check out this nice flashback of a single, in Charlie Melrose’s “The Original Ghost”, for today’s music scene that I really enjoyed through her YouTube channel – Richard:
Ben and Andy’s Cover of Queen’s “Save Me”
Ben and Andy give us an acoustical version of Queen’s single “Save Me”. This is a very clean and crisp rendition of the single. The piano is beautifully done with the vocals hitting the mark on everything. Ben and Andy’s acoustical version isn’t as bombastic as Queen’s, but it is just as powerful. The video is just a studio type video, but the star of the video is the song. Take a moment and enjoy Ben and Andy’s “Save Me” Queen cover through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Hail Taxi’s Latest Music Video for “Wild Rose Country”
Hail Taxi is a folk/indie artist that is celebrating his home town of Alberta with his release for his latest music video for “Wild Rose Country”. This is a beautiful ballad that anyone that is proud of their home town will appreciate. This single is kept in the folk style with it’s simple rhythm and Hail Taxi’s pure voice that is filled with emotion. You can tell that this song means a lot to him. Along with this beautiful song, the music video is just as beautifully rendered. It has scenery from the Alberta area that the viewer will get lost in the video.

Vs’ Music Video for “Listen”
Vs is sharing their music video with our listeners for their single “Listen”. This single from beginning to end really has that old psychedelic rock sound. Even the music video with it’s imagery carries that same feel throughout. Vs’ EP Reality is available from digital vendors, but they wanted to give you a little taste of their sound. Here’s Vs’ “Listen” music video through their Vs the World YouTube channel – Richard:
Vs New Single “Listen”
Vs is coming at us with their single “Listen”. This is one that will hit all the alternative rock fans. If starts out with a peaceful feel for the first verse and then comes in heavy on the chorus, back to peaceful for the second verse and then heavy again for the reminder of the single. Vs has an EP planned for a Summer release so if you are looking for a new band in the alt. rock arena this will fill the void. Here’s Vs’ “Listen” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Hidden Cabins Music Video “Bet It All On You”
Hidden Cabins is sharing with our listeners their music video for their single “Bet It All On You”. This single and music video are for those that love the long play singles, with this one ranging in over 9 minutes in length. For me this type of single is one that you just hit play and then you just have to let yourself go and experience the music. The instrumentals are more of an acoustic sound keeping it simple in nature. The lead singer has a quality to it that made me think of the lead singers style for Crash Test Dummies that the Alt/Rock fans will be happy to hear. The music video itself is pretty simplistic to match the single. It has one constantly looping image that gets darker as it progresses to the end of the video until only the duos name, Hidden Cabins, is spotlighted. A nice piece of effect. Here’s Hidden Cabins music video for “Bet It All On You” through Blank TV’s YouTube channel – Richard:
They Call Him Zone’s Music Video for “Just Fall”
They Call Him Zone is sharing with us his music video for the single “Just Fall’. The single is from his upcoming Crow Swan Wolf album that is scheduled to release on February 20. “Just Fall” is an electro/rock/pop single, with the music video following suit in style. The rhythms of the single and the voice and way They Call Him Zone sang reminded me a lot of Billy Idol’s music. So if you are a fan of Idol this will be right up your alley. Here’s They Call Him Zone’s music video for “Just Fall” through his YouTube channel – Richard:
James Kruman gives a “Country Sigh”
James Kruman is sharing with our listeners his single “Country Sigh’. This single definitely rings true from the United Kingdom. “Country Sigh” is within the folk music, but with the stylings of the music and James’ voice it is very distinct and you know that it is a country/folk style from across the pond. James has a very deep bass voice that can be difficult for a singer. I’m interested in seeing what his other works sound like from his album Twitch. Here’s James Kruman’s music video for this single “Country Sigh” from his YouTube channel – Richard:
