LP lends Her Music to Dance Video

lpLil-Buck

Lil Buck was introduced to LP’s debut album Forever For Now via Sol Guy and he said it INSPIRED him. All he wanted to do was dance to it. The two began discussing different artists and their particular roots of inspiration. Bruce Lee was another one of those for Lil Buck. They combined Bruce’s philosophy, LP’s haunting track and Lil Buck’s jaw dropping, bone breaking dancing into a mind-blowing celebration.

Lil Buck to the title track “Forever For Now” and put dance to it, what he calls Memphis Jookin.  Lil Buck gives some narrative to his dance and then it goes into the lyrics.  The video is shot in black and white which makes it a little haunting.  You can definitely tell that his influence is from Bruce Lee.  The video was done for a new upcoming show called The Talent Show, created by Sol Guy that travels to find arts that inspires individual.  It is a cool video with LP’s music and looks to be an interesting show.  Check it out from “Sol Guy’s” YouTube Channel – Richard:

Gladshot’s EP “Maxwell’s Cool Demon”

gladshot

Gladshot is a group that gets it’s style from the late 1960’s. Their music is like a funkedelic type music (mix between funk and psychedelic music). The beats are “trippy” and the lyrics are “wavy”, but understandable, which is difficult for this type of music. A lot of times the lyrics get lost in the mumbling. Gladshot doesn’t do that, one can enjoy the rhythm and the lyrics both. This will be an acquired taste for individuals, but for the style of music they play Gladshot is one to check out. – Richard

We don’t have a sample of Gladshot’s music from their EP Maxwell’s Cool Demon, but if you follow the link it will take you to their website to give them a listen: http://www.gladshot.com/

We will also be featuring them in a podcast review for next month.

Powers’ Lets us “Touch the World”

blackpandaPRpowers

Powers’ doesn’t really want to be placed in a specific genre, so each individual song can have a different feel to it.  With “Touch the World”, Powers’ goes into an Electric Techno feeling type of music.  Once you get into the song it has a catchy rhythm and lyrics.  They don’t dive to much into the the Techno feel so I think everyone will enjoy this.  Plus how can I not like a song referencing a comic book character.  For those of you that know me will understand that comment.  Anyway you don’t have to take my word for it Powers’ has made this available for you to listen to and watch their music video through their YouTube channel – Richard

Lexie Roth’s Latest Single “Lost Memory”

 

blackpandaPRlexie roth

I can’t quite wrap my head around Lexie Roth’s music. Her instrumentals are soft and smooth, even when they pick up the pace a bit, but her voice is not. I feel like her voice was a little harsh for the song. She stuck out because she didn’t quite mesh well with the background music. The song in general I couldn’t get into either. It seemed rather monotone and I didn’t feel like it had any build up. It was relatively flat and I found it hard to listen to. None the less, Lexie does have a nice voice and if she finds the right sound for her I think she’ll go far.

-April B.

I’ve listened to Lexie Roth before and I do enjoy here voice.  I believe this particular single just has to much behind her with the instruments.  The instruments seem to be competing with her voice and kind of over powers it.  This is unfortunate because as I said Lexie has a voice that I enjoy listening to.  Check “Lost Memory” out provide to us from SoundCloud and check out her other singles as well.  I think overall you will like her sound. – Richard

Neighbourhood Gives Us a Rap Feel

blackpandaPRneighbourhood1

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
DEBUT NEW TRACK
“The Neighbourhood aren’t a group usually associated with hip-hop – but they soon will be. They’re putting together a new mixtape – titled #000000 & #FFFFFF – which features a bunch of up-and-coming rap stars. They’ve put out three tracks and we’ve got the exclusive on the fourth. It’s called “Jealousy” and features Casey Veggies and 100s – the latter of whom has literally teleported down from the purple mothership where Andre 3000, Prince, and George Clinton reside.”
Who is this and what have they done with The Neighbourhood? I am confused by all of this. It’s not The Neighbourhoods style at all and I can’t figure out why they made the decision to feature rappers. I like rap fine but it shouldn’t be paired with The Neighbourhood. I didn’t enjoy the song and really hope they don’t do anything like this at all. The only part I was sort of into was the chorus but even that was a bit iffy for me. I love The Neighbourhood but this is too much of a stretch for me.

-April B.

This is quite a departure for The Neighbourhood and I can see how some people will be as April said “confused”.  For those that have not grown accustomed to The Neighbourhood they will see this as a rap or hip-hop song and go on their way.  It is definitely one that people will like or not.  Check it out from SoundCloud below and see what you think, you might enjoy it. – Richard

Tanner releases “Come Alive” Music Video

blackpandaPRtanner

Make way for Tanner Stewart, a rising rock vocalist putting his stamp on the musical landscape.  Tanner’s self-titled debut EP will be released June 5, 2014. Check out the second single “Come Alive,” out now.

I love the edgy, raw sound to Tanner’s music. It’s rough and imperfect and I love that. The old school rock feel is easy to beat my head to and instantly interested me. The lyrics are great in ‘Come Alive’ and Tanner’s voice is awesome. His voice suits the music and makes sense. The music was soothing and edgy at the same time. Tanner’s definitely peaked my interest and I think he’s got a bright future in front of him.

-April B.

Check out his “Come Alive” music video here from his “Tanner” YouTube Channel:

Raw Fabrics Gives us “Down the Drain”

blackpandaPRraw fabrics

Raw Fabrics are an L.A.-based trio of 21-year-olds with an armload of anthemic songs that mix the driving bass lines of modern dance-punk bands with production sheen of modern radio bands.

Raw Fabrics music is unique in the best way possible. Their use of guitar and a kit mixed with a couple of other mixes sounds awesome and they should definitely stick to it. The lyrics are just as good and works really well with the instrumentals. From the catchy rhythm to unforgettable lyrics–Raw Fabrics has it all! I will keep a very keen eye out for this group and I think anyone who is a fan of music in general should too.

-April B.

Thanks to Black Panda PR for alerting us of Raw Fabrics.  You can listen to their music on their SoundCloud account here: https://soundcloud.com/rawfabrics

LP is Strutting Her Stuff

blackpandaPRlp

 

LP
REVEALS TWO NEW TRACKS
FROM DEBUT ALBUM FOREVER FOR NOW
Celebrated singer/songwriter and performer extraordinaire LP will launch a pre-order for her upcoming debut album, Forever For Now, beginning today May 6th. Those who pre-order the album here will receive an instant download of her current single “Night Like This.” Those who pre-order will also receive two additional tracks from the album, “Tokyo Sunrise” and “One Last Mistake,” on May 19th. LISTEN NOW!
 
LP has crafted a deeply personal and emotive collection of songs for Forever For Now. She shares her journey making the album in the Forever For Now album trailer, which can be viewed here. A vital piece of content, the trailer gives viewers a closer look at this very special and unique talent. 
LP is different to say the least. After listening to her two new songs, “One Last Mistake” and “Tokyo Sunrise”, I have mixed emotions. I liked the instrumentals and the beginning of each song. They sounded awesome and I got into it quickly. My only negative might be her voice, she has a good voice but I don’t know if it suits this particular music style. To me it sounds strange with her instrumentals but I can tell she’s talented. Another minor detail that bugged me was the name LP. It sounds a lot like EP to me and I got really confused just trying to figure out the name she goes by.

-April B.

April has not heard very much of Stevie Nicks.  LP’s voice really reminds me of Stevie Nicks’ voice.  The songs are good and if you like the Stevie Nicks feel you will like LP.  Give her a try and you can listen to her single “One Last Mistake” and “Tokyo Sunrise” from SoundCloud below. – Richard

Maudlin Strangers’ Remix of Bass Science’s Overdose

blackpandaPRmaudlin strangers

MAUDLIN STRANGERS
UNVEIL
LISTEN @ EARMILK
DEBUT EP COMING SUMMER 2014
 
Maudlin Strangers is the Los Angeles based solo project of Jake Hays, a multi instrumentalist/vocalist, who tracked, engineered, and produced his forthcoming Overdose EP all from his bedroom in Agoura Hills, CA. He creates haunting musical soundscapes you’ll never forget.
 
Maudlin Strangers’ highly anticipated debut EP will be out later this summer.

I was a little on the fence about Maudlin Strangers’ remix of “Overdose” but was soon run over. As soon as the lyrics came in with the slow, heavy bass I fell in love. The creativity and skills it takes to do a remix (a good one at that) is underappreciated. They give this song a breath of fresh air. I actually started looking for more of their music after listening to this. The lighter sounds on top of the bass gave it all more depth and made sure the listener never got bored. My only critique is the very beginning before the lyrics started; it doesn’t fit the song at all and sounds weird.

-April B.
