We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Year of October has a blending of Blues and Rock and that is evident in their latest single “Gone”. The verse with Phlecia carries the bluesy feel, but then the song takes a step back for Josh to do a rock guitar riff. This is an interesting mix and it worked for me. Check out “Gone” through SoundCloud below – Richard:
Harris Hawk gives everyone a nice hard rock single with “Farpoint”. This is one that hard rock fans will enjoy. There is a short bridge where the song softens a little, but it is primarily in your face with electric guitar the featured piece in the driving beat. Rock out with Harris Hawk through SoundCloud below – Richard:
“Too Late”, from What Model Citizens, has a strong 1980’s synth feel. Kind of in the vain of Devo and other groups like that. The Music Video definitely leans toward the Steampunk genre and the song lends itself well to that genre as well. So if you are into Steampunk or the synth music check out the music video below from Vimeo – Richard:

The Cabana Kids latest single “Sortida’ gives you that late 1960’s to 1970’s feel to me. The vocals and instruments give a nice counter balance to each other and the “aahs” gives it an other worldly or what some might say the “feel good feeling” feel to the single. This would also appeal to what I would call the hipster scene very easily. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
I know the holiday season is technically over, but I just returned from my holiday trips. I promised Melissa, of City Bird Publicity I would get these last two songs up even if I had to do it after the holidays. The first is Ewa Angeli with “In Night’s Still Silence and then Jes wraps up the holiday tunes with “Merry Little Christmas”. Thank you to Melissa and City Bird Publicity for a great 2014 and can’t wait to see what music is in store for us for 2015.
Another Christmas treat from Melissa and the gang at City Bird Publicity. Thanks so much and enjoy Hellbirds rendition of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”:
Thanks to Melissa and City Bird Publicity for making 2014 a great year. They have given us the gift of music and during the holidays they have given us additional Christmas songs from some of their artists. First up is Kristopher James with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” through SoundCloud:
“Medicate the Babies Awake”, by The Great Work, has that Apocalyptic feel to it that several Hard Rock Bands have done. If you like Linkin Park, Pierce the Veil, and other bands like them you will more than likely get into The Great Work. Take a listen to “Medicate the Babies Awake” through SoundCloud below – Richard
Jes has had a good November, with her release of “Sky Stand Still”. The single is the theme of the documentary The Principle. The single has a nice drum march beat to it that brings out the rhythm for people to get into. The song isn’t a fast beat dancing song, but more of a power ballad song. Jes’ voice fits perfectly and has a really nice sound quality. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
Andre Costello & the Cool Minors hit with a cool single for me. I enjoy Folk music and this is probably where they would fit the best. The single “Places” isn’t by any means a Folk Rock, but more in line with pure Folk to Folk Pop. It has a nice clear sound and the vocals are up front for everyone to enjoy while the instruments give a nice foundation for the single. If you are into Folk music you will definitely enjoy “Places”. Even if your not big into Folk give it a listen through the SoundCloud link below it has a catchy rhythm – Ricard:
