Young Rising Sons are “Coming Home”

blackpandaPRyoung rising sons

Young Rising Sons is sharing their latest “Coming Home” music video with us.  This is a case of I enjoy the single, but the music video didn’t really work for me.  Others might watch the music video and enjoy it.  The single itself, “Coming Home’, I really like.  It has a nice beat and the vocals come in with confidence.  It’s not an upbeat song per say but it isn’t slow either.  It’s one you can just groove to and sing along with.  The music video is a different animal.  It opens up with a feeling of the movie The Purge and then it just shows a windshield as a car is driving down the road.  You think it’s a lyric video, but fooled you it’s not.  The text that comes on the screen is a different message from the song so it is a little distracting, but like I said above others will like it.  Here’s the music video for “Coming Home” that Young Rising Sons is sharing with us through their YouTube channel.  Check it out and enjoy the song – Richard:

Antigone Rising is a “Game Changer”

In the tradition of The Go-Go’s and The Bangles comes Antigone Rising, with their single “Game Changer”.  I love it…it’s an upbeat song that I always enjoy.  Antigone Rising has that rock feel, but listening to “Game Changer” I definitely hear a country sound in this single as well.  This would be a great cross-over song for them.  Check out Antigone Rising’s music video of “Game Changer” that they are sharing with us through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Netflix has begun streaming, through their YouTube channel, the teaser trailer for their next Marvel exclusive, Marvel’s Jessica Jones.  One of the many reason I wish we had Netflix.

Have you been keeping up with the Formic Wars?  Here is the trailer of Earth Awakens by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston through Tor/Forge’s YouTube channel.  I have to admit I haven’t been able to get to this one yet myself, it’s in my to read pile.

Giselle Mynx has “Sprung Free”

“Sprung Free” comes in strong with a heave base beat.  After the opening verse the single changes rhythm, it has a fun almost drumline beat in the transitions.  Then the single picks up speed again with Giselle’s lyrics.  Her voice reminds me a little of Juice Newton.  You can also tell that Giselle had fun with this single.  Take a listen to “Sprung Free” through SoundCloud to get your body moving this morning with this fun single – Richard:

Dioni is “Flirting with Reality” with Her Latest Single

Dioni gives another strong performance with her single “Flirting with Reality”.  The lyrics are of a serious nature, but the beat of the song makes it feel light in tone.  The single definitely has that European flare to its styling, which is why I like this new single.  Dioni has been kind enough to shear the lyric music video for “Flirting with Reality” on her YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy – Richard

“People’s Champ” Single from Forebear

Take a musical ride with Forebear with their single “People’s Champ”.  This to me is an experimental piece that some will get into right away and others might not.  The single has some good rhythms mixed together and Forebear even tests the perception of the groups singers and how the lyrics are sung.  Check out “People’s Champ” through SoundCloud, this might be one for you – Richard:
