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:
For everyone with a Vita, Atelier Ayesha Plus: The Alchemist of Dusk is scheduled to be released on January 13. Check out the trailer, which is almost like a J-Pop music video, from “CGR Trailers” YouTube channel:
Here’s one from one of our friends on Twitter, Spitty95, with the single “No Flex Zone”. Wasn’t thrilled with the opening, but once the song came into focus they had a real clear sound. Sometimes in Rap that can be a difficult thing. The sound is more of a mainstream rap, something you could hear on even a pop station. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it does give Spitty95 more crossover appeal. I have to comment, being a science fiction fan I loved the Back to the Future reference, it was fun to hear. Take a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard
Liam Neeson rocks in this franchise. I enjoyed the first to Taken’s and will probably enjoy this one as well. Neeson has this type of character down pat, I can see him doing more similar characters in the future. Check out Tak3n trailer from “20th Century Fox UK” YouTube channel:
Disgaea fans here’s one for you. The newest Makai Denki Disgaea 5 game is coming out March 26, for the PlayStation 4. Until then Nippon Ichi Software is wetting your appetites by streaming the main theme to the game. The theme is entitled “Kill Real” by Mamoru Miyano. Check it out through their YouTube channel:
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:
More cards for you Trading Card Game collectors out there. This time it is a Booster set for the DragonBall Z TCG, called “Heroes and Villians”. The booster set will have: 142 new cards; 24 rare cards; 8 foil parallels; and an unnumbered amount of ultra rares. The release date is scheduled for March 4.
“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:
