23rd Hour’s Shares “Hypothetically” Music Video

23rd Hour is made up of the duo Sherry-Lynn Lee and George Paolini and they are sharing with us their music video “Hypothetically”.  The single itself is a cross between lounge room and western elements.  Sherry-Lynn has this powerful voice that comes in and the two mix it well with George’s softer lower voice and the way they sing it reminds you of a lounge room atmosphere or club even.  The instrumentals are acoustical and then one instrument that sways the listener into the western genre is the steel guitar.  The music video itself is an in studio filming of the two singing “Hypothetically” and spotlights the two individually and also that steel guitar I mentioned.  If to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life here’s 23rd Hour’s “Hypothetically” music video, through their YouTube channel, and keep a look out for their album Perfect Strangers slated to come out later this month – Richard:

Janet Blair’s Single “Eternity Grows”

Janet Blair gives our listeners a chance to check out her single “Eternity Grows”.  With this single Janet falls what I would say is a Pop/Folk music style.  I enjoy how the piano is playing staccato for the verse.  For me when music is played that way it makes me want to get into the music and have fun.  When Janet hits the chorus the single takes on a fullness that has the listener taking off and soaring.  I’m interested in what else she has planned.  Have fun with Janet Blair’s “Eternity Grows” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Judge Roughneck’s Latest Single “The Girl”

Judge Roughneck is sharing with our listeners again, this time it is for their current single “The Girl”.  Still enjoy the horns and reggae beat that Judge Roughneck gives us.  In “The Girl” they have a smooth sound for the chorus that even calls into mind the beach songs of the day, while the verse is where you get the most reggae feel.  A fun smooth sound to begin the coming of Spring and into the Summer beach music.  Find that groove with Judge Roughneck’s “The Girl” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Among Criminals New Single “Patience and Regret”

Among Criminals is sharing their new single “Patience and Regret” from their upcoming album Kill the Precedent.  With “Patience and Regret” I’m getting a 1970’s feel at the start, with the guitar section giving a Vietnam era vibe.  When they get to the chorus they shift into a driven beat.  Definitely a rock band with the rhythms hitting you with a steady stream.  I’m looking forward to what else they will have on their album. Rock it out with Among Criminals’ “Patience and Regret” through SoundCloud and be sure to keep an eye out for their upcoming album Kill the Precedent – Richard

Nozart Single “Puppet”

Nozart, lead by composer/pianist/producer Noah Kellman, is sharing their single “Puppet” with our listeners.  “Puppet” will be one that our alternative rock and I believe our steampunk rock listeners will get into with ease.  I myself love the instrumentals and would love to have Nozart do a pure instrumental song, the opening is just right up my alley.  However, I realize that an instrumental piece is probably the most daunting of releases.  However, Nozart is definitely playing to their fan base and genre.  The vocals stay just above the instruments so listeners can enjoy the lyrics, but if this is going to be their style they’ll have to watch that they don’t let the instrumentals overpower the vocals.  For me this hits a genre I enjoy and I think it will for others as well.  Here’s Nozart’s “Puppet” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Jetty Rae’s Single “Take Me To The Mountain”

Jetty Rae is sharing with our listeners her single “Take Me to the Mountain”.  Jetty is playing with two different styles of music with this single.  I definitely hear a country blend with the instrumentals, but they are slowed down and her singing the lyrics is dragged out like you would hear in a psychedelic single.  This might be a little bit of a challenge for new listeners, but for individuals that enjoy the psychedelic feel will get into this single.  For me liking more upbeat songs, this is a mood piece for me and when they mood hits it fits.  Here’s Jetty Rae’s “Take Me to the Mountain” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Beau + Luci’s Single “Fire Dancer”

Beau + Luci is sharing with our listeners their single “Fire Dancer”.  This single is the title track from their upcoming EP Fire Dancer, scheduled for release March 3.  Judging by this single Beau + Luci’s style is country/rock.  The single has a great beat to it with both voices harmonizing nicely to give the single a bit of otherworldly feel to it.  For book lovers this next little tidbit is interesting.  Within the description of this single it says that “Fire Dancer” is inspired by Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart Trilogy.  Kind of cool!  Here’s Beau + Luci’s “Fire Dancer” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Down On Maddy’s Single “Titania”

Down on Maddy is the stage name of a new experimental/alternative rock artist.  Today he is sharing with our listeners his single “Titania”.  With this single you get several different rhythms with the song.  This shifting can be a little jarring, but for those that like experimental rock will dig it.  Down on Maddy to an interesting approach with his vocals for this single as well.  With having the experimental feel with this single he also threw in lyrics that are drawn out to create a psychedelic sound.  So fans of experimental rock enjoy Down on Maddy’s single “Titania” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Polar Waves Single “Stoner”

Polar Waves is hitting it out of the park with their first single, “Stoner”, from their upcoming album No One Needs Help Anymore.  I think many of our listeners will enjoy this nice clean rock song.  You have you hard beats coming at you with the slightly gruff vocals that come together and form what I think and should be the bands signature style.  I’m eager to hear what else they will be giving us to enjoy.  Here’s Polar Wave’s “Stoner” for everyone to rock to through SoundCloud – Richard:

Judge Roughneck Looks in the “Mirror in the Bathroom”

Judge Roughneck is sharing the music video for their reggae infused single “Mirror in the Bathroom”, featuring Angelo Moore.  I love reggae and this definitely has that influence.  However, with all the brass that they have introduced with this single I gives it a jazzy feel as well.  These gentlemen are throwing out their fourteenth album, Pick You Up, that “Mirror in the Bathroom” is a part of.  The group looks like a they are enjoying themselves, which is conveyed in the music video that is a simple studio shoot.  Join Judge Roughneck for some jazzy island music through their YouTube channel with “Mirror in the Bathroom” – Richard:
