Derek Nicoletto and his band Foam Ropes’ recent single “Potion me Well” has a Southern Rock feel to it. So when one listens to it you get that back home country rock feel which has a strong beat to it. The music video that the band did for the single kind of goes in a very different direction though. It has apartment and dance studio scenes to it which felt a little disconnected to the style of the music. This is one that should have been filmed on a farm or range and it would have meshed with the single better. To me the Southern Rock fans will love “Potion me Well”, so download the song and jam out to it. You can check out the music video here from the bands YouTube channel – Richard:
Alpine Camp has No “Regrets of a Cosmic Mountaineer
Ariel and The Alpine Camp has given us “Regrets of a Cosmic Mountaineer” to share with you. The Alpine Camp are a folk band, but with “Regrets” it is like a folk song on speed. It has the elements of a folk song, but the band has fun with the single by speeding it up, which makes “Regrets” become infectious. Take a listen to “Regrets of a Cosmic Mountaineer” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Taylor Casey’s “The Kindness of Others” Single
Taylor Casey has that folk song quality to his music. That quality comes through loud and clear in his single “The Kindness of Others”. The folk genre is one of those in between genres that will appeal to rock listeners as well as country listeners. I really enjoyed “The Kindness of Others” and can’t wait to hear his other offerings. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
STASH has fun with “Strip Me Bare”
STASH hits the scene with their elctropop dance single “Strip Me Bare”. With this single Amanda Maze brings the listener in with her pop sound and then Steph Prost hits you with her rapping. This is a very nice blend that we have seen others do with the pop and rap mixture and it fits this single well. The music and video that goes with it gives you a 1990’s dance club feel. Very energizing and I can’t wait to hear what else they have. Check out STASH’s music video for “Strip Me Bare” through their Vevo YouTube channel – Richard:
“Lemonade City” Freshly Squeezed by Meresha
Thanks to Brooke of CyberPR for sending us another artist to look at. This time it is Meresha with her EP New Revolution. We get to hear “Lemonade City”. Meresha has a lower sultry voice that places her sound within the R&B genre. However, in “Lemonade City’ you can hear elements of the Pop genre as well. Take a listen to Meresha through the YouTube channel “Various Artists” and see what you think of “Lemonade City” – Richard
Blade of Grass Hits the Ground “Dancing”
Thanks to Brooke of Cyber PR for sharing with us Blade of Grass. In the single I picked from this duo, “Dance to the Radio” has a sound quality of something that you would hear from The Stray Cats. This is just one of their many sounds. These guys are very diverse. Visit their site at http://bladeofgrassmusic.com/ to listen to other songs and pick up some of there music through your favorite digital download app. You can listen to “Dance to the Radio” and “Be Here Now” through SoundCloud to get a sampling of Blade of Grass – Richard:
Live Hart Brings a Smooth Sound
Live Hart is a young woman that sounds confident in her singing. She has a smooth Jazz/Soul sound. Listening to the samples I’ve listen to so far is that she doesn’t strain her voice to hit notes that are out of her range. She knows her voice and works it beautifully. Check out her song “Please Don’t Say It’s Over” from her YouTube channel. Live Hart won’t disappoint – Richard
War Poets Single “The Siren Sings This Canticle”
Check out War Poets single “The Siren Sings This Canticle”. The group has a nice clean sound to them and their voices blend well together. If their other songs are like this I’m going to be pleased. You don’t always have to have the blaring music to produce a quality song. Check out their music video for “The Siren Sings This Canticle” through their YouTube channel – Richard
Fractal Control is “Starved for Change”
Mike Louttit is the force behind the band Fractal Control. This band is unique in this day and age because the are an instrumental band. This is a daunting challenge in today’s market place. However, if you give Fractal Control a chance I think most of you will dig them. They are a rock band, you just have to be willing to experience their music and let your imagination take control. Their latest single is “Starved for Change”. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
Lindsay Mac Debut Single “Remember”
The first thing that popped into my head at the beginning of Lindasy Mac’s “Remember” was….Owl City. This single really harkens to his style. It is very upbeat in tempo and her voice is very clear. I love this style myself and hope she continued on for the rest of her EP entitled Animal Again. Can’t wait to her more from Lindsay, but until then check out “Remember” through SoundCloud – Richard:
