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.
MIRK has given us a sneak peek of their upcoming album Run, which the single “Rocketship”. This is one that will get your head a bobbing. The rhythm of the single is very catchy. It sounds like they had fun while singing “Rocketship”. I believe most people will gravitate to this song because of the catchy rhythm and lyrics. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
Adrian Croom comes to with an instrumental that has flavors of hip/hop and traditional elements. I wasn’t sure what to expect from his single “Fast Forward”, but I listened to it and came away enjoying it. I like the simple style in my music at times and with “Fast Forward: having the piano present through the whole song I really enjoyed. When the hip/hop comes in it takes a shift for me and almost feels like a futuristic sound that you would find in a science fiction movie. Can’t wait to hear move from Adrian myself, but you can check out “Fast Forward” below through SoundCloud – Richard:
Karla MCDonald sends us a Christmas gift with the Angry Birds music video, coming to us from the folks at The MuseBox and Rovio Entertainment. We have had a great year with The MuseBox and can’t wait for next year. Enjoy “Santamental Me” performed by Max C.:
Life Leone gives us the music video to their single “I Can’t Say No”. For some reason from what I have heard of their music just hits me right. They have an almost ’80’s/’90’s Boss sound, but with an edge. The video serves the song well, but I tend to like the story videos than band videos. That’s just me…take a look at it through the band’s YouTube channel and enjoy – Richard
Riot Police is for individuals that like high pitched singers. When the lead started singing “She Knows” in his high register I felt a Maroon 5 influence. Even with the higher notes the vocalist is able to keep the lyrics clear and they keep the instrumentalist at a lower volume so not to interfere with the lead singer. Check out their video for “She Knows” from the bands YouTube Channel – Richard
Layne follows up her first single with an upbeat single entitled “I’d Go To Space With You”. This is a fun song that to harkens back to the songs from the late ’80’s. Just a fun song to get up and move your body to. Check it out through SoundCloud:

Life Leone is begin their tour to promote the EP Comes Crashing In, with the release of the single “I Can’t Say No” . The group definitely has that rocking feel and I see were they get the term fuzzy rock. With the guitar so loud it is the star of the music. However, the lyrics are decent and the lead singers voice sounds good. They don’t have to hide him, just let it all flow naturally and they would be even a more powerful rock group. Check out their single “I Can’t Say No” through SoundCloud it might be for you – Richard:

Layne Putnam breaks out with here debut single “Warrior”. This single has a great feel to it. It isn’t slow or fast, but kind of in between. The verse is nice an clear and concentrates on Layne’s vocals and then when the chorus comes in the heavy bass beat comes in to get your had to rocking. Her voice within the chorus is mixed in with the instruments, but it isn’t completely lost, however to me the chorus feels like it was purposely made to spotlight the instruments more than her voice. Check it out through SoundCloud I think you will like it- Richard
