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.
Vok has given us a nice ballad to listen to with “Eg bio pin” (I’ll Wait for You). This is a very emotional and drawn out song. It has a little techno feel with slow jass mixed in for an interesting mix. The vocals are really clear, but don’t over power the music. If you are interested in exploring new music from other areas of our world check Vok out and you can listen to “I’ll Wait for You” here through SoundCloud – Richard:
Strange was the first word that popped into my head when I heard Vök’s new single. I was immediately interested when the song started and got into the instrumentals right away. It was very flowy and smooth which reminded me of The Neighborhood. Hearing sounds that would normally clash work together so well is always amazing to hear. My only problem is the vocalist. I didn’t mind her singing in a foreign language because if she puts her emotions into the song I’ll still understand what she’s saying. I just couldn’t get passed how mellow it sounded. The song as a whole was very much like water and I needed a rock to anchor myself. In this case the vocals are supposed to be my rock but they were just another current.

Check out Haley Pharo’s latest music video from her YouTube channel, “Sorry for Not Being Sorry”. It’s a pretty catchy tune. We will also be reviewing her album later this year. Thanks to Karla McDonald of the MuseBox for letting us know about Haley’s music video:
I really enjoyed the brief intro of “Prisoner” but I don’t think the feeling stayed for the whole song. It was a little too 90’s R&B for me. Neither the music nor Haley Pharo were very strong and clear. I like it when one or the other is strong so that the song doesn’t end up sounding mushy. I do get where Pharo is trying to go though and she’s on the right track. I liked the lighter melodies going along with a substantial bass, it just needs to be less muggy. Her music has a good beat that people will move to, as long as she keeps going in the direction I hope she is, she’ll do great.

This is were everyone can see that music hits people differently. I enjoyed “Prisoner” and look forward to hearing more from Haley. However, I am a Child of the ’80s/’90’s, which falls within what April was talking about. Also to me Haley’s voice – not style reminds me of Debbie Gibson’s, but that’s just me. – Richard
The music video is below so you can check Haley Pharo out yourself. It comes to us from “Haley Pharo” YouTube channel:
Young Rising Sons is my type of music! From their look to their sound everyone appeals to my tastes artistically. I always talk about wanting crisper vocals but sometimes the opposite works just as good-if not better. Having crisper instrumentals with a more static sound for vocals is brilliant and makes the music even more interesting. The lyrics are amazing, poetic and truthful. The instrumentals also stand on their own and keep the song moving and the listener interested because they aren’t too repetitive. Young Rising Sons is great and I think I just found my back to school obsession.

Comedy Central announced the release of their 80s love child, an animated series titled “Moonbeam City”.
The music scored in the venue is by sexy, electronic duo Night Club who also did all the music for the series! They successfully hang onto those deep synthy vibes that was the heart of 80s music.
Congratulations to Night Club. When you watch the trailer below you will definitely see why Night Club was tapped to score the music for the animated series. Thanks to Comedy Central for allow us to share the trailer to Moonbeam City:

Night Club is the duo Emily Kavanaugh, vocalist, and Mark Brooks, producer. They have a Synth Pop Dance feel to their music. You can here their music being played while you are out clubbing very easily. The beats tell your body “get up and dance!” and if nothing else you will be nodding your head to it. Having the duo cover INXS’ single “Need You Tonight” is completely appropriate. They have played with the cover oh so little. To me that makes this cover one of the better covers I’ve heard. Don’t take my word for it. The MuseBox is letting you listen to it below through SoundCloud – Richard
House of the Young Rising Sons: Dirty Canvas Music Launches Newest Band with Release of “High” Video
Artist development company headed by Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta reveals next big roster addition
“High” from Young Rising Sons definitely got me high. From the very beginning I loved it, any type of whistling usually wins me over. The voice is great and the lyrics mean something. It’s hard to find that now. I already liked the song from the very beginning, but when the bass came in it was game over. I was completely in love with this song. Anyone who reads my reviews know how much I love bass and this is another example of just how awesome it can be. The bass transformed the song from an ok song into an awesome song. It’s that extra umph that’s really needed to make a song.

Boy Epic’s ‘Paralyzed’ is the perfect example for less is more. The flowing, softer instrumental’s lets the listener actually hear the lyrics. The slower tempo also allows us to understand the lyrics. I love the new idea of how love feels, everyone’s heard tons of love songs and sometimes they can all start to blend together. ‘Paralyzed’ sticks out because of the ballad feel of it mixed with creative lyrics. The video went very well with the song, it complemented it in all the right ways. I’ve talked about how I hate videos that are just words but there is a difference between those videos and Boy Epic’s. Instead of forcing the listener to also read multiple slides he is keeping their interest by slowly unveiling what the picture and word is. It keeps the listener engaged and they’re less likely to exit out of the video. I also really enjoy Boy Epic’s unique sense of style and how he is photographed. Prince reboot, anyone?
