Julia Weldon’s latest Music Video

JULIA WELDON
PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR 
“YOU NEVER KNOW”

“You Never Know” is one of themost vulnerable tracks on Julia Weldon’s sophomore album Light Is a Ghost.

Produced by Saul MacWilliams (Ingrid Michaelson, Dan Romer) and featuring Adam Christgau (Sia, Tegan and Sara) on drums, the album showcases Weldon’s storytelling, voice, and unmistakable charisma.

She draws on everything from indie folk to blues rock, dialoguing with current artists like Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and Cat Power as well as legends like Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith and Suzanne Vega.

Julia Weldon’s possessing personality and captivating music crosses bridges and divides. With unfailing fingers, she tells stories that feel both intensely personal and widely universal. Unapologetically herself, Weldon’s songs grab you— asking you to pull up a chair, pour yourself a whiskey, and stay a while.

The song overall I liked.  I was a little zoned out at the beginning because the intro was a little too long and she didn’t actually start singing until a bet later than what I would’ve liked.  Be careful not to lose the audience.  I like that you went with a melodic song and really enjoyed the lyrics to.  I think the beginning of the video was really confusing and it could have been executed a bit differently.  Overall I think Julia has a lot of great things going for her and is looking at a bright future of growing and conquering.  April B.

The Neighbourhood Releases “Afraid” Music Video & Tour Dates



 
 
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PREMIERES
NEW VIDEO FOR “AFRAID”
 
 
 
HIT SINGLE “SWEATER WEATHER” IS
CERTIFIED GOLD BY THE RIAA
 
HEADLINE TOUR INCLUDES SOLD-OUT SHOWS AT NEW YORK’S TERMINAL 5 AND LOS ANGELES’ PALLADIUM
 
(New York, NY; Columbia Records; October 17, 2013) – Los Angeles five-piece The Neighbourhood has premiered a brand new video for “Afraid” today at VEVO.com. The video was directed by ENDS (Zachary Sekuler and Daniel Iglesias, Jr.), who also worked with the band on the video for hit single “Sweater Weather.” Praised by Billboard for its “edgy, subtle hooks,” “Afraid” is the second single from the band’s debut LP I Love You., which was released earlier this year on Columbia Records.
 
This is a powerful song and video.  When you click over to the video, it will give you warnings that it is explicit and if you have seizures you might not want to view the video.  It is a little depressing, but as April always says, sometimes you need this type of song (paraphrasing of course).  Check it out above and then below, if you like what you hear, you can check out their tour dates.

Julia Weldon releases Careful in the Dark Music Video

JULIA WELDON

PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR 
“CAREFUL IN THE DARK”

“Careful in the Dark,” is heavy on narrative. Visually resplendent and with costume design reminiscent of the fantastic work in Wes Andersen’s Moonrise Kingdom, it initially explores natural beauty and territory.

At first it seems it’ll be about two lovers’ virgin adventure into uncharted territory. In some sense it is, but that uncharted territory turns out to be riddled with obstacles. Moving from wrestling matches to pillow fights, the video charts the course of a relationship, through its highs and lows. As Julia sings that she is “hopelessly drawn to the battle and the blood,” we see why: the drama is engrossing, and even when it’s bad, it’s intense, full of meaning.

This is a very simple song with a slight folk sound.  As mention above its about relationships and how they have there ups and downs.  The main thing to remember is you have to work on relationships.  Sometimes people take the easy way out, but if you go through those rough patches the relationship grows stronger.  So I like that Julia kept this song simple and told a story with it.  You can check out the video here from Julia’s YouTube page:

Metropolis America’s latest Single and Music Video

Metropolis America
Release “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” Video
Indie – Steedog Records

METROPOLIS AMERICA RELEASE VIDEO “A STOLEN HEART IN A STOLEN CAR”   “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” is an ode to the recklessness of youth. It’s about living in the moment, transgressing boundaries, and feeling the euphoria that comes with not giving a fuck.   Its video, perfectly captures the essence of that rebelliousness. Focusing on two girls who have run away from home and rejected the banality of their formal existence, their escape is alive with the feeling of being young and drunk on life, drunk on possibility but also on drama.

The video is directed by Mate Valtr and produced by Brian Sperber and their efforts and production show a clean short film that has the beginning, middle, and end.  These are the types of music videos I appreciate because they tell the story from the song.  Their hard work has paid off by giving Metropolis America a great music video to go with a great song.  Check it out below from Metropolis America’s YouTube channel:

Brick & Mortar EP is Out


BRICK & MORTAR

FRESH OFF LOLLAPALOOZA
 
 
BANGS EP OUT NOW
Stream it HERE
Like a dream collaboration between Sleigh Bells, Alt-J, and Arctic Monkeys, Brick & Mortar make beat-heavy rock
that’s both sonically detailed and undeniably infectious.
Watch the video for “Bangs” HERE
 
“Locked In A Cage” Premieres on Crave
“Keep This Place Beautiful” Premieres on EARMILK
“Terrible Things” Premieres on Pigeons & Planes
“No, I Won’t Go” Premieres on ArtistDirect
 Hey gang I just listened to some of Brick & Mortars singles.  This one is kind of a hard one to pin down for me.  I can hear different influences in the different titles.  In “Bangs” you definitely hear the hard rock influence, but then you have some traditional rock feel and alternative rock in another.  So the band is kind of all over for me, which isn’t a bad thing, it means they have variety on their EP.  What I really enjoy is that no matter what the style you can clearly hear and understand the lead vocals.  Kind of hard to do with some of the styles they perform.
Asbury Park, NJ’s Brick & Mortar are Brandon Asraf (bass, vocals) and John Tacon (drums, samples, vocals). The duo may have chosen to name themselves after building essentials, but at this point, they’re veritably blowing up.

New High Wire Music Video


THE HIGH WIRE
 LNOE Video
Released 29 July 2013
Starring Ray Winstone
Directed by Mat Whitecross

This video and song are not going to make you want to get up and dance, but not all songs are meant to do that. This is one that makes you slow down and think. Check out The High Wire’s music video here or click on the link below to show them your support.

To coincide with the release of LNOE as a single on 29 July 2013, The High Wire are now sharing the official video. Directed by Mat Whitecross (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, The Road To Guantanamo, Spike Island) and starring Ray Winstone, the video is set against the backdrop of Whitecross’ stunning film noir Ashes (2013) – an engrossing rumination on love over time, plagued by unanswered questions and lingering sadness.  Beautifully shot, it centers on Alzheimers-afflicted Frank (Winstone), whose surroundings are constantly changing and out of focus. Highlighting Frank’s condition and past relationship with his wife (played by Lesley Manville), the video perfectly suits the darker emotional undercurrent of the track. By turns abstract and heart wrenching, the video shares the apocalyptic bent of Fight Club’s skyscraper climax, fitting for a song as massive as LNOE.
