Diaz Grimm’s Single “Quarterbacks”

muse_G8C3831(1)

Take a look at the music video that Diaz Grimm is sharing with us.  The single is entitled “Quarterbacks” and features Lukan Raisey and Spycc.  All of our fans that enjoy Rap will like this single.  The lyrics do get a little muddy at times, but over all I liked the single.  Diaz is taking the long trip from New Zealand to be at SXSW so take in his session if you are going to be there.  Now before you click the play button to the music video for “Quarterbacks” be warned that it is a mature video.  Other than that check out “Qarterbacks” from Diaz Grimm’s YouTube channel – Richard:

The Wyld Premieres Their Newest Single

Complex Premieres Latest Track
‘Odyssey’ From The Wyld

THE WYLDE’S NEW SINGLE

‘ODYSSEY’

PREMIERING NOW ON

COMPLEX MUSIC

 

The Wyld were nice enough to give away their debut album, ‘Preface‘, for free on Pigeons and Planes last month. Now they’re premiering their high octane new single, “Odyssey,” on Complex.
Stream it here.

The Wyld have a mix of Rap and Electronic Pop, very interesting.  This New Zealand group has the beats hitting you full force and the vocals are clear so you can enjoy the complete package.  That being said they have a sound that isn’t quite main stream, so it might take a few listens to let their music sink in.  Give them a chance you might find you enjoy them.  Click the links above to stream their song “Odyssey” and the Pigeons and Planes link to listen to their first full album.

New Zealand outfit The Wyld just finished recording Odyssey, along with the rest of their upcoming EP, Abstract, in the Red Bull Studios in Auckland.  Needless to say, the title is a perfect encapsulation of The Wyld’s gracious pairing of ballooning, smoothly layered lyrical flow and fever-pitch rhymes.  The song comes together strand by strand with drum beats, synths, Mo’s raps and Brandon Black’s welcomingly gentle harmonies weaving together a cord of musical adventure.

Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits with Six60’s Chris Mac

 

Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits.  In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60.  The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said.  Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2.  To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets.  If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album.  It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.
