Third Base gives us a remix of Morgan Shaughnessy single “Invincible”. I don’t always like remixes, however with “Invincible” it worked for me. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
Syre & Fresko’s Latest “Gonna See Miracles”
Syre & Fresko’s “Gonna See Miracles” has a great native feel to it. With the steady drum beats that get your body to moving. The chorus is very catchy and the bridge they us at the beginning of the song and between the chorus and new verse is reminiscent of something from Phillip Phillips or Mumford and Sons. I would say this particular song feels like pop folk and many of you will enjoy it. I enjoyed Syre & Fresko and hope to hear more from them. Give it a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard:
ComicPop Spottiness
I want to take some time here and explain why the site has been spotty lately. With the holiday season I end up taking quite a bit of time off to use my vacation. When I take the time off it is usually away from everything including the computer. Then this past week I had an additional issue come up with a death in the family. So I apologize for the spottiness and because of this I will be uploading a lot of posts to catch up, which include several posts from our Indie Music friends. Take care everyone and happy holidays.
The Great Work Releases Latest Single “Medicate the Babies Awake
“Medicate the Babies Awake”, by The Great Work, has that Apocalyptic feel to it that several Hard Rock Bands have done. If you like Linkin Park, Pierce the Veil, and other bands like them you will more than likely get into The Great Work. Take a listen to “Medicate the Babies Awake” through SoundCloud below – Richard
Torsha Lynn’s Debut Single “Supa Baddd”
Torsha Lynn has a very nice voice. For “Supa Baddd”, her debut single, she gives us a R&B/Hip Hop feel. Torsha has a great R&B voice, but the beat for the single has the Hip Hop feel. The higher and lower voice that is sprinkled throughout the song I did not appreciate, but others might like. I think Torsha’s voice alone could carry the song and didn’t need the extra theatrics. Love to hear more from her to see what direction she will lean toward as a genre. Check out “Supa Baddd” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Lady Low’s Latest “When I Do Wrong”
I don’t know why but this song just hit me just right. Like Lady Low’s previous single this single, “When I Do Wrong” isn’t one that will get you up moving. It is a slower song, but that is their intent. The lyrics and instruments are simple, but evocative. Give “When I Do Wrong” a listen through SoundCloud – Richard
“You Got it Bad” Cover by Janine and The Mixtape
Janine and the Mixtape have got a nice groove on their cover of ‘You Got It Bad”. This is definitely mood music that you would have playing in the background during an evening. Check out “You Got It Bad” through SoundCloud – Richard
Riot Police Release their Single “She Knows”
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
