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.
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:
Alec Chambers has a great sounding single on his hands. The rhythms are there, the hooks are there, and he has a nice clear voice. The only thing that might hold some back is his Tenor voice. I like his voice, but it will be compared to Justin Bieber’s voice and other boy band type voices. This isn’t to say his voice is bad, because it isn’t, he just needs to be prepared for that happening. Take a listen to Alec’s “Whole Again” through SoundCloud and see what you think – Richard
Upcoming Tour Dates:
December 6, 2014 | New York, NY @ Merkin Concert Hall supporting David Ippolito
January 5, 2015 | New York, NY @ The Bitter End
January 14, 2015 | New York, NY @ Rockwood Music Hall | 7:00PM
Jes has had a good November, with her release of “Sky Stand Still”. The single is the theme of the documentary The Principle. The single has a nice drum march beat to it that brings out the rhythm for people to get into. The song isn’t a fast beat dancing song, but more of a power ballad song. Jes’ voice fits perfectly and has a really nice sound quality. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard

Lady Low reworks the single “Baby Baby”, originally released by The Vibrators in ’77. If you are not prepared for Lady Low’s sound it will probably make you say what is going on. However, once you get into the song and the style that they are singing, which they have termed “Romance Rock”, it is almost hypnotic. The single is slowed down and the lower voice register they sing in is also drawn out in the lyrics. This is definitely mood music, so check it out by clicking the link provided to Nothing but Hope and Passion’s website – Richard:
Charlotte Eriksson (The Glass Child) gives a powerful performance with her release of “Who Am I”, from her album, I Must Be Gone and Live, or Stay and Die. At times her voice gets lost in the chorus, but that kind of fits the song, because we all get lost at times in our lives and wonder “Who Am I” or what is my purpose in life. You can tell that she puts her emotional experiences in her music, through her voice. Eager to see what else she might give us in the future. Check out “Who Am I” through SoundCloud below – Richard:
Lily Elise has generated an EP entitled Taken. We have the music video to her first single from Taken, “Generator”, from her YouTube channel.
She starts out with really a nice smooth ballad that she carries well with her Alto sound. Her voice is really clear in the recording and strong enough to stand out over the instruments. For a first single she has a nice sound and I am interested in what else she has for us on her EP – Richard:
Julius releases his second single “OhhBaby”, his first being “Falling on Hard Times”. Listening to both singles you can feel the classical influence he has with his experience as a composer. In “OhhBaby” you can hear a “march’ tempo with the drums that you would hear in a classical composition. Both songs are different in style, so it seems he is experimenting with his sound and his voice. Each song sounds nice and for only his first two singles Julius will be a performer to watch. Check out his two singles from SoundCloud below – Richard:

Andre Costello & the Cool Minors hit with a cool single for me. I enjoy Folk music and this is probably where they would fit the best. The single “Places” isn’t by any means a Folk Rock, but more in line with pure Folk to Folk Pop. It has a nice clear sound and the vocals are up front for everyone to enjoy while the instruments give a nice foundation for the single. If you are into Folk music you will definitely enjoy “Places”. Even if your not big into Folk give it a listen through the SoundCloud link below it has a catchy rhythm – Ricard:
