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.
Ghost Loft’s latest reflects the single’s title “Be Easy”. The rhythm and vocals are strong and sharp, but they flow smoothly or “Easy” on the listeners ears. Very nice sound and most will enjoy the single. It’s not a get up and dance song, just a nice flowing song. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
Life Leone is begin their tour to promote the EP Comes Crashing In, with the release of the single “I Can’t Say No” . The group definitely has that rocking feel and I see were they get the term fuzzy rock. With the guitar so loud it is the star of the music. However, the lyrics are decent and the lead singers voice sounds good. They don’t have to hide him, just let it all flow naturally and they would be even a more powerful rock group. Check out their single “I Can’t Say No” through SoundCloud it might be for you – Richard:

Jupiter Arista wants everyone to check out “Call Me”. If you are a fan of the disco era you will enjoy this single. Everything about this single screams disco and to me harkens back to something that Donna Summer would have done in the day. Sadly we are unavailable to let you listen to the single at this time, but look for it through this link to Surviving the Golden Age website: http://

The opening to “Any Day” by Jay Soul made me wonder if I was going to like this single. However, when Jay comes in with the bass beat I was hooked. I like the upbeat music that makes you want to move you body and “Any Day” does that. “Any Day” has an electro pop feel to it, but the instruments don’t over power Jay’s lyrics. It is a nice blend that makes you bob your head. Take a listen through SoundCloud, if you like the upbeat songs you will probably enjoy this single for Jay Soul – Richard:
Sun Gods to Gamma Rays gives us a single that has that other worldly feel just in time for the week of Halloween. “A Ghost to Find” is one that harkens back to the psychedelic sound of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. This is one that won’t make you jump up and dance it is more of a melodic tune where you put it in after a long day and relax. Check out Sun Gods to Gamma Rays music video for “A Ghost to Find” from their YouTube channel – Richard:

“Overdose” is the title track for Maudlin Strangers upcoming EP. This group has a smooth sound to them. The lead singer has a clear and strong voice that reaches over the instruments with little ease. The band has the restraint not to overpower the lead singer even though they have some strong beats going on. The song is very melodic and will almost hypnotize you with the flowing rhythm. Check out the music video on the groups YouTube channel – Richard:
Upcoming Tour Dates:
11/12/14 – Los Angeles, CA at Hemmingway’s Lounge

Coming out of Brooklyn is the trio Little Daylight with their single “My Life”. “My Life” has a catchy rhythm that is infectious to me. The vocals are light and poppy, which isn’t a bad thing. I enjoy songs that have a light feel to them and just make you want to move your body. There is to much harshness in this world that it needs to be broken up with a little bit of fun. Little Daylight has that electro/pop feel in this song, that brings the fun. Hopefully, they will continue to have fun with their music, we all need that spot of sunlight. Take a look at their music video for “My Life” from their YouTube channel and let your body get to moving with Little Daylight – Richard:
