The Make Pretend’s is giving our listeners a taste of their style with their music video “Sorry I Let You Down”. The style of the single as well as how the music video was shot really harkens back to the late 1980’s, early 1990’s. Even the bands name The Make Pretend gives that 1980’s feeling. So everyone that loves that styling will dig this and the video to boot. “Sorry I Let You Down” is from the band’s album Fortune Factory which is available now and they are letting our listeners check out their video and then go pick up their album. And for those that still love a physical album the band is happy to say you have that option with Fortune Factory. Here’s The Make Pretend’s music video for “Sorry I Let You Down” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
If you like the hard rock/heavy metal sound you will love Ascending Dawn’s single “Cannonball”. The single has that hard driving beat and nice vocals that you will enjoy. The video uses black and white photography with quick cuts to make the video interesting. “Cannonball” is from the group’s upcoming LP Coalesce, which is scheduled for a December 1 release date. Here’s Ascending Dawn’s music video for “Cannonball” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
TRISTN is sharing with the ComicPop listeners again with her acoustical version of her single “Nothing to Say (Nothin’). The video that she is sharing is a studio video, so you get to see the group in a relaxed setting. Another great song for everyone to enjoy. So here’s TRISTN’s “Nothing to Say (Nothin’), from her upcoming album January, through Vevo’s website – Richard:
Sterling Rhyne is hitting the streets of New York with this Jazzy debut single “Remedy”. Some people on think of Jazz as being an instrumental genre, but Sterling is reminding everyone that vocals are a key part of the genre as well. This piece has an upbeat, fun feel to it so all our listeners check out Sterling Rhyne’s single “Remedy” through SoundCould – Richard:
Conventioner is a musician based out of Florida that is working on his Sophomore EP after his Legacy EP. He is giving ComicPop listeners a chance to sample his music with “Never Breaking”, one of his newer releases. The single is a synth ballad that flows over the listener. Not what you normally think of with synth and the dance floor, but for a change of pace to slow it down a bit it still works. Because you know every once in a while you need to slow it down on the dance floor. Check out Conventioner’s single “Never Breaking” through SoundCloud – Richard:

“Anywhere But Here” has a quiet opening and then around 26 seconds in the instruments fill in with an encompassing warm sound. Through the verse TRISTN builds up to the chorus then crescendos to give the single some kinetic energy. She backs off again with the second verse but with the crescendo for the second chorus she keeps that intensity through the rest of the song. Very nicely done and TRISTN is sharing her single “Anywhere But Here” with our listeners through SoundCloud, so enjoy – Richard:
Noah Parker is hitting a fun rhythmic beat with his single “Tomorrow’s Too Late” single. The single feels like a speed up pop/folk single with it being an acoustical piece. It starts out upbeat and stays true through the whole song. You just feel like Noah is having fun singing this piece and it comes through in his voice and with the catchy rhythm. This one will get you head to bobbing so have some fun with Noah Parker’s “Tomorrow’s Too Late” music video through his YouTube channel – Richard:
Sydney Lauren is sharing with the our listeners her lyric video for her single “Haunt Me”. This single has a driving bass beat that goes through out the whole song. It takes an interesting twist during the chorus when the bass has a distorted sound to it, but then comes back to the main drive during the verse. Sydney’s voice is nice and clear and is a pleasure to listen to. During the verse another technique is used to give the single more depth and that is the use of bells that you hear in the background. The single comes from Sydney’s Left in Motion EP that is available now and it gives the story of a person that is in a new relationship and is slowly seeing that you can’t let past bad relationships make you give up hope on a future one that might be good. Here’s Sydney Lauren’s lyric video for “Haunt Me” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
