Psychocide’s Music Video for “Mr. Suit”

Psychocide is slamming it with their hard rock/psychedelic style.  The group’s album, Alcohol & Bad Decisions, is available now that you can find at your digital vendor of choice.  Psychocide is sharing with us their music video for their single “Mr. Suit” which takes on the adage of what goes around comes around.  I am definitely interested in checking out the rest of the album after hearing “Mr. Suit” and I think any hard rock fan will.  Here’s Psychocide’s music video “Mr. Suit” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Narrow Waves’ Single “Hear Me Out”

Narrow Waves wants you to catch their wave with their single “Hear Me Out”.  This single takes the folk sound and makes it hyper with a fast moving fun beat.  This is one where, for me, the instrumentals take the lead getting the listener pulled into the song and then you take in the lyrics.  The group has released their EP later this year entitled Letters From Another State so be sure to go to your digital vendor of choice to support them.  Until then take a moment and get jacked up with Narrow Waves’ “Hear Me Out” through SoundCloud – Richard:

J. Ven’s Single “Barely Alive”

J. Ven is giving the ComicPop listeners a chance to check out his single “Barely Alive”.  This single has a great pop/R&B feel to it that just draws the listener in from the beginning of the song.  J. Ven does have a softer voice so he will have to be wary of the instrumentals occasionally overtaken his voice.  In “Barely Alive” he walks that fine line of blending his voice with the instrumentals during the chorus where the music swells, but he works it well.  Loved his voice, loved his sound and can’t wait to hear what else he will be releasing.  Here’s J. Ven’s “Barely Alive” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Emma Charleston’s “Wonderland”

Emma Charleston is back and sharing with us her latest single “Wonderland”.  Emma gives us a folksy ballad that fits her strong clear voice.  With her second folk single out this seems to be the genre of choice for her, but as with any artist they will have fun with other genres as well.  As with Emma’s first single “Falling”, “Wonderland” will be enjoyed by our listeners of folk music and some that want to enjoy a solid ballad that transports you into your mind’s memory of a loved shared.  Here’s Emma Charleston’s “Wonderland” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Lostboycrow’s Music Video for “Verona”

Get your Romeo and Juliet fix here with Lostboycrow’s latest music video “Verona”.  Lostboycrow stays in the pop club scene type of vibe with his single “Verona”.  Everything meshes fairly well, but when he blends in with the instrumentals, during the single’s chorus, he goes into his falsetto voice and having a softer voice it can get lost within the music.  It’s just hard to do when you hit the falsetto, it’s like for people that have a lower register voice, the singers voice just automatically gets softer.  With “Verona” Lostboycrow is right their on that line, but it doesn’t go completely over that line.  The music video itself, like I said, is a tribute to the Romeo and Juliet story and is fun to watch.  For music videos I enjoy the story videos, but I also enjoy the tribute videos and AMVs that people have done, for me it makes for a more enjoyable viewing.  So with that join Lostboycrow and enjoy his music video for “Verona” through his YouTube channel – Richard:

23rd Hour’s Shares “Hypothetically” Music Video

23rd Hour is made up of the duo Sherry-Lynn Lee and George Paolini and they are sharing with us their music video “Hypothetically”.  The single itself is a cross between lounge room and western elements.  Sherry-Lynn has this powerful voice that comes in and the two mix it well with George’s softer lower voice and the way they sing it reminds you of a lounge room atmosphere or club even.  The instrumentals are acoustical and then one instrument that sways the listener into the western genre is the steel guitar.  The music video itself is an in studio filming of the two singing “Hypothetically” and spotlights the two individually and also that steel guitar I mentioned.  If to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life here’s 23rd Hour’s “Hypothetically” music video, through their YouTube channel, and keep a look out for their album Perfect Strangers slated to come out later this month – Richard:

PEP Shares Their Music Video for “Get Physical”

We had a great time listening to PEP’s single “Get Physical” with it’s tribal beat and call back to music of the 1950’s.  Now PEP is sharing with us their music video for “Get Physical” and it’s just as fun as the single.  The music video in my opinion pays homage to the sleepover scene in Grease (and if you haven’t seen Grease go watch it!).  So take some time to watch PEP’s “Get Physical” music video, through their YouTube channel and be transported back in time – Richard:
