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.
Sleeplust is back sharing their music with our listeners. This time they want everyone to check out their latest single “Over”. If you remember Sleeplust is a synth/pop group that we enjoyed this past February. With “Over” the group takes their style and focus it into a synth/pop ballad that everyone will be able to relate to. The group is currently finalizing their next EP that “Over” is a part of and it will be dropping later this Spring. Until then here’s “Over” for everyone to enjoy through SoundCloud – Richard:
Nick Blaemire is sharing with our listeners his sinlge “Coffee & Wine” that features Daniel J. Watts. The single starts out slow and then Nick kicks it into gear and speeds up the rhythm which fits much better than the slower beat. Love the chorus that brings in the brass section, very nice. Daniel J. Watts helps through out the single and then comes in with a rap section, this will throw some listeners off with this slowing the single down again, but when you listen to his lyrics you understand why they do it because he is talking about be medicated and we need some caffeine to get back into the flow. “Coffee & Wine” is part of Nick’s The Ampersand EP that is available from you choice of digital vendors. Check out Nick Blaemire’s “Coffee & Wine”, featuring Daniel J. Watts, through SoundCloud – Richard:
Anna Rose is back with her sultry voice with “Bury Me Deep”. If you remember from our podcast featuring Anna’s EP Strays in the Cut the Crew really enjoyed Anna’s style. She delivers on the rock aspect, but with “Bury Me Deep” she uses her voice and the instrumentality to put together a slower more soulful sound. The lyric video is done in grey scale with the lyrics fading in and out over the multiple imagery that the director has chosen for the video. This makes for a more interesting lyric video. If you haven’t check out Anna’s EP yet, check out this sample she is sharing with us through her YouTube channel and then find her on your digital content vendor of choice. Here’s Anna Rose’s “Bury Me Deep” lyric video – Richard:

Hidden Cabins is sharing with our listeners their music video for their single “Bet It All On You”. This single and music video are for those that love the long play singles, with this one ranging in over 9 minutes in length. For me this type of single is one that you just hit play and then you just have to let yourself go and experience the music. The instrumentals are more of an acoustic sound keeping it simple in nature. The lead singer has a quality to it that made me think of the lead singers style for Crash Test Dummies that the Alt/Rock fans will be happy to hear. The music video itself is pretty simplistic to match the single. It has one constantly looping image that gets darker as it progresses to the end of the video until only the duos name, Hidden Cabins, is spotlighted. A nice piece of effect. Here’s Hidden Cabins music video for “Bet It All On You” through Blank TV’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Sam Nicolosi is sharing with our listeners again. This time it is for his latest release “Fiction”, from his upcoming EP Origins. Sam delivers a nice soulful sound with this single. With the clear voice that Sam has and melodic flow of the music many will enjoy “Fiction” So take a moment and check out Sam Nicolosi’ “Fiction” through SoundCloud, then come Spring show him some love by supporting his Origins EP – Richard:
If you remember the last part of 2016 and into the first part of 2017 we have been posting “Visits” with the cast and crew of the Melbourne Star Trek Fan Film Production. The first part of their story is available now on ShadowStorm Studios YouTube channel and it has been officially named Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production. This was a labor of love that our friends Vance Major and Jeremy Minard have been planning and working on for the past couple of years and they finally get to see their “child”, the U.S.S. Melbourne, off to the big wide World. Part of the fun for ComicPop Library was doing the “Visits” with everyone, but Vance and Jeremy had a surprise for us. They allowed the ComicPop Crew to have a cameo scene in the production. We are the crew of the U.S.S. Carson. Logan is the security officer that gets shot, Jonathon is the communications officer that gets stabbed, and I (Richard) am the Captain of the Ship – Captain Stapleton. Who would have known it would be so much fun to die. We had a great time during the shoot and visiting with everyone and the camaraderie that everyone shared. Without further a due here is Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production through ShadowStorm Studios, have fun – Richard:
Julia Carlucci is wanting our listeners to enjoy her music video for “Take Me Down”. “Take Me Down” has a nice bass beat that fits well with Julia’s lower range/smokey voice. It’s not a rough smokey voice, but a smooth smokey voice that one usually has that sings in a lower register. Loved the brass during the bridge between the verses. Then during the latter part of the single there is a clapping section that for me did a call back to Spiderbait’s “Black Betty” and how it was structured. The music video it self is pretty much a straight up performance video, but it is really clean and I enjoyed how they went to the specific sections of the band when they were being spotlighted during the song. Here’s Julia Carlucci’s music video for “Take Me Down” – Richard:
Shane Henry’s music might be familiar to some. His music has been heard on many television networks including: NBC; CBS; Discovery Channel; Hallmark Channel; and E! Today Shane is sharing with our listeners his latest single “Save Me”. From the very beginning of “Save Me” you have that R&B/Rock sound. But then the more you listen and catch Shane’s voice which draws out the lyrics my brain click and it went to Southern Rock. With that electric guitar front and center, the driving bass beat and then the harmonica comes in on the bridges. It’s a really nice sound that takes from each style, but doesn’t over power each other. Here is Shane Henry’s “Save Me”, through SoundCloud, for you to enjoy to prepare for his upcoming album Light in the Dark releasing on April 28 – Richard:
