Indigoe’s Single “Call In The Air”

city bird publicityindigoe1

Indigoe is sharing with the ComicPop listeners their single “Call in the Air”.  “Call in the Air” is definitely a Electric/Pop single.  You can tell that the instrumentals are the feature especially with the intro for the single..  Indigoe is planning on having different feature artists as the vocalist on their new releases and for this single the featured artist is Todd Hugenour.  The style is has a very SciFi feel to it and the artwork above just adds to the vibe.  A great intro for me to Indigoe and I can’t wait to hear what else they come out with.  Enjoy Indigoe’s “Call in the Air” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Ciara O’Neill’s Music Video for “The Ebony Trail”

ciara

Ciara O’Neill is sharing, with the ComicPop listeners, her latest music video for her single “The Ebony Trail”.  Ciara uses her voice and acoustic instruments to their haunting abilities.  “The Ebony Trail” takes you on a journey that sounds so simple, but for an artist to use restraint is one of the harder things to do.  Simplistic is not always simple as I like to say.  The animation that Ashling Lindsay uses in the music video is also a simpler style which to me matches to the single’s sound well.  This single is one that you would use to reflect or contemplate while listening to Ciara’s debut album, by the same title, The Ebony Trail, which was released this last March.  Take in Ciara O’Neill’s, “The Ebony Trail” music video from her YouTube channel – Richard:

Tammy “Hated It (With You)” Single

blackpandaPRtammy

TAMMY is the duo Aaron and Brooke.  They are sharing their debut single with the ComicPop listeners “Hated It (With You)”.  This single has the stylings of 1950’s – 1960’s music.  One slight difference – the lyrics in “Hated It” are a little bit more edgier.  I really enjoyed TAMMY’s “Hated It (With You)” so have some retro-fun through SoundCloud – Richard:

Jason Achilles Mezilis’ “Panhandle” Music Video

city bird publicityjason

Jason Achilles Mezilis has just released his rock instrumental album Comedown this past June 28th.  Jason has been kind enough to share his music video for the  single “Panhandle” from that album.  Jason is in a world that most people don’t see to often, that being in the world of instrumentalist.  If you are like me and you listen to music for the rhythm and beat of a song more than likely you will enjoy instrumental pieces like soundtracks and Jason’s Comedown album, you just don’t realize.  “Panhandle” has a bit of a modern western flare to it and the music video carries that flavor over into it as well.  The music itself isn’t overbearing and really enjoyable.  Definitely interested to hear more from the album.  While you enjoy Jason Achilles Mezilis’ music video for “Panhandle” be sure to check out their site or a digital downloader to support the group and their release of Comedown.  Here’s “Panhandle” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
