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.
Our friend Rene Perez has been hard at work directing his latest project, The Altruist. The poster and trailer from The Altruist, looks to be right up my alley. I love the Punisher and Executioner type characters and this looks similar. Cant’ wait to check it out. Thanks to Shasta County Film Commission’s YouTube channel for the trailer and congrats to Rene, looks like a killer movie – Richard:
We’ve featured Rozes before, but she had the cool experience of being on National television. The Chainsmokers were on The Late Late Show with James Corden for their song “Roses” that Rozes is featured in. So check out the footage from the Late Late Show’s YouTube channel to see and listen to Rozes performance – Richard:
Rosie Carney is coming to us from Ireland and will be performing at the 2016 SXSW, so if you happen to be there be sure to check out her music. Glide Magazine has Rosie’s premiere that she wants everyone to check out. This definitely has a folk feel to it and her voice reminds me of the female leads voice of The Hunts, that we reviewed back in the day. The single is a slower piece, but Rosie’s voice captivates you from the start. So check out Rosie Carney’s “Antidote” on Glide’s website: http://www.glidemagazine.com/154499/song-premiere-rosie-carney-antidote/

Next Stop Horizon is a Sweish indie folk/pop duo. The are sharing with the ComicPop listeners, not one but two of their music videos. The first one fits our site to a “T” with “Rain on Me”. The single is very upbeat and catchy, but it’s the music video that hits my sweet spot. It has spots throughout it of a couple of children dressed up in superhero outfits with capes and all. You gotta love that! With their second music video for their single “We’ll Whistle So” slows it down. With this single they want to draw the listener in through the lyrics and music, plus the variety of instruments in this single is great. If you live in or plan to attend SXSW the duo is a confirmed performance so check when and where they will be playing and enjoy their music. Also I have to say I love their picture that we use above. So thank you to Next Stop Horizon for sharing the music videos for “Rain on Me” and “We’ll Whistle So” through the “tapeterecords” YouTube channel – Richard:
Amber Renee and Graham Marsh are re-introducing themselves as the duo Clavvs. For this Clavvs is sharing with the ComicPop listeners their latest single “Leviathan”. The single’s beginning has an other worldly feel and then the vocals come in nice and clear. Even with the music being a little louder than the vocals Amber’s voice is crisp enough that she isn’t lost. With her voice I wish it would be over the music to really get her the spotlight. The single itself has an artistic electro/pop feel to it with a twinge of psychedelic mixed in. Take a listen to Clavvs, through SoundCloud, to experience the “Leviathan” – Richard:

If you are into the Avent/Pop scene this one will be for you. Victoria + Jean is sharing with us their live music video for the single “Holly”. This type of music I have to be in the mood for, but you might enjoy it, especially if you follow the scene. Tahnks again to Victoria + Jean for sharing the music video, “Holly”, from the SABAMofficial YouTube channel – Richard:
S21 is sharing with the listeners of ComicPop Library with another single entitled “Rapper Life”. With this single you can tell that this is from a freshman album. S21 still needs to work on mixing the tracks, you can hear that the separate tracks are either laid on top of each other or the music is pre- packaged or recorded and then he is doing the lyrics. The rhythm is good and even the voice is nice and clear. You can hear the lyrics clearly which is sometimes tough to do with this music genre. S21 has a good starting point. He just needs to work on his mixing with a professional mixing software or find a professional sound studio. You can check out “Rapper Life” here that S21 has provided through SoundCloud – Richard:
We have spotlighted Elephant 12 before so everyone will remember them. This time the group wants to share with the ComicPop Library listeners their second single, “There Goes My Ego”. The song has nice clean lyrics that fit well with the underlying instruments. And I think everyone can relate to taking a hit to their ego at times. Be sure to keep an eye out on iTunes for their upcoming EP Hellophantastic, that contains this single. Thanks again to Elephant 12 for their continued support and here is their single “There Goes My Ego” through SoundCloud – Richard:
