“Walk Away” Music Video from Hy Brasil

In “Walk Away” Hy Brasil gives the listeners a Techno Sound. This makes the single have an other worldly feel. This might be intentional on the bands part, but their voices do tend to get lost in the instruments. This is a style that several enjoy, but I like to have the voices to be as much of the song as the instruments. When you add the music video to this single it adds to the single. The video was shot in black and white film and has a young woman that has a unicorn mask on her face. These visuals compliment “Walk Away” in achieving that other worldly feel. Check out “Walk Away” from Hy Brasil’s YouTube channel – Richard:

American Pinup Releases “The Radio” Single

The group American Pinup has given New Noise Magazine an exclusive release of their latest single “The Radio”. This single has that rock feel with some soul mixed in.

Listeners will enjoy the vocal treatment and steady beat throughout the single. Here is the link to New Noise Magazine if you would like to listen to American Pinup’s “The Radio.” – Richard: http://newnoisemagazine.com/exclusive-stream-american-pinup-the-radio/

“Where Memories Live” Music Video

Light Out There delivers to music fans the single “Where Memories Live”. This single is a very clean and simple song which is reminiscent of country music from the 1980’s and 1990’s. The video adds to the lyrics that convey a life message. This song isn’t about getting up and dancing, but what many in our world are experiencing with loved ones, dementia. The general audience will appreciate the single but those that have or are experiencing dementia with loved ones, it will resonate even more. A had subject to express, but Light Out There does an admiral job. Check out “Where Memories Live” through Light Out There’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailer

Growing up my parents always picked up the DC Comics for me. So I’m more of a DC guy instead of a Marvel guy even though I love Marvel as well. But man I love see the small screen and big screen coming to life with what to me are my heroes. So you knew I couldn’t let the weekend come without posting the trailer to the new Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer that debuted at ComicCon. All I can say is it looks good. Seems to pick up within the Man of Steel battle, with Bruce Wayne present in Metropolis at the time. So that was a nice tie-in. Plus Batman has always been about protecting the people even to include other heroes that might turn. Check out Justice League: Tower of Babel for this concept. Thanks to Warner Bros. for streaming this on the YouTube channel for us to share with everyone – Richard:

Attic Empire Wants to Send You on a “Astro Getaway”

Love the horns! Attic Empire’s single “Astro Getaway” gives a vibe of the late 1970’s early 1980’s, which falls right in my wheel house. The music industry has gotten away from using the myriad of instruments that can be used to augment or even make a song. It’s great to see with Attic Empire that they aren’t shying away form all the musical possibilities. This might be more of a niche area today, but people like me enjoy the sound. Love it…keep it up! Take a listen to “Astro Getaway” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Rozes hits the ground running with her single “R U Mine”. The single starts out going slow and you are like okay a ballad, which is fine because she has a nice clear voice for this. Then Rozes dives in by ramping up the rhythm and making the song a fun listen. So check out Rozes’ “R U Mine” through SoundCloud – Richard

You “Can’t Say No” to Rebel House Radio’s Release

Rebel House Radio has a soft spoken sound. Not knowing what they have done with other singles, I know with their latest “Can’t Say No” the band is aware of this trait. The beat has a great steady driving sound with the other instruments being more of a supportive role. However, they don’t let this over power the lyrics. Rebel House Radio has adjusted their sound level to compliment their voices rather than take over the song. The music video also compliments the single as well. So check out the single “Can’t Say No” from Rebel House Radio’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Foam Ropes Releases “Potion me Well” Single

Derek Nicoletto and his band Foam Ropes’ recent single “Potion me Well” has a Southern Rock feel to it. So when one listens to it you get that back home country rock feel which has a strong beat to it. The music video that the band did for the single kind of goes in a very different direction though. It has apartment and dance studio scenes to it which felt a little disconnected to the style of the music. This is one that should have been filmed on a farm or range and it would have meshed with the single better. To me the Southern Rock fans will love “Potion me Well”, so download the song and jam out to it. You can check out the music video here from the bands YouTube channel – Richard:
