New from Adrian Croom: “Fast Forward”

Adrian Croom comes to with an instrumental that has flavors of hip/hop and traditional elements. I wasn’t sure what to expect from his single “Fast Forward”, but I listened to it and came away enjoying it. I like the simple style in my music at times and with “Fast Forward: having the piano present through the whole song I really enjoyed. When the hip/hop comes in it takes a shift for me and almost feels like a futuristic sound that you would find in a science fiction movie. Can’t wait to hear move from Adrian myself, but you can check out “Fast Forward” below through SoundCloud – Richard:

Year of October’s latest “Gone”

Year of October has a blending of Blues and Rock and that is evident in their latest single “Gone”. The verse with Phlecia carries the bluesy feel, but then the song takes a step back for Josh to do a rock guitar riff. This is an interesting mix and it worked for me. Check out “Gone” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Spitty95’s Single “No Flex Zone”

Here’s one from one of our friends on Twitter, Spitty95, with the single “No Flex Zone”. Wasn’t thrilled with the opening, but once the song came into focus they had a real clear sound. Sometimes in Rap that can be a difficult thing. The sound is more of a mainstream rap, something you could hear on even a pop station. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it does give Spitty95 more crossover appeal. I have to comment, being a science fiction fan I loved the Back to the Future reference, it was fun to hear. Take a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard

Going to a “Farpoint” with Harris Hawk

Harris Hawk gives everyone a nice hard rock single with “Farpoint”. This is one that hard rock fans will enjoy. There is a short bridge where the song softens a little, but it is primarily in your face with electric guitar the featured piece in the driving beat. Rock out with Harris Hawk through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Getting Techie with What Model Citizens’ “Too Late”

“Too Late”, from What Model Citizens, has a strong 1980’s synth feel. Kind of in the vain of Devo and other groups like that. The Music Video definitely leans toward the Steampunk genre and the song lends itself well to that genre as well. So if you are into Steampunk or the synth music check out the music video below from Vimeo – Richard:

February Moon Music Video

If you are into toy collecting and making dioramas, you will more than likely enjoy Morgan Shaughnessy’s music video for her single “February Moon”. It is done in stop motion, which I enjoyed. Check it out from her YouTube channel below – Richard

The Cabana Kids gives us “Sortida”

The Cabana Kids latest single “Sortida’ gives you that late 1960’s to 1970’s feel to me. The vocals and instruments give a nice counter balance to each other and the “aahs” gives it an other worldly or what some might say the “feel good feeling” feel to the single. This would also appeal to what I would call the hipster scene very easily. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:

Life Leone Releases the Music Video for “I Can’t Say No”

Life Leone gives us the music video to their single “I Can’t Say No”. For some reason from what I have heard of their music just hits me right. They have an almost ’80’s/’90’s Boss sound, but with an edge. The video serves the song well, but I tend to like the story videos than band videos. That’s just me…take a look at it through the band’s YouTube channel and enjoy – Richard
