Lady Low’s Latest “When I Do Wrong”

museLady low

I don’t know why but this song just hit me just right.  Like Lady Low’s previous single this single, “When I Do Wrong” isn’t one that will get you up moving.  It is a slower song, but that is their intent.  The lyrics and instruments are simple, but evocative.  Give “When I Do Wrong” a listen through SoundCloud – Richard

Riot Police Release their Single “She Knows”

museriot

Riot Police is for individuals that like high pitched singers.  When the lead started singing “She Knows” in his high register I felt a Maroon 5 influence.  Even with the higher notes the vocalist is able to keep the lyrics clear and they keep the instrumentalist at a lower volume so not to interfere with the lead singer.  Check out their video for “She Knows” from the bands YouTube Channel – Richard

Debut Single “Whole Again” from Alec Chambers

blackpandaPRJ100

Alec Chambers has a great sounding single on his hands.  The rhythms are there, the hooks are there, and he has a nice clear voice.  The only thing that might hold some back is his Tenor voice.  I like his voice, but it will be compared to Justin Bieber’s voice and other boy band type voices.  This isn’t to say his voice is bad, because it isn’t, he just needs to be prepared for that happening.  Take a listen to Alec’s “Whole Again” through SoundCloud and see what you think – Richard

Upcoming Tour Dates:
December 6, 2014 | New York, NY @ Merkin Concert Hall supporting David Ippolito

January 5, 2015 | New York, NY @ The Bitter End

January 14, 2015 | New York, NY @ Rockwood Music Hall | 7:00PM

“Sky Stand Still” from Jes

city bird publicityjes

Jes has had a good November, with her release of “Sky Stand Still”.  The single is the theme of the documentary The Principle.  The single has a nice drum march beat to it that brings out the rhythm for people to get into.  The song isn’t a fast beat dancing song, but more of a power ballad song.  Jes’ voice fits perfectly and has a really nice sound quality.  Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard

“Baby Baby” Debut Single From Lady Low

museLady low

Lady Low reworks the single “Baby Baby”, originally released by The Vibrators in ’77.  If you are not prepared for Lady Low’s sound it will probably make you say what is going on.  However, once you get into the song and the style that they are singing, which they have termed “Romance Rock”, it is almost hypnotic.  The single is slowed down and the lower voice register they sing in is also drawn out in the lyrics.  This is definitely mood music, so check it out by clicking the link provided to Nothing but Hope and Passion’s website – Richard:
