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.
Are you ready to jump into a time machine? The Gin Pennies single “Film Noir” captures the time period beautifully. The horns come in at the beginning and then you have Shanelle Lewis’ voice come in to seal the deal. Along with the horns The Gin Pennies bring out the stringed instruments that add to the atmosphere of the single. If you love film noir or that time period you will love this single. Here’s The Gin Pennies’ “Film Noir” music video through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Logan and I saw this trailer the other day and couldn’t stop laughing. This looks to be a fun movie. Check out The Hitman’s Bodyguard trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Jerome Bell is wanting our listeners to “Burn Easy” with his latest single. From the very first notes you know this single has an island influence. Jerome has this smooth low range that flows over the listener. With the island music and its timbre it is fun blending you voice with the instruments and not be over taken by the instruments. Jerome goes right to that edge with this piece, but doesn’t cross it. You can still distinguish the lyrics as the chorus is playing, but it is something that any artist like Jerome has to watch out for with their lower voice range. “Burn Easy” itself is one to take with you that can be used to set a mood, were the couple described in the song are taking it slow so neither one of them gets burned. Many can relate to this and even though a summer fling might be fun, taking it slow might be more fulfilling in the long run. Here’s Jerome Bell’s “Burn Easy” through SoundCloud – Richard:

With “Broken” Lovely.The.Band is letting everyone know they are here. They are sharing with us their Lyric Video for “Broken” which feels like a music video and if you take out the lyrics from the screen it is a music video, because most lyric videos key on the lyrics, but with this one it gives you movement behind it. The single “Broken” is a nice clean pop single that, if I remember right, is similar to One Republic’s style on “All the Right Moves”. Very catchy rhythm and clear vocals make this one fun to listen to. So know it’s your turn to take a listen to Lovely.The.Band’s lyric video for “Broken” – Richard:
Salt Petal is give our listeners another taste of their style. Wit “Disco Rats” it definitely delivers what the title says. Salt Petal infuses this single with everything disco.

Here’s Salt Petal’s “Disco Rats”, through SoundCloud, from their Rare Hearts album that is available for your digital vendor of choice – Richard:

Vs is coming at us with their single “Listen”. This is one that will hit all the alternative rock fans. If starts out with a peaceful feel for the first verse and then comes in heavy on the chorus, back to peaceful for the second verse and then heavy again for the reminder of the single. Vs has an EP planned for a Summer release so if you are looking for a new band in the alt. rock arena this will fill the void. Here’s Vs’ “Listen” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Trishes is sharing with our listeners again. This time she is coming to us with an upbeat single that will catch you from the beginning of the single, “Animal”. “Animal” has a bit of modern feel, with the bass beat, as well as an older feel to it, especially with the “bum, bums” at the beginning and throughout the song. Very nice job with the upbeat feel…everyone knows I enjoy those type of songs and her vocals are on point again. So enjoy Trishes “Animal” through SoundCloud – Richard:
