If you remember the last part of 2016 and into the first part of 2017 we have been posting “Visits” with the cast and crew of the Melbourne Star Trek Fan Film Production. The first part of their story is available now on ShadowStorm Studios YouTube channel and it has been officially named Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production. This was a labor of love that our friends Vance Major and Jeremy Minard have been planning and working on for the past couple of years and they finally get to see their “child”, the U.S.S. Melbourne, off to the big wide World. Part of the fun for ComicPop Library was doing the “Visits” with everyone, but Vance and Jeremy had a surprise for us. They allowed the ComicPop Crew to have a cameo scene in the production. We are the crew of the U.S.S. Carson. Logan is the security officer that gets shot, Jonathon is the communications officer that gets stabbed, and I (Richard) am the Captain of the Ship – Captain Stapleton. Who would have known it would be so much fun to die. We had a great time during the shoot and visiting with everyone and the camaraderie that everyone shared. Without further a due here is Stormfront a Star Trek Fan Film Production through ShadowStorm Studios, have fun – Richard:
Julia Carlucci is wanting our listeners to enjoy her music video for “Take Me Down”. “Take Me Down” has a nice bass beat that fits well with Julia’s lower range/smokey voice. It’s not a rough smokey voice, but a smooth smokey voice that one usually has that sings in a lower register. Loved the brass during the bridge between the verses. Then during the latter part of the single there is a clapping section that for me did a call back to Spiderbait’s “Black Betty” and how it was structured. The music video it self is pretty much a straight up performance video, but it is really clean and I enjoyed how they went to the specific sections of the band when they were being spotlighted during the song. Here’s Julia Carlucci’s music video for “Take Me Down” – Richard:
Shane Henry’s music might be familiar to some. His music has been heard on many television networks including: NBC; CBS; Discovery Channel; Hallmark Channel; and E! Today Shane is sharing with our listeners his latest single “Save Me”. From the very beginning of “Save Me” you have that R&B/Rock sound. But then the more you listen and catch Shane’s voice which draws out the lyrics my brain click and it went to Southern Rock. With that electric guitar front and center, the driving bass beat and then the harmonica comes in on the bridges. It’s a really nice sound that takes from each style, but doesn’t over power each other. Here is Shane Henry’s “Save Me”, through SoundCloud, for you to enjoy to prepare for his upcoming album Light in the Dark releasing on April 28 – Richard:

Typhoid Rosie is keeping with their style of dark rock. Just having Typhoid in the name you kind of now what you are in for. They give you that driving rock sound in their single “Baby I Want You” that doesn’t necessarily say the single is dark, but when coupled with the music video it give you that dark vibe from the beginning and you get into a Dolores Claiborne type of kidnapping were the love is one sided and disturbing. You can tell Typhoid Rosie had fun with this video, which allows the viewer to watch it with the dark humor respected. Here’s Typhoid Rosie’s music video for “Baby I Want You” through Rosie Rebel’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Mick McMains is sharing with our listeners his single “Singing to the Cow”. This single hits right in that Folk/Country arena really well and how can it not be with the title “Singing to the Cow”. The sounds are there, with Mick’s voice being strong and easy to listen to. And just for extra measure they throw in some electric guitar. So check out Mick McMains’ single through SoundCloud – Richard:

Solarrio is letting our listeners check out his music video for his single “Hopeless”. Solarrio keeps that Pop/Synth that he has established with his other singles, but with this one he slows it down a bit. The single still has a great beat and you will be dancing to this one just like his others, but maybe just a little bit closer to your partner. Here’s Solarrio’s music video for “Hopeless” through his YouTube channel and after watching it give him your support by downloading his album from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
Janet Blair gives our listeners a chance to check out her single “Eternity Grows”. With this single Janet falls what I would say is a Pop/Folk music style. I enjoy how the piano is playing staccato for the verse. For me when music is played that way it makes me want to get into the music and have fun. When Janet hits the chorus the single takes on a fullness that has the listener taking off and soaring. I’m interested in what else she has planned. Have fun with Janet Blair’s “Eternity Grows” through SoundCloud – Richard:
