Mischief Night’s Music Video for “With Me, Now”

Mischief Night is sharing with our listeners their music video for “With Me, Now”.  “With Me, Now” is playing to a more niche market which I believe Mischief Night realizes and are embracing with their music.  When I listen to “With Me, Now” I get this psychedelic/folk/bohemian mix and their music video for the single kind of captures that free artistic range as well with the purposefully rendered low end stop motion spliced with live footage of the band that almost feels like old 8mm film.  I enjoy that they are bringing in a variety of instruments, but with their softer voices they will need to watch out for their instrumentals overpowering them.  Check out Mischief Night’s music video for “With Me, Now” for something new that you might like through Marcus Kitchen’s YouTube channel- Richard:

Ryon’s World Latest Single “Grandmas Car”

Ryon’s World is sharing their island infused single “Grandmas Car”, featuring Stu Da Boi.  “Grandmas Car” is a fun little diddy, but be warned for those with sensitive ears, otherwise just have fun with this single and get your body grooving with the beat as you enjoy Spring Break.  Here’s Ryon’s World’s “Grandmas Car” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Maggie McClure Will “Be Right Here For You”

Maggie McClure has hit my sweet spot with her single “Be Right Here For You”.  This is just a fun catchy single that should get your foot to tapping and head to bobbing.  I personally love these type of songs because of their uplifting rhythm and, as stated above, plain funness (yeah I know I created a word).  Maggie’s work has been spotlighted on several television programs so you might have heard something of hers and not realize it.  Her latest album is Time Moves On.  I am definitely interested in hearing more from her to see if she keeps up the fun uplifting style.  Enjoy Maggie McClure’s “Be Right Here For You” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Balkan Beat Box’ “Chin Chin” gets Two Remixes

Balkan Beat Box’ single “Chin Chin” has gotten to remixes.  One from Bad Royale and the other from Gaudi.  Both remixes are completely different than the others Bad Royale’s has a more pop feel to it and Gaudi’s has more of an urban feel.  For two different mixers doing remixes of your song is pretty cool.  You can listen to both versions from The Music Ninja webstie where they are exclusives.  Take a jump and have some fun to see which remix you like better and if you want to check out Balkan Beat Box live see which dates they might be near you – Richard

Judge Roughneck’s Latest Single “The Girl”

Judge Roughneck is sharing with our listeners again, this time it is for their current single “The Girl”.  Still enjoy the horns and reggae beat that Judge Roughneck gives us.  In “The Girl” they have a smooth sound for the chorus that even calls into mind the beach songs of the day, while the verse is where you get the most reggae feel.  A fun smooth sound to begin the coming of Spring and into the Summer beach music.  Find that groove with Judge Roughneck’s “The Girl” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Mt. Wolf’s “The Electric” Lyric Video

Mt. Wolf is sharing with our listeners their single “The Electric” lyric video.  Mt. Wolf’s lead singer has a nice bass register voice.  This can be a little limiting as I know first hand as a bass as well.  The styles of music you sing you have to sing well or it just won’t come off good.  With “The Electric” Mt. Wolf knows where they want to be for this single and hit it out of the park for me.  The beginning and and ending are a little drawn out that some might not have the patience for, but the lyric video really assists the single in this instance.  For the lyric video the director used old military films for the background and it works really well.  To me Mt. Wolf’s style is a folk/pop sound for this single and I’m interested in what else they might put out on their as yet un-titled album that is in the works.  Mt. Wolf has also been confirmed for SXSW this year so check them out if you will be attending.  Until then here’s Mt. Wolf’s lyric video for “The Electric” through CRC Music’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Among Criminals New Single “Patience and Regret”

Among Criminals is sharing their new single “Patience and Regret” from their upcoming album Kill the Precedent.  With “Patience and Regret” I’m getting a 1970’s feel at the start, with the guitar section giving a Vietnam era vibe.  When they get to the chorus they shift into a driven beat.  Definitely a rock band with the rhythms hitting you with a steady stream.  I’m looking forward to what else they will have on their album. Rock it out with Among Criminals’ “Patience and Regret” through SoundCloud and be sure to keep an eye out for their upcoming album Kill the Precedent – Richard

Mike Schiavo’s Music Video for “Back For Me”

Mike Schiavo is sharing with our listeners his music video for his single “Back For Me”.  If Mike’s name sounds a little familiar it might be from his time on season 10 of The Voice.  Mike has a clear strong voice that he uses in his “Back For Me” ballad.  I also love how he is keeping the instrumentals simple and he lets his voice be the star of the single.  The video that has been produced for the single is really crisp and clean as well and has that story element to it not just Mike singing to us.  For me I appreciate this type of music video more because the director and artist are being creative for this aspect of the song.  “Back For Me” is from his self-titled EP that is available from your download service of choice.  Here’s Mike Schiavo’s music video for his single “Back For Me” through SpotsTheGinga YouTube channel – Richard:
