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.
Polar Waves is hitting it out of the park with their first single, “Stoner”, from their upcoming album No One Needs Help Anymore. I think many of our listeners will enjoy this nice clean rock song. You have you hard beats coming at you with the slightly gruff vocals that come together and form what I think and should be the bands signature style. I’m eager to hear what else they will be giving us to enjoy. Here’s Polar Wave’s “Stoner” for everyone to rock to through SoundCloud – Richard:
Veio gives our listeners a rock/metal single to check out with “Structures”. Veio has the metal sound down and I really enjoyed listening to this single. The lyrics where nice and clear and when the chorus hit it wasn’t to over the top, it was right were it needed to be. The music video is put together nicely, but I wish they would have done more of a story video, but that’s just my taste for music videos. Here’s Veio’s music video for “Structures” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Sam Nicolosi is sharing with our listeners his unique single “Caught Up”. The single starts out with a good Pop bass beat and then transitions into a little bit of experimental sounds and back to pop. This one and can dig part of it and other parts I have to wrap my head around. That might be what Sam is intending. Here’s Sam Nicolosi’s single “Caught Up” from his upcoming Origins EP – Richard:
The ComicPop Crew jumps back and forth between Julia Camara and Russ Emanuel who are in two different places but in one. Could this be a reflection of their award winning feature film Occupants where the characters are sharing the same place parallel to one another. Join us as we have fun visiting with the writer, Julia, and the director, Russ, about Occupants.

The Gail Borden Public Library just recently had Star Wars: The Nostalgia Awakens Vintage Toy Exhibit at their library. This traveling exhibit is owned and curated by Jarrod Roll, the director of the Monroe County Local History Room & Museum located in Sparta, Wisconsin. The Gail Borden Public Library made a six minute YouTube video with Jarrod and it shows some of the pieces that are in the exhibit. We recently had a two part visit with Jarrod that I am currently editing and hope to have up within the next few weeks. Until then here is the Gail Borden Public Library’s video that you can check out, from their YouTube channel, as a primer – Richard:
Uruguay is sharing with our listeners their debut music video for “Sabrina Segment”. This single has a very soulful feel to it and with the drumbeat, along with the images of the music video, feels like a heart beat. There is no harshness to the single, but you feel a desperation within “Sabrina Segment”. The single and video deals with the harshness of life and how it can be very down trodden, but you can still find someone to help make it go a little easier. When you get to the end of the video you will understand what I mean, because I want to leave that for you to interpret on your own, because you could get a different message from it, which is all good. Here’s Uruguay’s music video for “Sabrina Segment” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
Common Deer gives our listeners a chance to hear their single “Confession (I Should Have Known)”, from their I EP. “Confession” lands comfortably in the folk genre. The single has a great rhythm that draws in the listener from the start. It isn’t overly fast, just a nice upbeat feel, even though the single isn’t technically upbeat in it’s lyrics. The drums give you that beat, but they are muted so that the other instruments can shine and it all blends together beautifully with the vocals. As everyone knows I enjoy the folk genre so you know I am interested in what Common Deer will come out with next. Their EP I is available now, so if you enjoy them as much as I do, search for them on your downloader of choice and help support them. Until then here is Common Deer’s “Confession (I Should Have Known)” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Talk about a flashback. Gold Casio is sharing with us their disco inspired single “Socialites and Singer Types”. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face while listening to this. “Socialites and Singer Types” has all the hallmarks of a ’70” disco song, but it’s lyrics have modern day reflections. Even the groups name has that ’70’s reference with “Casio”…I mean come on, that’s just cool. Disco is all about having fun so take a moment and have some fun with Gold Casio’s “Socialites and Singer Types” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Sivik shared with us last November his single “All Day All Night”. He has now had a music video produced for this single. As you remember he had a flare for the electro/pop that would fit right in at the night clubs. With the music video he utilizes that aspect of his music. During the video you have Sivik spotlighted and cut in with that is a dancer that gives us some moves to have fun with. Here’s Sivik with his music video for the single “All Day All Night” through his YouTube channel – Richard
