Romance & Rebellion’s “Vanity Fair” Music Video

romance-rebellion

Romance & Rebellion is sharing with our listeners their music video for their single “Vanity Fair”.  The single is a strong call back to the 1980’s with a nicely paced electro ballad.  The pacing of the single is so that it keeps the listener pulled in, it’s not slow or to fast.  I guess you could say it’s just right.  The music video is a straight up performance type video as if the band was playing at a prom.  Romance & Rebellion is working on a self titled EP that “Vanity Fair” is part of so until you can get the EP enjoy their “Vanity Fair” music video through their YouTube channel – Richard:

lily-1

Our listeners get to share in the music of Lily Elise again with her latest single “Palm Trees”.  This time around Lily gives us a ballad to listen to.  Lily has a little bit of a smoky raspy voice for this single that works well.  So slow it down with Lily Elise’s “Palm Trees” through SoundCloud – Richard:

blackpandaPRjustin-baron

Justin Baron is giving the ComicPop listeners an earful with his latest single “Girl with an Ego”.  This is a strong entry into the pop field.  With the hard beating drum beats and Justin’s strong vocals make this single a lot of fun.  If you want a song to get you up out of your seat and move this is one that does it for me.  Definitely interested in hearing more from him with his upcoming EP Craving.  Until than here is Justin Baron’s “Girl with an Ego” for everyone to groove to through SoundCloud – Richard:

city bird publicitywild-fur

Wild Fur is sharing with our listeners their latest single “Can You See Me”, from their upcoming album Feel Free.  Wild Fur is the duo of Wylie Hunter and Nick Jaeger and with this single they take use the music stylings of the late 1960’s to Early 1970’s.  The single has that electronic sound that is in the flower power and psychedelic arena, but it isn’t heavy handed.  The single still has that slight pop feel to it that will attract listeners to its sound.  Wild Fur’s album, Fell Free, is scheduled for a November 4 release, but until then here is “Can You See Me” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Anousheh Releases Latest Single “Bones”

city bird publicityanousheh

Grammy nominated Anousheh has released her latest single “Bones” and she wants our listeners to experience it.  “Bones” comes out of the gate swinging with a banging bass beat that gets your synapsis firing.  The instruments don’t over power Anousheh though she has a strong voice that carries the song through it’s electro/pop sound with ease.  Take a moment and enjoy Anousheh’s “Bones” through SoundCloud – Richard

Surf Vietnam Latest Single “October Baseball”

black-lion-prsurf-vietnam

Surf Vietnam’s latest single “October Baseball”, from their album Funambulism, is a call back to the 1960’s beach music.  The single is also a story driven piece that talks about a dream of playing baseball for the character of the song and him finally taking a chance at it.  Technically the vocals could have been layered more prominently in the single.  The instruments at times overpowered the vocalist, which could have been intentional with the style of music they were going for.  The ending of the song shifts gears on listeners, but it stays within the same decade of music, to a “sock hop” feel.  Since this transition was within the same decade of music styles it didn’t bother me much.  With the World Series just under way “October Baseball” from Surf Vietnam seemed natural so enjoy it through BandCamp – Richard:
