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.
Leondro hits up ComicPop again with his latest single “Like That”. I can see “Like That” being played in the club scene because it has enough of a pop mainstream feel to it that everyone will want to hit the dance floor with to groove and grind to. Feel Leondro’s “Like That” through SoundCloud – Richard:
It’s been a good year for The Score. They have released a new single entitled “On and On” via Republic Records, which they are sharing with our listeners. “On and On” is being featured in HBO’s current branding campaign. Their music has also been featured in Sprint commercials, NBC’s Biggest Loser and in the feature film Alvin & the Chipmunks: Road Chip. Congratulations to The Score in all of their success and I’m sure more to come. The band is going to be in Austin this year as well for SXSW. If you happen to be there this year be sure to take in their session. Until then The Score is sharing their audio video for their single “On and On” with us through their YouTube channel – Richard:
The band Givers & Takers are sharing with the ComicPop listeners their latest single “Start the Morning”. This single I can see being played or performed in a night club where people go to experience the music. “Start the Morning” has a very R&B/Soul vibe to it that washes over the listener. Well done and get ready to swoon with Givers & Takers, “Start the Morning” through SoundCloud – Richard:

SLEEPLUST invites the ComicPop listeners to check out their single “My Place” from their self titled EP that was release in November. SLEEPLUST is a synth/pop group that begins their single calm and then ramps it up for the chorus. It’s a cool back and forth that they have established with this single. This trio has had their music featured on MTV, VH1, E!, and Oxygen, so they are well on their way to being in everyone’s circle of interests. SLEEPLUST is sharing “My Place” with the ComicPop listeners through SoundCloud, so we want to thank them for doing this and be sure to check out you digital downloaders to support them and their self titled EP – Richard:
Laura Jean Anderson is sharing with the ComicPop listeners her single “It Won’t Be Long”, from her A Righteous Girl EP, which comes out March 4. Laura has what I consider a smoky voice. It’s not a heavy smoky voice, but it has an element of smokiness to it. With this alone listeners will gravitate to her music, because that type of voice captivates many people. The style of the single “It Won’t be Long” is in that folk/rock area of music. This would fit comfortably in a country listeners playlist, but she has that rock feel that will have crossover appeal as well. Thanks to Laura for sharing “It Won’t Be Long” with us through SoundCloud and watch you digital music vendors to pick up her full EP A Righteous Girl – Richard:
The Blancos are making their EP debut with Broken Kids. They are sharing with ComicPop their music video for the single “BKCBD” from the EP. This single is one that will surprise people. Parents will probably here the lyrics and go crazy because of the mature content. However, this single has a beautiful rhythm and the lyrics even though rough are telling a powerful story, because their are probably several kids that think this and many more that are living it (“BKCBD”/ Broken Kids Chasing Broken Dreams). The music video has a very cinematic feel to it and gives additional weight to the single. The Blancos are going to be at SXSW so if you are there during their session stop in to check them out. Until then here is their “BKCBD” music video from their YouTube channel that you can enjoy – Richard:

We get something a little different with the music video “Night City”. Peter Calandra is sharing his latest composition with the ComicPop listeners. “Night City” is an instrumental piece that doesn’t have a hard driving beat, but has an uplifting feel to it that will keep the listeners interested. I for one love instrumental music and the montage of photos that compose the music video fit really well. Thanks to Peter for sharing the music video “Night City” through his YouTube channel – Richard:
