I Am a Hero Trailer

The I Am A Hero, by Kengo Hanazawa, rights have been acquired by Dark Horse Comics and was popular enough to have a live action film based on it open in Japan and the film has already started racking up awards at film festivals. It has won Grand Prize at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, Audience Award and the Jury Prize in the Orient Express section at Portugal’s Fantasporto-Oporto International Film Festival, and Grand Audience Award and Award for Best Special Effects at the 48th Sitges Film Festival in Catalonia, Spain.

Kyle Britton Becomes the “Villain”

The single “Villain” is being shared with our listener’s from Kyle Britton’s upcoming EP Riddle, scheduled for a June 10 release date. “Villain” kind of feels like an old western ballad at the beginning and then it shifts to a heavier beat. However, even the the drums heavier beat it feels like war drums. It’s a different sound for that I think our you will enjoy, because of the sense of gravity in the single. Here’s Kyle Britton’s “Villain” through SoundCloud – Richard:

“Give Me More” Pleads Skyes

Skyes is sharing their latest single “Give Me More” with the ComicPop listeners. The single comes in with a simple style and grows throughout the song into a definite electronic feel. The piano and drum beat opening is really nice and with Dallin Knightly’s voice is really powerful. The trio should concentrate their sound around Dallin’s voice which can carry the group with it’s clear and strong quality and lightly use the electronics. I’m interested in hearing more from them and if you are as well Skyes EP Quarks comes out May 6 that this single is from. Until then enjoy “Give Me More” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Dannika Wants to be “Next to You”

Dannika is sharing with the ComicPop listeners “Next to You” from her upcoming EP For Peaches. This one will be a little bit of an acquired taste for some people. It really reminded me of something that would come out of the “Flower Power/Hippie culture. There is a uniqueness to this single that reminds me of that time period where friends would gather in a field to “relax”. I think most of you out there will know what I’m alluding to with that term. Here is Dannika’s “Next to You” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Kimberley Locke Covers “I Will Survive”

Kimberley Locke, one of the finalist of American Idol in Season 2, shares with our listeners her rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s single “I Will Survive”. Kimberley takes the disco hit and slows it down to make it into a ballad. Some listeners that can remember Gloria’s hit might not recognize this rendition. By slowing it down it really changes the feel of this song. Check out Kimberley Locke’s cover of “I Will Survive” through SoundCloud – Richard:
