blackpandaPRmaudlin strangers

We have mentioned Maudlin Strangers before on the site.  Jake Hays has released his second track “Stay Young” which has a great sound to it just like his “Overdose” debut.  His music has a distinct sound to it and the lyrics are in a serious vein, but you can’t stop from listening.  His EP will be available later this Summer, so keep an eye on iTunes or other digital feeds.  We also have his tour dates and social media links below where you can keep track of Maudlin Strangers below – Richard:

LP lends Her Music to Dance Video

lpLil-Buck

Lil Buck was introduced to LP’s debut album Forever For Now via Sol Guy and he said it INSPIRED him. All he wanted to do was dance to it. The two began discussing different artists and their particular roots of inspiration. Bruce Lee was another one of those for Lil Buck. They combined Bruce’s philosophy, LP’s haunting track and Lil Buck’s jaw dropping, bone breaking dancing into a mind-blowing celebration.

Lil Buck to the title track “Forever For Now” and put dance to it, what he calls Memphis Jookin.  Lil Buck gives some narrative to his dance and then it goes into the lyrics.  The video is shot in black and white which makes it a little haunting.  You can definitely tell that his influence is from Bruce Lee.  The video was done for a new upcoming show called The Talent Show, created by Sol Guy that travels to find arts that inspires individual.  It is a cool video with LP’s music and looks to be an interesting show.  Check it out from “Sol Guy’s” YouTube Channel – Richard:

Gladshot’s EP “Maxwell’s Cool Demon”

gladshot

Gladshot is a group that gets it’s style from the late 1960’s. Their music is like a funkedelic type music (mix between funk and psychedelic music). The beats are “trippy” and the lyrics are “wavy”, but understandable, which is difficult for this type of music. A lot of times the lyrics get lost in the mumbling. Gladshot doesn’t do that, one can enjoy the rhythm and the lyrics both. This will be an acquired taste for individuals, but for the style of music they play Gladshot is one to check out. – Richard

We don’t have a sample of Gladshot’s music from their EP Maxwell’s Cool Demon, but if you follow the link it will take you to their website to give them a listen: http://www.gladshot.com/

We will also be featuring them in a podcast review for next month.

The Wiley Ones are Here!

city bird publicitywileyone2

Wiley Ones look like they like to enjoy themselves.  We have been given the opportunity  of listening to their latest single “Thank You New York”.  I have also listened to “Kill it all With Love” .  The band has a simple sound that is refreshing.  They don’t have the strong drums and hard guitar riffs.  It’s more of a blending of folk/pop.  So everyone that enjoys that will likely enjoy The Wiley Ones.

City Bird Publicity has not only given me the chance to listen to The Wiley Ones’, “Thank You New York”, they have given you the same opportunity through SoundCloud.  Give it a listen, I think you will enjoy it – Richard

Powers’ Lets us “Touch the World”

blackpandaPRpowers

Powers’ doesn’t really want to be placed in a specific genre, so each individual song can have a different feel to it.  With “Touch the World”, Powers’ goes into an Electric Techno feeling type of music.  Once you get into the song it has a catchy rhythm and lyrics.  They don’t dive to much into the the Techno feel so I think everyone will enjoy this.  Plus how can I not like a song referencing a comic book character.  For those of you that know me will understand that comment.  Anyway you don’t have to take my word for it Powers’ has made this available for you to listen to and watch their music video through their YouTube channel – Richard

Night Club Lives Up to the Name

musenightclub

Night Club is the duo Emily Kavanaugh, vocalist, and Mark Brooks, producer.  They have a Synth Pop Dance feel to their music.  You can here their music being played while you are out clubbing very easily.  The beats tell your body “get up and dance!” and if nothing else you will be nodding your head to it.  Having the duo cover INXS’ single “Need You Tonight” is completely appropriate.  They have played with the cover oh so little.  To me that makes this cover one of the better covers I’ve heard.  Don’t take my word for it.  The MuseBox is letting you listen to it below through SoundCloud – Richard

8-Bit Operator: A Tribute to Depeche Mode

kdt-pr logo8bit

 

Today is the release date of 8-BIT OPERATORS – A TRIBUTE TO DEPECHE MODE- Enjoy The Science.  This date is also the 30th anniversary of the Apple II 8-bit computer that 8bitweapon and ComputeHer use on this release. 

This entire album utilizes “​microchip synthpunk” technology… the sound character delivered by various micro-chips made iconic in the late 20th century (in Nintendos, Ataris, Gameboys, Commodore 64s, Speak & Spells, etc.), and when these devices are musically re-tooled, adapted, or even “circuit-bent”, brand-new creative options and sound palettes are invented.

8-Bit Operators is in our schedule for a podcast review.  So come back in a couple of weeks when we will be recording our ComicPop Rockin’ in the Dirt episodes.  April is currently away on vacation, but we do have four episodes in the can before she left that will be coming out in the next few weeks. – Richard
