Ep. 14 of ComicPop Visits with Young Lyons’ Lead Singer John Lyons

Ep. 14 of ComicPop Visits with Young Lyons’ Lead Singer John Lyons

Join us as we visit with John Lyons, lead singer of the band Young Lyons.  During the visit we discuss Young Lyons’ EP Crash Course.  One of our discussion points is the lyrics to the song “Girlfriends Got Me Down”, which centers around the use of an explicit word.  So this is your warning if you are listening in a public place or at work you might want to wear headphones.  However, don’t let this dissuade you from listening to the visit, because it was a great discussion, not just on how lyrics can effect a song and make it have more emotion by using different words, but the bands style, influences and the music industry in general.  We had a great time and enjoyed having John on the show.  You can click the link below to listen to the visit, go to our website, www.comicpoplibrary.com, or catch it on our iTunes feed when it uploads a little later.

I want to thank Karla MacDonald, of the Muse Box, for coordinating this visit.  You can check out their site below along with Young Lyons site and Facebook page.

Ep. 13 of ComicPop Visits with Metropolis America’s Lead Vocalist Cristian Mora

Ep. 13 of ComicPop Visits with Metropolis America’s Lead Vocalist Cristian Mora

In this episode April, Chris and Richard visit with the lead vocalist and bass player Cristian Mora, of the band Metropolis America.  Cristian was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk with us about the band’s music and current project for the Summer with their “Cold Pop” Tracks.  We had a great time and enjoyed having him on the show.  You can click the link below to listen to the visit, go to our website, www.comicpoplibrary.com, or catch it on our iTunes feed when it uploads a little later.

After you listen to the show, check out the links below to Metropolis America’s FaceBook page and their website where Cristian commented that listeners can download their music at no cost!  You can’t beat great music at that price and it shows how serious the band is about sharing their music with their fans.  The site also has their music videos that you can watch and you can sign up for their e-newsletter to get updated information on the band, when it happens.

I want to thank Margo Drgos, of the MuseBox, for helping behind the scenes to make this visit possible.

Ep. 12 of ComicPop Visits with Lolita Dark’s Lead Singer, Ray

Hello everyone and welcome to ComicPop Visits, Episode 12.  Today we sit down and visit with Lolita Dark’s lead singer, Ray.  Ray was kind enough to take a break in her busy schedule and visit with April, Richard and Matt.  It was a blast talking with her and we enjoyed having her on the show.

Ray mentioned Lolita Dark’s new music video for the song “Zesshou”.  It was before the actual release date so we held on to this visit until well after Zesshou’s music video’s official release date.  Click here to view the video on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io7GYVycgE8.  “Zesshou” is the featured song for this visit and then when Episode 36 of ComicPop Library is released we will have samples of three other songs from their debut album Tokyo Status.

You can listen to the visit below or on iTunes when it gets picked up on our Feed later today.  Thank you to everyone for your continued support and keep spreading the word about us.
