The Great Work’s Latest “Yellow Diamond”

city bird publicitygreatworks

Here is the latest single from The Great Work, “Yellow Diamond”.  This has a nice rock feel that everyone will like.  For me the instruments over powered the vocalist and to me would be more a more enjoyable single if they group could balance out their sound.  Give it a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:

Lindsay Mac Debut Single “Remember”

cyberpr1lindsey

The first thing that popped into my head at the beginning of Lindasy Mac’s “Remember” was….Owl City.  This single really harkens to his style.  It is very upbeat in tempo and her voice is very clear.  I love this style myself and hope she continued on for the rest of her EP entitled Animal Again.  Can’t wait to her more from Lindsay, but until then check out “Remember” through SoundCloud – Richard:

New from Adrian Croom: “Fast Forward”

muse2080_Album_Cover

Adrian Croom comes to with an instrumental that has flavors of hip/hop and traditional elements.  I wasn’t sure what to expect from his single “Fast Forward”, but I listened to it and came away enjoying it.  I like the simple style in my music at times and with “Fast Forward: having the piano present through the whole song I really enjoyed.  When the hip/hop comes in it takes a shift for me and almost feels like a futuristic sound that you would find in a science fiction movie.  Can’t wait to hear move from Adrian myself, but you can check out “Fast Forward” below through SoundCloud – Richard:

New World of Warcraft Titles

world

Blizzard Entertainment and Dark Horse Comics has announced that it will begin a series of books that will delve into the history and mythology of World of Warcraft.  However, you are going to have to wait a while for them.  The schedule release date for the first volume is November 4, with a retail price of $39.99.  I guess you can look at it as you have time to put back the money for it.

Year of October’s latest “Gone”

Year of October has a blending of Blues and Rock and that is evident in their latest single “Gone”.  The verse with Phlecia carries the bluesy feel, but then the song takes a step back for Josh to do a rock guitar riff.  This is an interesting mix and it worked for me.  Check out “Gone” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Spitty95’s Single “No Flex Zone”

spitty

Here’s one from one of our friends on Twitter, Spitty95, with the single “No Flex Zone”.  Wasn’t thrilled with the opening, but once the song came into focus they had a real clear sound.  Sometimes in Rap that can be a difficult thing.  The sound is more of a mainstream rap, something you could hear on even a pop station.  I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it does give Spitty95 more crossover appeal.  I have to comment, being a science fiction fan I loved the Back to the Future reference, it was fun to hear.  Take a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard
