Ghost Loft Takes on “LNOE”

BRITISH / CANADIAN INDIE OUTFIT
The High Wire
Premiere FREE Ghost Loft Remix of Buzzed About Single “LNOE”

“’LNOE’ captivates with a high-flying melody that sticks, but the indie pop anthem has been transplanted into an electronic setting, taking on an almost apocalyptic tone that makes the “last night on Earth” line really come to life.”
Ghost Loft has been busy this last year in Remixing songs for several groups.  This is another one to add to their portfolio, “LNOE” performed by The High Wire.
 
The High Wire began in 2007 as a vehicle for singer/songwriter Tim Crompton. Tim started out recording tracks solo with Producer Julian Simmons (Guillemots, Midlake), until West coast Canadian Alexia Hagen and UK native Ross Forrest joined Tim as core members of The High Wire and the three-piece vision was established.

“Byegone” track by Volcano Choir

Volcano Choir has released “Byegone” for their latest track.  I enjoyed the song, which is not an upbeat fast song, it is more laid back.  However, this is one where I wish they would have just done it as an instrumental.  The lyrics are great, but I love the instrumental portion of this song and wish they would have left it a pure instrumental song.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for the track below so you can listen to “Byegone” and be sure to check them out for more indie music news http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/

Bullitts New Single is Now Available to Hear

The Bullitts Reign:
With The Release Of The
Epic New Single “Murder Death Kill” Featuring Jay Electronica
This song isn’t what most people will think it’s about.  Most people will see “Murder Death Kill” and think right away that the artists are promoting violence.  However, from what I got out of the song is that it is trying to relate that this is were society is heading and are kids will have to deal with a harsher world than what we have now if we don’t do something to alter this outcome.  This is not only through violence needing to be less, but companies needing to rethink their actions and what happens when “accidents” happen.
The song itself I was not a big fan of until you hit the rap segment of the song.  The falsetto just didn’t do it for me.
The latest chapter in The Bullitts impressive story is the much-anticipated release of the Debut CD:  They Die By Dawn And Other Stories Out July 9.

In preparation for the album release The Bullitts drops his latest track: 
“Murder Death Kill”
More On The Bullitts:  The Bullitts is A Man.  A Plan. A Movement.  The Bullitts is the musical moniker for U.K. Based singer/ songwriter/producer/ filmmaker/ renaissance man Jeymes Samuel. The Bullitts is an evolution and revolution in music and film. A well-rounded talent who not only creates groundbreaking music in the form of unforgettable songs, but also directs classic visuals and movies that accompanies them.

MiniPop Ep. 1: April’s on the Radio!

MiniPop Ep. 1: April’s on the Radio!

Welcome to the first episode of what we are going to call MiniPop’s.  Minipops are going to be shorter recordings about stories that take place between our regular recordings or short reviews that we don’t have time for during the regular show.

For our first MiniPop April was invited to join Bruce Enrietto, as a Co-Host, of his “Bruce in the Morning Show” on Q97 Continuous Country, in Garden City, Kansas.  Bruce was kind enough to record segments of the show so April could share them with ComicPop’s audience.  So thank you to Bruce and !97 and if you are in the Garden City, Kansas area be sure to listen to Q97 Continuous Country and Bruce in the Morning.  Click on the link below to listen to the show, find it on our website, www.comicpoplibrary.com, or wait until later today and it will be up on our iTunes feed.

Thank to everyone out there for your continued support and remember you can always e-mail us with your questions, comments or recommendations at admin@comicpoplibrary.com.
