Since my team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl I was only half interested in the game. But the commercials hit and did they hit. To begin with what has my biggest entry for the Summer Blockbuster Season is Solo: A Star Wars Story. I’m a Star Wars fan and just like with the comic book movies, I’m enjoying the ride. Now instead of just a Super Bowl TV Spot we get an official teaser trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Annachristie Sapphire is sharing with our listeners her new single “Cut The Line” from her upcoming EP Desert Car. When the single starts out it has a ethereal feel to it and then transitions into a more traditional folk/americana sound during the chorus. From there “Cut The Line” goes back and forth for an interesting mix. It gives the listener a relaxed feel to experience Annachriste’s sound. Annachristie’s voice fits well with this style and I can see more coming from her that I will enjoy. So until we get word of when her Desert Car EP will release Annachriste Sapphire wants you to enjoy “Cut The Line” through SoundCloud – Richard

Disco Shrine gives us an electronic/disco sound with her latest single “Up In The Air”. I really enjoy Disco Shrine’s lower alto range. It blends in well with the instrumentals, but doesn’t get lost in them. The verse leads the listener on a journey that culminates with a flowing chorus that sweeps you away. The journey that it taken within this song is intentional as it represents Disco Shrine’s parents journey to the United States from Iran. “Up In The Air” is available now and she has more releases planned. Here’s Disco Shrine’s “Up In The Air” through SoundCloud – Richard:
I Kill Giants is an adaptation from Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Nimura’s graphic novel. This is one that will appeal to many people, not just comic book fans. This is a heartfelt story and one that I would highly recommend for anyone to read. Very excited to see how the movie will be. Thanks to MovieClips Trailers for the following trailer:
Blake Brown and The American Dust Choir is sharing with our listeners their lead track, “Stop Shakin'”, from the upcoming LP Long Way Home. Straight out of the gate with the guitar intro this single just hit me with a fun vibe. To me it is very reminiscent of the 1960’s Beach sound reminding me of something you would hear from Jan & Dean and the like. Blake’s voice has a smoky quality to it that lends itself well for me, but I grew up loving Bryan Adams. With all this going on this single has a simple and catchy rhythm that is infectious and just gets you into a good mood. Very interested in what Blake has in store with the rest of the Long Way Home LP due out this March. Until then enjoy Blake Brown and the American Dust Choir’s single “Stop Shakin'” through SoundCloud – Richard:
