TRISTN’s Single “Sky Wide Open”

With “Sky Wide Open” TRISTN gives our listeners a fun single to check out.  It starts out and you wonder what’s going to happen, and just seconds into the song the rhythm shifts to a fun electronica beat.  You have a nice base beat that ties the whole thing together, but at the chorus TRISTN hits you with everything hitting you full force.  When I listen to “Sky Wide Open” I hear the influences of bands like the Bangles, which I love.  This is just a fun song that everyone can get up and dance around to whether you are at the club or just at the house, you can’t help but move.  If this is any indication of TRISTN’s January LP, out September 8, you’ll want to add this to your music library.  Here’s TRISTN’s “Sky Wide Open” for you to enjoy until the LP drops – Richard:

Town Meeting’s Single “West of Seattle”

I wish all town meetings could be this way.  The folk/americana band Town Meeting is sharing with our listeners their single “West of Seattle”.  The single starts out as a simple folk sound.  Then when the vocals come in you get transported back to the late 1960’s -1970’s, when folk/americana was in it’s heyday with the variety of artists like John Denver and Bob Dylan.  Town Meeting has a nice clean sound that fits the genre well and will appeal to listeners.  They just came out with their EP Geography, Part 1 that “West of Seattle” is on, so be sure to look them up on your digital vendor of choice and while you’re doing that Town Meeting wants you to enjoy their single “West of Seattle” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Sword Art Online AMV

Just thought we’d do an AMV since it has been a while.  This one is from YouTuber sloken18amv.  This individual has taken scenes from Sword Art Online and edited them around the rockin’ single “Unbreakable” by FireFlight.  Really nice job and it fits the scenes well.  The full title of the AMV is “Sword Art Online AMV – Unbreakable 2013 [Sakura-con2013 Entry]”.  Here’s sloken18amv’s Sword Art Online AMV:

Tastes Like Chicken’s Single “Bottle in My Hand”

How can you not like a band that calls themselves Tastes Like Chicken?  The band is giving our listeners the opportunity to check out their single “Bottle in My Hand” from their album Heartaches and Hangovers.  Tastes Like Chicken has a great country sound that fans will love.  With the tone they have in their sound I can hear them rattling off many more bar songs.  Their album is available for purchase through your digital vendor of choice, but before you jump over to download the album they wanted to give you a “taste” of their music with “Bottle In My Hand” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Bright Trailer

Will Smith is getting back into the fantasy/science fiction world with his latest project Bright.  Bright is a NetFlix movie that is reminiscent of MIB, instead of it dealing with agents dealing with aliens it’s officers dealing with fantasy folk.  With Bright, NetFlix is diving more into original content and it looks good.  Here’s the trailer, for Bright, through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:

Leah Martin’s New Single “Breathe Into Me”

Leah Martin is sharing with ComicPop listeners her new single “Breathe Into Me”.  With this single Leah is stretching into the techno/rock.  “Breathe Into Me” has a very Steampunk feel to it that many of our listeners will get into.  She gets close to an experimental rock sound by keeping the single right on the edge and like I already mentioned she hits the Steampunk sound perfectly for me.  “Breathe Into Me” is from Leah’s forth coming EP entitled Freedom Beckons.  So before it hits here’s Leah Martin’s “Breathe Into Me” through SoundCloud for you to experience – Richard:
