Omar Alhindi is sharing with our listener’s his latest single. In “Don’t Take My Love Away” he gives a solid performance. From the instruments to his voice it is all clicking. It also has a smooth flow to it that washes over the listener. When listening to the single I went to Hall & Oates in style, it really reminded me of something they would do and Omar’s voice is similar to Hall’s as well. “Don’t Take My Love Away” is from Omar’s debut album Bedhead Part 1 that you should be able to locate on your digital vendor of choice. Here’s Omar Alhindi’s “Don’t Take My Love Away” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Monogold is sharing with our listeners their second music video. This one is for their single “Naked”. The single and music video remind me the early 1990’s. The rhythm of the single just carries that feel with it and the singers blending with the instruments is the same 1990’s feel. The music video has a vibe that seems to be an homage to the film Benny & Joon from the 1990’s as well. I get this vibe because of the look and quirks of the lead in the video. If you dig Monogold be sure to look for their EP Yolk available through digital vendors. Here’s Monogold’s music video for their single “Naked” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars is coming to select theaters on August 21, through Fathom Events. It is a CG animated movie that is a sequel to the live action Starship Troopers movie of 1997. Ed Neumeier, the screenwriter for the 1997 film, is the screenwriter again for this sequel and Casper Van Dien (Johnny Rico) and Dina Meyer (Dizzy Flores) will reprise their roles by providing the voices for their characters. So check with you local theaters and maybe you will be one of the few that can see this film on the big screen. Here’s the trailer through Fathom Events YouTube channel:
Late Night Episode is a new alt/rock band that is hitting the Summer with a great feeling song, with their single “Talk About Love”. This single just has a fun rhythm that gets into your body and makes you want to move. If your like me I dance in my chair even when I listened to “Talk About Love”. The vocals and the synth echo takes me back to high school in the 1980’s – earlier 1990’s. Just a fun single for the Summer time. The group is working on an EP so keep your eyes open on your digital vendors for when they release it. As of this time I have no date or name of their EP to give you. But here is a taste of Late Night Episode and their single “Talk About Love” through SoundCloud – Richard:
