You get the brass, the rhythm, and the vocals all give you that disco feel, so get on the dance floor. Here’s Salt Petal’s “Disco Rats”, through SoundCloud, from their Rare Hearts album that is available for your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
The Dark Tower adaptation from Stephen King’s novel has it’s first trailer released. I myself have only read part of the first book, so maybe I’m wrong, but this doesn’t remind me of the book. What do you think? Anyway here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers:

Another fun AMV for all of our AMV lovers. This one is from AMV-Groovy Love – Bestamvsofalltime Anime MV. The video was edited back in 2012 by SagexAMV with the song “Drive By” performed by Train and the anime Mayo Chiki, which is basically a harem anime. It’s a fun AMV, but it does have some risque moments throughout, so you have been warned. Have some fun with AMV-Groovy Love:
Vs is coming at us with their single “Listen”. This is one that will hit all the alternative rock fans. If starts out with a peaceful feel for the first verse and then comes in heavy on the chorus, back to peaceful for the second verse and then heavy again for the reminder of the single. Vs has an EP planned for a Summer release so if you are looking for a new band in the alt. rock arena this will fill the void. Here’s Vs’ “Listen” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Okay first off why would anyone do this? And then how many close calls can you have? And finally…Ah H311 no! (figure it out, pretty sure it won’t take you long). Anyway here’s the trailer for 47 Meters Down through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Trishes is sharing with our listeners again. This time she is coming to us with an upbeat single that will catch you from the beginning of the single, “Animal”. “Animal” has a bit of modern feel, with the bass beat, as well as an older feel to it, especially with the “bum, bums” at the beginning and throughout the song. Very nice job with the upbeat feel…everyone knows I enjoy those type of songs and her vocals are on point again. So enjoy Trishes “Animal” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Finally after several teasers we get the official trailer for Cars 3. Check it out through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Silver Rose is hitting that 1970’s psychedelic/pop feel with her single “Take Me Home”. Today she is sharing with our listeners her music video for the single, which the director shot as a home video reminiscent of 8mm film footage. Which fits the ’70’s time frame feel of the song. Silver Rose blends her voice in with the instruments just as you would expect from a psychedelic single. Here’s Silver Rose’s music video for “Take Me Home” to check out through her YouTube channel and then you can find her EP from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
