Psychocide is slamming it with their hard rock/psychedelic style. The group’s album, Alcohol & Bad Decisions, is available now that you can find at your digital vendor of choice. Psychocide is sharing with us their music video for their single “Mr. Suit” which takes on the adage of what goes around comes around. I am definitely interested in checking out the rest of the album after hearing “Mr. Suit” and I think any hard rock fan will. Here’s Psychocide’s music video “Mr. Suit” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Harper Collins Publishers has a video up on their YouTube channel celebrating 200 years of publishing. If you are a bibliophile then you have probably purchased a Harper Collins publication. In the video see if you have read any of the titles, I know I have! The short montage is set to a catchy tune and will brighten your day remember books you have read and ones that you will read in the future – Richard:
Narrow Waves wants you to catch their wave with their single “Hear Me Out”. This single takes the folk sound and makes it hyper with a fast moving fun beat. This is one where, for me, the instrumentals take the lead getting the listener pulled into the song and then you take in the lyrics. The group has released their EP later this year entitled Letters From Another State so be sure to go to your digital vendor of choice to support them. Until then take a moment and get jacked up with Narrow Waves’ “Hear Me Out” through SoundCloud – Richard:
If you are an Eve Dallas fan I know you have already picked up Echoes in Death. If you haven’t taken a stab at J.D. Robb’s (Nora Roberts) series you might try them out. Just be prepared for being there for a while since this is the 44th book of the best selling series. Thanks to St. Martin Press’ YouTube channel for the trailer:
J. Ven is giving the ComicPop listeners a chance to check out his single “Barely Alive”. This single has a great pop/R&B feel to it that just draws the listener in from the beginning of the song. J. Ven does have a softer voice so he will have to be wary of the instrumentals occasionally overtaken his voice. In “Barely Alive” he walks that fine line of blending his voice with the instrumentals during the chorus where the music swells, but he works it well. Loved his voice, loved his sound and can’t wait to hear what else he will be releasing. Here’s J. Ven’s “Barely Alive” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Dark Horse Comics is continuing the Aliens franchise with Aliens: Dead Orbit. If you are a fan of this universe you will want to jump on board with issue #1 or if you prefer the collected editions for your library’s or for a public library Dark Horse is pretty good at collecting their series for just such a reason. Here’s the trailer for Aliens: Dead Orbit through Dark Horse’s YouTube channel:
Emma Charleston is back and sharing with us her latest single “Wonderland”. Emma gives us a folksy ballad that fits her strong clear voice. With her second folk single out this seems to be the genre of choice for her, but as with any artist they will have fun with other genres as well. As with Emma’s first single “Falling”, “Wonderland” will be enjoyed by our listeners of folk music and some that want to enjoy a solid ballad that transports you into your mind’s memory of a loved shared. Here’s Emma Charleston’s “Wonderland” through SoundCloud – Richard:
The Thor: Ranarok trailer hit yesterday. I have to admit that I have been loving all of the comic based movies and this one will be added to my must see list when it is released. Here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
