We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Well-Known Strangers will be one to consider for you playlist. With “Another Sun”, the group gives listeners a light rock/pop sound. I loved the rhythms and Betsy Ade’s Alto voice comes through nice and clear conveying the lyrics of the single really well. They have just released Found that “Another Sun” is on so grab it up and don’t let them be strangers to you. Enjoy the music video of “Another Sun” that the group is sharing with us from their YouTube channel – Richard
Lady Low is sharing with us their latest music video for the single “Hello Sweet Goodbye”. I don’t know what it is about this group, but I am still liking what they are doing. Lady Low has a way for having darkly beautiful songs. I know it sounds weird, but I can’t think of another way to say it. This single is no exception. The group pulls you in and you just absorb their music into your skin. The video they did for this single is equally absorbing. It is simply done, but I really enjoyed it. A job really well done on all accounts. Check out Lady Low’s “Hello Sweet Goodbye” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
Check out this awesome Lego construct of the Hyrule Castle, from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess video game. Joseph Zawada was the builder and he states it took him 2 years to complete the project. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for this cool notification. The “Beyond the Brick” YouTube channel has a video of him discussing it so check it out:
Take a listen to the latest single from Josh Stevens, “Hill Top”. The single also features Spencer Ludwig and is part of Stevens’ EP Story of Summer. “Hill Top”, starts out like it’s going to be a ballad and then it slowly builds until Josh transitions the single into a pop rock rhythm. Once into the single you get a great upbeat song that I had a fun time listening to. Check out “Hill Top’s” lyric music video through Josh’s YouTube channel – Richard:
We did the spot light on Nick de la Hoyde with his single “By My Side”. We enjoyed the single and now everyone can enjoy his music video for the same single. It is done in black and white style for the most part, which to me gives the video a classic feel to it. If you enjoyed Hoyde’s music you will want to check out his EP Passion that can be found on most digital services. Check out Nick’s music video for “By My Side” through his YouTube channel – Richard:
With the name Friday on Elm Street I expected a hard rock dark feel to this music. What we get with “Dear Beth” is a light pop rock single. Once I wrapped my heard of preconceived notions to what the band style is, I enjoyed the single. It is a synth heavy single and the lyrics are clear and everything has a catchy rhythm to “Dear Beth”. I don’t know it the style is through the rest of Friday on Elm Street’s music, but with this single my mind kept going back to what the Scooby-Doo cartoons would play within their episodes, just fun lighthearted music. Check out Friday on Elm Street’s lyric video for “Dear Beth” on their YouTube channel and pick up his album that drops on the 12th of this month – Richard:
The Autumn Stone duo is sharing with us their latest music video for their single “Vampires”. This single definitely has that psycodelic feel to it. However, if you can call a psycodelic song tame this one would be in that category. “Vampires” has that slow feel to it, but not to far out there in it’s musicality. The music video is probably more out there than the single. Because the single isn’t to far out there I think it will appeal more to a general audience, but you definitely know they where going for a specific genre when they recorded the single. Check out the “Vampire” music video from James Cassidy’s YouTube channel – Richard:
The Patternist comes to us by way of Portland and gives everyone a taste of his ElectoPop music with his lyric video for “Gone”. The beat to the single is catchy and keeps the listener interested in the single, however the vocals, to me, blend in to much with the instruments and at times is even over powered by the instruments. Gabe has a singing voice I want to hear more of. So for me tone down the instruments and give us those vocals for everyone to hear and appreciate. Check out the lyric video for “Gone” from Patternist’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Get ready to “nod” your head “away” again with Nodaway’s latest single “Hairspray”. Another great rhythmic tune and fun video. Keep delivering the fun Nodaway! Check out their music video from their YouTube channel- Richard:
It’s party time with Aer’s lastest “Keep You Here”, from the duo’s new album One of a Kind. Aer is sharing with us their music video to “Keep You Here”. The single itself has nice clear vocals and a simple clean catchy rhythm to this Pop/Hip Hop single. It’s a feel good song that really works well and I enjoyed. So check out Aer’s music video for “Keep You Here” and get to feeling good and have some fun – Richard:
