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.
I Kill Giants is an adaptation from Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Nimura’s graphic novel. This is one that will appeal to many people, not just comic book fans. This is a heartfelt story and one that I would highly recommend for anyone to read. Very excited to see how the movie will be. Thanks to MovieClips Trailers for the following trailer:
Blake Brown and The American Dust Choir is sharing with our listeners their lead track, “Stop Shakin'”, from the upcoming LP Long Way Home. Straight out of the gate with the guitar intro this single just hit me with a fun vibe. To me it is very reminiscent of the 1960’s Beach sound reminding me of something you would hear from Jan & Dean and the like. Blake’s voice has a smoky quality to it that lends itself well for me, but I grew up loving Bryan Adams. With all this going on this single has a simple and catchy rhythm that is infectious and just gets you into a good mood. Very interested in what Blake has in store with the rest of the Long Way Home LP due out this March. Until then enjoy Blake Brown and the American Dust Choir’s single “Stop Shakin'” through SoundCloud – Richard:

He isn’t stopping there and wants to let everyone check out his new single. “What My Friends Talk About” is has a great indie/pop sound that pulls the listener in and just enjoy the music. Very catchy and will get your head to bobbing. I can see why Aidan is hitting it right now and can’t wait to see what else he comes out with.

Alright for those of you that now me I love ABBA and so it shouldn’t be any surprise I loved Mamma Mia! when it came out. Just a fun movie with fun music. Now we have Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again that looks just as fun and with more ABBA singles. And with the perfect casting of Cher. Watch the trailer, if you haven’t already, and you’ll know what I mean. Here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Kindo is back on the scene after a 4 year pause and want to share their newest single “Return to Me” with our listeners. Kindo is a slight modification of the bands original name. Some of you might remember them as The Reign of Kindo now it’s just Kindo. In “Return to Me” the band mixes in several sounds which is a little over powering at first, but once the listener gets attuned to what the band is doing the single is a fun listen. At the midpoint of the single I really latched on to this single loving that guitar coming in strong and the beat becoming stronger through the rest of the song. The vocals from out of the gate are nice and clear and drive this single forward with staying power that I really enjoyed. Check out Kindo’s newest single “Return to Me” through SoundCloud – Richard:

I will admit that with Metal the song has to hit me just right to enjoy it. With Tiavara’s single “Celestial Dance” they have hit that sweet spot with me. The group is sharing with our listeners their latest single that comes from the Delusional Tales of Grand Intentions LP, which will be available on April 27. “Celestial Dance” has an old school metal sound to it that I got into right away. Mixed in with that beat is a subtle Middle Eastern rhythm that goes in and out throughout the single that just added a layer to the single. Tiavara also gives the listener a message to take to heart and I especially like the lyric, “Don’t let them clip your wings”, good stuff loved it. If “Celestial Dance” is any indication of what their album will be like and I can see many fans enjoying it, so mark your calendars for when Tiavara’s Delusional Tales of Grand Intentions LP drops. Until then hit it hard with Tiavara’s “Celestial Dance” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Marvel’s YouTube channel is giving us a sneak peek at the upcoming Cloak & Dagger series that will be on Freeform this June. The scene is basically the opening where the two leads discover their powers, which is different from the comic book origin. Cloak & Dagger is a strong story about drug use, overdose, and experimenting with new forms of drugs. Looks like the Freeform series might be taking a little bit different approach, especially if you are a fan of Cloak & Dagger and now how they received their powers in the comic books. Here’s the sneak peek from Marvel’s Youtube channel:
