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.
BlackPanda PR and Aili Watanabe send us the next outing for Claus Zinger. This time it is his music video for his single “No One I Know”. This single I would squarely place in the experimental genre. This is one you will have to listen to and judge for yourself if you enjoy it or not and that is the whole thing with experimental music. Thanks to Aili and Claus who provides us with the music video through his YouTube channel – Richard:
Taped3ck’s “Hey L.A. (Los Angeles)” has a touch of angry rock to it and the music video has some elements of Purge, with the face masks happening. The song itself has a good rhythm to it and is catchy. It isn’t angry enough to drive listeners away from the song. And if nothing else you got to love the hair! Go “hawk”! Here “Hey L.A. (Los Angeles)” through the bands YouTube channel – Richard:
Ghost Loft’s latest if the single “Overflow”. With this single they take the motion of water and place it within the song. “Overflow” had a relaxing and rhythmic flow to it. Check it out through SoundCloud you will enjoy it – Richard:
Olivver the Kid comes to us by way of his former band The Neighbourhood. This is Bryan Sammis’ single, “I Want It’, released through the label Taste and Tone. For the first sound after striking out on his own Sammis has a single that is a bit rock and a bit electronic. He definitely can hit those higher notes, of the chorus, but I like him down in a more comfortable range which we get to hear while he is singing the verse. This one will get people excited and ready to hear more. Check out “I Want It’ through SoundCloud – Richard:
VYD wants us to fly away to the moon on a magic rocket ride. As they say in their debut single “Rockets”. This single has a nice upbeat feeling with some sensuality mixed in for your pleasure. You can listen to the single over at Surviving the Golden Age’s website here: http://survivingthegoldenage.com/vyd-rockets/Check it out I think you might like it – Richard
“Janet Jean” comes to us from Tru Fam. The music to this single has a great beat, the urban hip hop style with a middle eastern flare to it. Not sure if that is just for this individual single or if this style is in all of their music, but I enjoyed it…something a little bit different. Sorry about this next bit guys. I’m not a fan of auto-tune. An artists voice can stand on its own no matter who’s it is. You gentlemen have good voices let the spot light be on them. That is just me, others will like it and enjoy the style. Check out “Janet Jean” through SoundCloud – Richard
Mandi Perkins and Dillon Pace, make up the band of Verona, and they have currently released the single “Stay Gold”. Their music is Synth influenced, but with a heavy beat in this single. It feels like it will be a power ballad but it never hits that hard chorus that you expect after the buildup. Instead they pulled back and kept the lyrics softer. It’s an interesting mixture and worked well for them. Check out “Stay Gold” through SoundCloud – Richard:
“This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” is the latest release from Janine and the Mixtape. Janine’s voice just captures me from the start. The transition from the verse to the chorus hit just right to give “This Moment” an extra push with the down beat. The music video is also enjoyable to watch…great job all around. Check out “This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” on their YouTube channel – Richard:

“BLU” has a pop techno feel to it that will grab that fan following really fast for the group Verre. The lead singer has a nice clear voice that I enjoy and I like the beat that they have with the music. Only a few spots within the single that I didn’t really enjoy but that is just a matter of taste. Take a listen to Verre’s “BLU” through SoundCloud – Richard:
