Now For Scarlett Rabe’s Music Video “Battle Cry”

Now after seeing a brief video with Scarlett Rabe, you get to see her music video “Battle Cry”.  With Scarlett April and I disagree on how we feel about “Battle Cry”.  Here are April’s thoughts.

The openning of “Battle Cry” was really cool, I appreciate a hard bass. I was taken aback when she started singing and am still not sure if I liked it. I enjoyed the chorus of the song alright but I’m afraid that’s all. The song was alright, I didn’t reslly get anything special out of it and probably won’t go back to the song on my own.

-April B.
You can see that April was indifferent about the song.  I on the other hand liked Scarlett’s voice from the start.  It has a slightly unique quality to it.  I also enjoyed the tempo of the song and how Scarlett’s voice blended with the instruments in the chorus, but no enough to drown her out.  I also enjoyed the spotlight on the piano.  I miss the variety of instrumentation that used to be in songs.
So you can see April and I have differing opinions.  Which is great that’s what makes this world go round.  However, now you can watch and listen to Scarlett Rabe’s music video “Battle Cry” and make you on decision.  Thank you  to Scarlett for sharing this on her YouTube channel:

Kid Felix Music Video for “I am a River”

The vocals of “I Am the River” immediately draw you into the song and keeps you there. The beginning isn’t very busy and I appreciate the simplicity. Even after the drop the instrumentals complimented the vocals, rather than overpowering them. I found myself putting the song on repeat and really feeling the song. Everything in the song had a purpose and I could hear the truth of the song from how it was done.

-April B.

Jessica Childress Hits the Scene

Jessica Childress
Don’t Forget My Name
4 February 2014

  I love the smooth quality of Jessica’s music. The music gives off a smooth jazz feel that I could never get tired of. Jessica herself can definitely sing. She’s got a lower range that she can sing to no end. She’s unique in her own way and doesn’t sound to gruff and scratchy. I can easily see her performing in an after hours club with smoke in the air. I’ll definitely come back to her music and you should to if you have a soft spot for jazz.

Adrian Delivers Her Album “Be Your Own Saviour”

 

ADRIAN RELEASES NEW ALBUM

BE YOUR OWN SAVIOUR

Soaked in dark grunge and 90’s alt rock, Adrian has the power trio of powerful female vocals, slick guitar notes and great production behind the release of her new album Be Your Own Saviour. The angst and aggression paired with her edgy style create an album that satisfies those looking for hard tunage with just a slight hint of appealing pop.

The album is a heavy rock journey of melancholy nostalgia with Adrian cooing against shaded guitar notes and gritty drum beats. Adrian, never one to leave a listener unelectrified, sewed her songs together and created a solid album that will leave grungy arena pop fans salivating for more.

“I have mixed feelings about Adrain. There are multiple elements of her music that I enjoy but I’m not sure if it vibes well all put together. Her song Bluespace was an instrumental song, which I have no problem with. The song just never really went anywhere, it got a little boring, to put it bluntly. Her other songs were a little hard for me to listen to as well. The music seemed to be fighting each other instead of complimenting one another. I wasn’t a big fan of the album cover either, it was a bit weird to me and didn’t make a lot of sense.”

-April B.

If you like the ’90’s grunge sound then Adrian might be one for you.  Check out her website and facebook page and check out her concert dates and listen to her live.

Bearstronaut’s are Landing at SXSW

Bearstronaut
Bearstronaut set to play SXSW March 2014

Whether on stage or on record, the Boston-based electronic-pop quartet has made a name in their hometown for sparking instant dance parties. Despite their Northeast origins, Bearstronaut has been dubbed “tank-top pop” due to their warm, tropical synth-pop sound – or as Interview Magazine put it, “a nimble sprint through tropical rhythms and beach-side dance party revelry.”

Bearstronaut recently performed the highly anticipated Boston Calling Music Festival alongside Solange, Kendrick Lamar, and Vampire Weekend.  They have also shared the stage with acts such as Passion Pit, fun., A-Trak, Bad Rabbits, St. Lucia, Body Language, the Shout Out Louds, Surfer Blood and Divine Fits.  Be sure to catch Bearstronaut at their SXSW performance in Austin!

DATE: Saturday March 8, 2014
TIME: 1-3PM
VENUE: Maggie Mae’s @ The Roof Top

I LOVE this group!! I love the hard driving bass and the electrifying techno they put on top was like the icing on the cake! I was immediately into their songs from the beginning and kept my attention the whole time. Their lyrics are awesome and I really like the retro feel to their music. The only thing I didn’t like was not getting to listen to this group sooner!

Electric Eye set to Play at SXSW

Electric Eye
Psych rockers Electric Eye band to watch for at Eurosonic and SXSW 2014

January 2014
Psych rock band Electric Eye from Norway set to play SXSW 2014

Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Electric Eye play droned out psych-rock inspired by the blues, India and the ever more expanding universe.

The four piece released their long awaited debut LP “Pick-up, Lift-off, Space, Time” in April 2013. The album received positive mentions in Norwegian media, which have spread to international blogs and radio stations. The album was a co-released in the US and the UK by Norway’s Klangkollektivet and London based Fuzz Club Records.

Throughout the fall of 2013, Electric Eye toured Scandinavia and Europe and were given rave reviews for their performance at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik.  The group continued on to headline the Oslo Psych Fest and were featured on the compilation LP released by Fuzz Club and Austin psych fest called “The reverb conspiracy vol.2”. 
Highly recommended to fans of The Black Angels, Secret Machines and Spacemen 3.

 

Electric Eye will play Eurosonic Noorderslag on January 16th.  Be sure to catch the Norweigan psych rockers as they make their debut SXSW appearence in Austin this March!

“This four piece are all about long jams and pushing their rack of pedals to the limit. The bassline starts and weaves a hypnotic trance like rhythm while layers of otherworldly sounds are added resulting in one hell of a racket. I knew this band would be good having checked out their sounds on the internet before leaving home but I didn’t know they would be this good. Fantastic!”
-Emmett Mullaney, louderthanwar.com

“This is by far my favourite record of the week and Electric Eye is strongly becoming my new favourite band, I would highly recommend this to fans of the likes of Hookworms, Follakzoid or any other Sacred Bones stuff, absolutely marvelous!”
-Norman Records, Leeds, UK
