Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden Single “Blue Hotel”

museKate Tucker1

Usually I don’t like higher pitched female vocals, but in Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden’s case I really liked it. Kate was softer but she wasn’t wispy. There’s a big difference between singing higher with breath control than without and Kate proves that. She had enough support and strength behind her sound to work with the rest of the music instead of getting overpowered by it. Speaking of, I loved the groove from the instrumentals. The more rock feel gave their sound just the right amount of edge to really stand out in a good way. From the very beginning I was really into the music. Their name is a little long for me but that’s a minor detail, I know plenty of bands that have longer names that have gone big. This is another great band to keep your eye on.

Young Rising Sons single “King of the World”

museyoung sons

Young Rising Sons is my type of music! From their look to their sound everyone appeals to my tastes artistically. I always talk about wanting crisper vocals but sometimes the opposite works just as good-if not better. Having crisper instrumentals with a more static sound for vocals is brilliant and makes the music even more interesting. The lyrics are amazing, poetic and truthful. The instrumentals also stand on their own and keep the song moving and the listener interested because they aren’t too repetitive. Young Rising Sons is great and I think I just found my back to school obsession.

-April B.

Immigrant Union’s single “I Can’t Return”

museimmigrant union

Immigrant Union has figured out the right amount of soft and hard sounds. The mellower, soft rock feel of the music is balanced with the sharp sounds of the vocals and backup singers. Even though the vocals aren’t crisp, compared to the rest of the music they sound crisp. It’s very hard to find the right balance when going into the retro, soft rock genre and Immigrant Union has figured it out. The only thing I have to pick out is that the music video is a little too retro. I loved the idea they were going for but it didn’t come off as a naturally retro video. It came off more as a 21st Century band trying too hard to capture a 20th Century look.

Congratulations to Night Club.  When you watch the trailer below you will definitely see why Night Club was tapped to score the music for the animated series.  Thanks to Comedy Central for allow us to share the trailer to Moonbeam City:

Night Club Lives Up to the Name

musenightclub

Night Club is the duo Emily Kavanaugh, vocalist, and Mark Brooks, producer.  They have a Synth Pop Dance feel to their music.  You can here their music being played while you are out clubbing very easily.  The beats tell your body “get up and dance!” and if nothing else you will be nodding your head to it.  Having the duo cover INXS’ single “Need You Tonight” is completely appropriate.  They have played with the cover oh so little.  To me that makes this cover one of the better covers I’ve heard.  Don’t take my word for it.  The MuseBox is letting you listen to it below through SoundCloud – Richard

Get in the Grove with “Best Days of Our Lives”

museajax

Better Than All the Rest: Ajax Ray O’Vaque Reveals “Best Days of Our Lives” Single, Video
Anthony J. Resta’s alter ego launches first single from forthcoming Dreaming in Subtitles full-length out July 1st

The intro for Ajax’s “Best Days of Our Lives” was really cool, I really like the guitar part. I was kind of surprised when Ajax came in though, his voice is a little too high and airy for me to enjoy. I like all of the instrumentals and rhythms, they sound really awesome and the lyrics are really cool. His hook is good too and it gets in your head. The only thing I didn’t really like was, again, how high he sings. If he lowered it a bit I think I would enjoy it a lot more but I also know that there are people out there that will enjoy how the song is right now.

-April B.

When I hear this it takes me back to the ’50’s and ’60’s.  Especially the sound which takes me back to when the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, or any other surfing band would produce.  All the way from the rhythm of the music to the higher voices that was popular for male singers back then. – Richard

Check out Ajax’s video from his “Ajax Rayovac” channel on YouTube and see what you think:
