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.
Life Leone gives us the music video to their single “I Can’t Say No”. For some reason from what I have heard of their music just hits me right. They have an almost ’80’s/’90’s Boss sound, but with an edge. The video serves the song well, but I tend to like the story videos than band videos. That’s just me…take a look at it through the band’s YouTube channel and enjoy – Richard
Third Base gives us a remix of Morgan Shaughnessy single “Invincible”. I don’t always like remixes, however with “Invincible” it worked for me. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
Katie Trimble and The MuseBox is another Indie Music PR company that has given us great material over the years. We want to thank them for their continued support and they keep giving with Cafiene’s latest “Love Disease (Christmas in New York)”. Thank you to all that listen to the podcasts and visit our website:
I don’t know why but this song just hit me just right. Like Lady Low’s previous single this single, “When I Do Wrong” isn’t one that will get you up moving. It is a slower song, but that is their intent. The lyrics and instruments are simple, but evocative. Give “When I Do Wrong” a listen through SoundCloud – Richard
Riot Police is for individuals that like high pitched singers. When the lead started singing “She Knows” in his high register I felt a Maroon 5 influence. Even with the higher notes the vocalist is able to keep the lyrics clear and they keep the instrumentalist at a lower volume so not to interfere with the lead singer. Check out their video for “She Knows” from the bands YouTube Channel – Richard
Layne follows up her first single with an upbeat single entitled “I’d Go To Space With You”. This is a fun song that to harkens back to the songs from the late ’80’s. Just a fun song to get up and move your body to. Check it out through SoundCloud:

Lady Low reworks the single “Baby Baby”, originally released by The Vibrators in ’77. If you are not prepared for Lady Low’s sound it will probably make you say what is going on. However, once you get into the song and the style that they are singing, which they have termed “Romance Rock”, it is almost hypnotic. The single is slowed down and the lower voice register they sing in is also drawn out in the lyrics. This is definitely mood music, so check it out by clicking the link provided to Nothing but Hope and Passion’s website – Richard:
Life Leone is begin their tour to promote the EP Comes Crashing In, with the release of the single “I Can’t Say No” . The group definitely has that rocking feel and I see were they get the term fuzzy rock. With the guitar so loud it is the star of the music. However, the lyrics are decent and the lead singers voice sounds good. They don’t have to hide him, just let it all flow naturally and they would be even a more powerful rock group. Check out their single “I Can’t Say No” through SoundCloud it might be for you – Richard:
