Sit Down In Front - Don't Push The Button [Music Video Review]

October 15, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Punk
“If irreverent protest is at the heart of what Punk is, then the band Sit Down In The Front has certainly tapped into the pulse of it with their single, ‘Don’t Push The Button.’ This politically charged mockery comes from New Zealand though for many of us this us far too close to the absurdity that actually emits from White House these days.

The imagery of the video is pure brilliance!”

    Eiza Murphy - Black Hole [Review]

    October 15, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Commercial, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The more I listened to this track, the deeper I fell into the emotions behind it. Eiza Murphy delivers a hauntingly emotional vocal performance, though for me it was the power of the songwriting that most captivated me and held my attention over and over again. The piano and build of the music perfectly matched the mood and emotion of the words. ”

      Yung Gravy - Gas Money [Music Video Review]

      October 14, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Hip-Hop, Autotune, Music Videos

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “During our #LAOnLockExclusive we told you how Yung Gravy’s new album ‘Gasanova’ is lighting up since its release on Friday, October 2nd. Well he has added to the smoke with his new visual ‘Gas Money’. Giving a retro vibe as usual you can see him chillin in the bowling alley as the pin heads play. His rhymes are direct and full of sarcasm which makes him even more groovy.”

        10K - Slow Down [Music Video Review]

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Every girl needs a getaway trip. Imagine coming across a guy that fascinates you and makes you want to dance all night. 10K’s new single provides that feeling. ‘Slow down’ is a contemporary R&B song with a club atmosphere that will have you dancing and not wanting to slow down from the feeling.”

          Bronco X - Poison [Music Video]

          October 13, 2020 by Kreadiv Kesh in Music Videos, Funk, Contemporary R&B

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Bronco X surprised me with their new single ‘Poison’. The high energy band is shown from different angles in a house jamming with their instruments. ‘Poison’ is funky but gives you a feeling of excitement that runs through you like a vibration. As the camera pans around them in a circle providing a green light as if they are playing in a forest like setting.”

            Riley Michaels - Now I Know [Music Video Review]

            “ Imagine watching MTV Jams and the video comes to life. This is how I felt with Canadian Artist’s Riley Michaels new song and video ‘Now I Know’. Standing at the mic surrounded by a band the talented artist plays the guitar as he rocks out to his emotion of being driven insane. He speaks on lessons learned but allows you to really engage with the music.”

              “Flashing Lights and Hidden Spirits!!

              In an empty room with just the right lighting you can see a ‘Hidden Spirit’. Henry and the Waiter brings electro pop with a suspense yet upbeat melody. In what seems like a solo video you can find dance cameo’s swinging side to side.”

                “We often under estimate the power of a man. However, they are the strongest humans. Life is a tough game for them and Covaboy and King Quell speak on that in ‘Hood Trophy’. With a great story line and relevant topic the two tell the story of a man who is trying to make a living. We talk about giving people their flowers when they are here but we never speak on #HoodTrophys.”

                  “Eva Snyder has the kind of vocal tone that makes you lean in from the very first note, and her latest single, ‘Transparent’ holds you there with the honesty of its writing and an energetic arrangement and delivery.

                  Like a conversation with a close friend this track feels candid and in that we find bits of our own fears, insecurities and feelings.”

                    Carefree and energetic are the two words that come to mind here so kick back and listen to feel the warm sun no matter where you happen to be.”

                      “One narrative. One Journey.

                      This is used to describe Liam’s talent as he sits at the piano and allows his fingers and vocals to tell a musical story.

                      Liam Rorke’s new single ‘Questions’ is about an ongoing cycle to want to know more even when there are no answers to your questions. His sound is organic with emotional vocals accompanied by a calm mannerism. ”

                      Music and Lyrics by Liam Rorke Produced, mixed and mastered by Michael Tan Piano: Max Lambert Verse 1 I try not to count the ways I’m lonely I try not to dwell on what I miss Being apart I’m finding it hard To keep you off my mind Feels like my heart Always gets tangled in the past Pre Chorus Scares me to say it What I’m praying for is you And to come home And that our love can resume And if wanting was enough There would be no questions But facing the truth What can I do? Verse 2 There are days that I am hopeful Are those feelings a mistake? I feel my heart It flickers and starts When i remember Just how special Just how real these feelings are And I cant let it go Pre Chorus But I Know that there can be no answers Not while Not while we, we are apart So this cycle, It continues It goes on and on But facing the truth What do you do? Chorus When it’s all too much But never enough The answers they keep escaping And the Questions are hard These riddles of love They keep you second guessing And every time I think I’ve found it The Questions start again

                        “At the age of 16, Artist ASPyN is aware of her worth. In her new single ‘Black & Blue ‘ she points out the flaws of her mate. From being hypocritical to just pitiful she sees nothing special in him. The song is soft spoken, but stern. If you ever felt hurt, pain, or hid behind ‘Black & Blue’ this song is for you.”

                          “Abigail Fierce has that same sort of sultry vocal tone that catapulted Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac into stardom though Fierce delivers more of a Folksy singer/songwriter vibe here on this track. ‘Some Sorta Goodbye’ is about looking for the end of a relationship straight from the very beginning. The expectation things will end badly, so the act of self-sabotage keeps the loss from being on someone else’s terms. ”

                            “The energy and progression of this track swept me up and carried me along. The falling in love trope may be the most popular one in all of music, but still the emotion of being lovestruck is as powerful of an emotion as any of us can experience, so time and time again it is a refrain that speak to the masses.

                            Izzy Staden puts her own unique perspective on the matter here, with a rapid Pop style delivery that makes you feel the rising euphoria quite well. ”

                              “Life on the road is not easy for any band or touring act, and yet the allure and call is inescapable. LA Indie Rock band, Arms Akimbo, takes a dive into those aspects with their latest single, ‘Dizzy.’ A smooth melody and infectious lyrical build makes you almost feel the wheels rolling beneath you as you sit back and miss about everything back at home, while still mesmerized by the allure of that next stop on tour.”

                                Matt Hansen - warn me right before i fall in love [Review]

                                “A light airy song of heartache and sadness ... because ... Hey, if you’re going to feel the pain you might as well do so with a jaunty little melody.

                                Matt Hansen has a bit of Jack Johnson to his sound and soul and this track is one that simply feels like an honest ode to heartbreak. The EDm vibes deeper in did not hold me as wella s the early emotion and energy, but this is still a worthwhile track from a talented young artist. ”

                                  “Coming at you with an alluring, almost sinister charm, Maella seduces the listener with a smooth vocal delivery that invites you in before the darker emotions grab your heart and squeeze.

                                  ’Melting Butter’ is a brooding track that for me conjured thoughts of a time in Rock music when grit and passion overshadowed glossy production and million dollar smiles.”

                                    “Written after a sex dream, the group is quoted as saying, ‘We hope this track makes people horny!’

                                    Which begs the question ... Is there any purer motivation to create music out there? Straight out of Denmark, Girlcrush describe themselves as ... Queer-feminists playing jangly, earnest pop-punk.

                                    ’I’m Easy’ gives off a sultry rock vibe that harkens thoughts of Joan Jett, The Go-Gos, and other that paved the way, but the band still feels original and contemporary by delivering their own sound and attitude.”

                                      “Thee Unemployed layers in a bit of funk-infused energy to their latest track, ‘Decade.’ This duo utilizes a fast paced flow to lay out their confident belief that this is their decade to shine and make their mark.

                                      The energy gathers you in on this track and the lyrical flow comes straight at you in a way that is irresistible. Get ready to move with this one.”

                                        “Straight up rock guitar, like you rarely hear these days ,ushers in this track which offers a unique sound and delivery style to lay out the wryly sharp lyrics. You could call this metal for the jaded thinking man, or supercharged Rock and Roll for those unafraid to take a stimulating lyrical journey into the minds of the pissed off and the fed up.

                                        Maybe those are one and the same, but Loudmouth Lisa is clearly a band that doesn’t really give a shit what you call their message — long as you heed the words.”
