As we mentioned earlier, Big Phony & The Mighty Fifty have teamed up to create BP’s latest MV for his single ‘Short Intermission’, one of my favorites from his album Kicking Punching Bags. I really enjoyed the pacing and acting elements of this video, something you don’t see as often now a days. The actors did a fairly decent job portraying the ups and downs of a relationship without ever actually audibly saying anything. It’s all very… real and down to earth, and above all refreshing.
All in all, a great combination of song and video. Props to everyone involved.
XL Middleton has just dropped his latest MV for his single ‘Vossi on the Rocks’. I’m digging the chill west coast vibe of the song but as you can probably tell from the title, it’s not exactly the deepest track ever. It’s bluesy for sure but the concept is not particularly fresh.
Also, the entire video was shot in a room, with XL remaining almost completely stationary the whole time. I’m all for low budget videos but this was kind of dull. I like the guy’s flow but this song/video was just aight for me.
As we reported a few days back, it’s Sunday and Royal Pirates has dropped their first indie MV for their single ‘Disappear’. It’s a hard hitting song with pretty decent video. It’s crazy what kind of production values indie artists can achieve now a days. The lighting in the cathedral setting was pretty awesome.

These guys rock out pretty hard and we are certainly looking forward to more from this group.
Do you guys recall the sneak peak of Choz Belen’s latest MV for the Far East Movement and IZ and their single ‘I Party’? Hopefully you do because all signs were indicating it was going to be a really sweet MV with awesome, stylized visuals and a fun story line.
Guess what? Choz did NOT disappoint. He stays true to his style and crafts a a great, unique, and artistically beautiful MV that really stands out from the pack and does the FM x IZ single justice. Check it our for yourself.
Electropop band and twin brothers Ming & Ping have just released a new MV for the track ‘Bridge & Tunnel’. It’s basically a collection of footage of a night out in LA but it’s edited and shot in a way that really makes it match the quirky, fun nature of the song itself. I’m actually not too familiar with their music but this was a pretty cool introduction for me.
The film draws its subject matter from the song “Bridge & Tunnel” by Los Angeles based electropop band Ming & Ping, which explores personal identity and inter-personal relationships within a fast-paced urban environment. The film is an ode to Los Angeles, an urban tapestry of immigrant cultures, where millions of personal stories are knitted together into a single common statement that all Angelenos have spoken with a sense of pride, “I’m from LA!”
Directed by Bao Vo Creative, Bridge & Tunnel was made by inviting a group of friends, including the identical twin members of the band Ming & Ping, to bring their hand-held cameras to a wonderful night out at a local karaoke bar. The result is a mix of footage from over 6 point-and-shoot cameras, Flip Minos, cel phone cameras, and a Canon 7D all set to the perfect city song.
HeatherPark has got a new video out for her single ‘Trust You’ from her upcoming album Stay set to drop in May of this year. The song is sultry smooth and appealing with a video to match. Just a forewarning, it’s a bit risque as Heather shows off some of her well tone figure. In an interesting coincidence I finally got the chance to see West 32nd this past weekend, which prominently featured Heather’s song “Leave Me to Dream“. It’s been a while since I’ve heard new material from her, glad to see she’s ramping up to some new releases.
If you’re liking the track, she’s offered ‘Trust You’ as a free download so grab it while it’s hot.
We told you it was coming, and now the video for the single ‘Slow Down’ by Bambu featuring Prometheus Brown has finally dropped.
Since I’m at work right now I’ve only been able to briefly check it out but woooh, that’s some nice quality video. I’ll post my thoughts later tonight.
[edit] So I peeped the video and I gotta say this joint is hot! Great cuts, great edits, and a crazy blend of martial arts, swag, people wild’n out and a raw, hot track make for an entertaining video that’s way above ho’s and ice. [/edit]
Beatrock Music presents the first official single off the …paper cuts… EP, Slow Down, featuring Prometheus Brown of Duck Down Records’ Seattle duo, Blue Scholars. The EP also features guest appearances from Chace Infinite of Self Scientific, Diz Gibran, Thurzday of U-N-I and Malcolm & Martin. Pick up the digital copy on iTunes or look for the hard copy sold exclusively at an independent / “Mom & Pop” store near you.
Hello a-Tunes. We apologize for missing last Week’s Thursday Freebie, I was caught up at the David Choi concert in the DC area. We’ll have our post on the event up real soon but for right now I didn’t want to miss it two weeks in a row!
This week we have what is actually a KPOP track but it’s all in english and done by a new group composed of Korean Americans called One Way. They recently dropped a new single album and this was their first release. It’s a smooth R&B/Hip-Hop track and actually my favorite cut from their self titled single album. Here’s the MV.
The group is composed of Young Sky, Chance and Peter. Young Sky is an MC, Peter is the main singing vocal and Chance pulls double duty as the leader of the group. They show promise and are one of the more interesting groups I’ve heard in the KPOP scene in quite some time. I like that they brought some American flava to their music. Though I will admit, at times they it seems like they’re trying too hard to look cool in their videos.
If you’re feeling the track, you can download the MV & MP3 after the jump! Happy Weekly Thursday Freebie!
Pmac and JVoQalZ have remixed the current hit ‘Nothing on You’ by B.o.B. and Bruno Mars, and pretty decently I must say. They chose a great song to use as a base and their result is an equally catchy track. The MV is sharp but there is some crazy motion blur going on. As for the story of the video, its more of the same thing you see everywhere else but the editing work is pretty solid.
I’m just now discovering this band but the california based group has released their first official MV for the single ‘Turn It Down’ off their new EP In the Midst of Sirens.
The band shows promise but there are a lot of elements to the song/video that are a little rough around the edges. I thought the video was decently produced but was a bit uneventful and dull. The single itself however, is fairly strong. It’ll be interesting to see them develop as time goes on. It’s always good to see more rock groups enter the scene.
