Hello, friends. We’re still digging out of our backlog of MVs to review and share – so we’re sticking with the micro-review format. One positive, one negative, and on to the next one. This collection is made up exclusively of bands. It’s not really a battle, but “Battle of the Bands” is a catchier headline. Rock (and all it’s variations) is a genre that’s too little represented on a-Tunes if you ask me!
Run River North – “Excuses”
+Bizarrely hypnotic entertainment
-May trigger acute motion sickness
Royal Pirates – “Love Toxic”
+Catchy & slickly produced
-Not a lot happens
Hope for Icarus – “Come July”
+I thoroughly enjoyed the “timeless” motif
-FX are cute but cheesy
Kore Ionz – “Love You Better” (Soli Remix)
+The most relaxing song I’ve heard all week
-MV is unfocused? I dunno.
Johnny Hi-Fi – “Tonight It Ends”
+Nice Rock tune with a touch of Country
-That lens flare; it’s like it was directed by JJ Abrams
Lions Ambition – “I Got Work Tomorrow”
+This is a fun summer jam type of song
– Audio Mixing is a bit muddy
The Slants – “Just One Kiss”
+It’s cool to see Charm City get some love in the video
-Guerrilla video lacks polish
