Tale of The Cyborg Episode 1 | Eye For A Eye

Image
On a Inconspicuous street located on the south side of Storm Valley lives an anti- Hero by the name of Relly Santiago aka The Postman.    Being a hip hop artist by day, the dishonest music industry leads the Postman on his own agendas.    The half cyborg rap phenom has a knack for overthrowing the industry rules and standards.    Guided by his intelligent brother Christobal The Vision he seeks revenge in the favor of the nobody’s.    On a Friday night trouble is brewing on the south side.    Political ties leads the Postman down a path of anger and destruction!    A knock at the door begins the night of terror.    “Who is it?” Relly responds “It’s your cousin Boom!”    Boom rarely comes out at a time like this so the postman knew it was trouble!    “Come in” he announces.    Boom entered the house with a face of disappointment.    “Somebody hit my Cafe around 7:30 pm”....

The Seal Breakers are "Ready for War"

 




The Seal Breakers are "Ready for War"
Life as we Know It is about to change. This battle begins in Brooklyn… not with brass bullets, but with brass instruments.
"Their music is our heritage, our life, our story through music ..."
- Bill Cosby after seeing The Seal Breakers in 2008.
Ready for Way by The Seal Breakers
BROOKLYN, NY (20 JUNE 2014) – The Seal Breakers are a nine-member musical collective known for conquering almost every genre of music they've taken on since 2001. Led by their maestro Craig Williams, they've seized and mastered styles from jazz and r&b to gospel and soul. But now The Seal Breakers are "Ready for War."
"Ready for War" is the first single off of their upcoming EP, Life as we Know It. The EP is due out in late 2014 and follows the successful release of Introducing The Seal Breakers in 2011. "Ready for War" is a new creative crusade for the group. It integrates elements of hip-hop, soul and r&b - but does it all without digital track music. This battle begins in Brooklyn; not with brass bullets, but with brass instruments.
"Ready for War" explodes with heavy bass, real piano, trumpets, sax, trombones, and baritones. A perfectly crafted lyrical flow delivers a motivational theme over a power play of percussion. To make the track a reality, Williams called on the mega-talented, multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated producer Travis J. Sayles – also known as Travesty (Justin Beiber, T.I., Kelly Rowland, Meek Mill.)
"In 'Ready for War' we're doing something no one is doing out there now." explains Williams. He continues, "We are taking real instruments and crafting what we call "hip-pop-soul." Jazz, hip hop and r&b elements all collide in this arrangement, but they forge something new. "This is a turn up record, something for everyone ... a song for the people." explains producer Travesty. The Seal Breakers consider themselves more a movement than a group, one member saying, "There's not any 'me' in T.S.B!" The group's goal is always to entertain and educate in a positive light.
"Ready for War" shows The Seal Breakers have broken the "seals" of stylistic stereotypes once again. T.S.B has claimed victory over yet another genre. They prove that a hip-hop song can handle traditional instrumentation and deeper, enlightening and thematic elements. Once you realize traditional brass music is more powerful than any brass bullet, you too will be "Ready for War."
"Ready for War" is now available on all digital retail outlets including iTunes.

Aurora in the Desert by Bodo Bifroest

Image
  Beyond Boundaries Bodo Bifroest stands out among independent producers and composers. His music rises beyond fixed genres, weaving deep, melodic and experimental elements into sonic journeys. Inspired by the  Bifröst of Norse mythology – the rainbow bridge that connects worlds – Bifroest’s vision is to build bridges not only between musical styles but also between people. Born in 1984, music has shaped him since his early years. After piano lessons in his youth and attending a music-focused school, he began creating his own mixes, mashups and compositions more than 15 years ago. A long silence followed – shaped by years of illness and a profound longing for justice – before his return with renewed clarity and artistic purpose. Today Bodo Bifroest takes care of every aspect of his productions himself: from vision and lyrics to composition, arrangement, mixing and mastering. His creative spectrum ranges from fully self-composed works to productions using samples or stems, and ...

Dave Woodcock and the Dead Comedians are #Flyah

Image
For the past decade Dave Woodcock has been carving out a reputation as one of the finest songwriters and most incendiary live performers around. First with his band Taste Of Shotgun whose prolific output (4 albums in 2 years) and legendary live performances caused a stir in the pre-New Yorkshire scene of the early noughties and then as a solo performer renowned for his passion and heart-on-sleeve balladry. In 2007, he released the well-received mournful solo album ‘Wednesday’s Child’ which was compared favourably with ‘the best of Leonard Cohen and Richard Hawley’. Backed by his band The Dead Comedians, 2009 saw the release of the acclaimed and award-winning ‘Omaha High Low’ an album which married his distinctive style to a sympathetic full band sound. 2011’s ‘Poisoned Nights and Bar Room Lights’ further expanded the band’s sound and received more widespread critical praise eventually picking up the Best Album award at the Sheffield Scenester Awards in 2012, beating out the ...
