We all really appreciate the people who get behind independent music, especially when it’s ours Be sure to subscribe to Ty’s Channel which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrTYBOZE because well, he’s pretty freaking awesome.
Okay so here’s a music video for the track Let’s Start Over from our new album “Suffering”. It is again comprised of footage from the Living Illusion CD Release Party at the Starlite Room in Edmonton Alberta. Edited and filmed by Dan Holden of Phase Productions. Surprisingly people have said they actually like this video a little better than the video for Suffering, but I think that is up for debate. Hope you enjoy the song and like the video.
Alright, well after many months of waiting for the album to be finished we have finally gotten our video editor/camera man extraordinaire to make a video for our title track Suffering, from our new album of the same name, using the footage from our CD Release Party show at the Starlite Room in Edmonton (That’s totally a run on sentence but I am in too much of a hurry to fix it). The video looks awesome, I could not have made it look any where this good on my own.
Hope you guys enjoy the video and like the new song!
Check out our new promo video for the band. It was produced, filmed, and edited by Dan Holden of Phase Productions and My Sister Ocean. He did an amazing job and we’re super happy with how it turned out. Stayed tuned for some more video footage coming soon once we officially release the new album online in less than a months time.
To be more precise this would be the title or prologue theme to Blaster Master. This game was an awesome one from the Nintendo Entertainment System. I wasn’t actually introduced to it until last year by Classy Man over at The Game Heroes, I know it’s crazy… both that I’ve never played it, and that I still play NES games. This is a little different than the other covers, this time around there was a lot of electronic instrumentation to keep the eerie and haunting feel from the original version of the song. There is some guitar and drums but it is mostly just sounds, effects, synths, and various other good stuff.
With the holiday season starting to come to an end I figured its best to post this sooner rather than later. That being said, here’s our rendition of the song Carol of the Bells aka Ukrainian Bell. This song always reminds me of the movie Home Alone. I used pictures from Fail Blog and Epic Fail to make the video for the song and it turned out quite hilarious. Guitar, bass and drums are used for the instrumentation as per usual.
Another week down and another rock cover to share. This week I did the introduction theme to Nintendo game Metroid. It’s a great tune and has a very cool time signature change in the middle. I think that the production on this one turned out really good as well. Although, it’s still no where near the production quality of our new album that’s coming out soon.
This song I recorded over a year ago and have just never gotten around to making a blog post about it. I actually learned how to play this song back when the TV show was still on the air in the 90′s, back around the same time I was learning how to play guitar. The X-Men Cartoon that ran on Fox Kids every Saturday morning was my favorite cartoon by far. Since I posted the song to YouTube, it has received over 66,000 views!
A special note needs to be written about this song because it was used by the Nostalgia Critic in one of the videos on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. It was used in the TGWTG Team Brawl video which can be viewed here. Special thanks to Doug Walker (aka That Guy with the Glasses) for putting this in the video. If you wait til the end credits of the video you can see the band name! When I saw the video I literally freaked. I have been following TGWTG since his YouTube days and was so amazed to see that he used our cover in one of his videos.
Alright well that’s enough talk about the song, you can check it out below.
It has been a busy week so here is another update, this time for a hard rock version of the theme from the Mega Man 3 Snake Man Level! I chose this song because of all the levels in Mega Man 3 (which is by far my favorite Mega Man game) this one was the stage I always beat first whenever I played. In the end I think the song came together quite well and sounds pretty wicked. The track is complete with drums, bass and guitar.
Alright so if you’ve never heard of the Desert Bus for Hope Charity here’s the run down. The comedy sketch group Loading Ready Run (http://www.loadingreadyrun.com) from Vancouver Island (Victoria) get together once a year to play the most boring game ever “Desert Bus” in order to raise money for Child’s Play. Child’s Play is a charity organization that brings toys and games into hospitals for children to play with while there recovering
Desert Bus was a mini game on an unreleased Sega CD Game called Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors. In the game you have to drive a bus in real time from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada. The bus always veers slowly to the right, you can’t go above a maximum speed of 45mph and it takes 8 hours (can’t pause) to get your 1 Point for the drive. Once you’ve made it all the way to Vegas you can decide if you want to drive back to Tucson to get another point. And no, the scenery doesn’t change for your 8 hour stint for the most part. It’s a horrible game that was more of a joke than anything else. Sidenote: If you crash a tow truck takes you all the way back to either Tuscon or Vegas in real time.
Currently the team at http://www.desertbus.org have a total of 13 points and over 110 hours of non stop driving day and night with no crashes. They have raised over $85,000 (even I contributed)! Wanting to go above and beyond with my support I took the honor of tracking a hard rock cover of the Desert Bus Theme from the game. It’s the intro song and the only time you get to hear music, like I said it’s extremely boring.
