Video of the Day - Cola Bottle Fizz Come join this sweet soiree.




Every once in a while a group comes a long that not  only knows exactly what they are doing, but also is found mid execution. UK’s Superbird appears to be one of these bands. Consisting of Joe Fin (Guitar), Alex Ash (Drums) and Freddy Sidero (Bass), all of whom share vocal duties, Superbird coalesces into a great funky pop trio with a sound tapped right from the veins of Prince and Bowie.
 The fun loving attitude of the band compliments their flamboyant and feathered image. In the color drenched peacock of a video for their song “Cola Bottle Fizz,” they let you know they are here to glam it up with a grain of salt or sugar in this case. This rocking little baby reads as an ode to pleasure which compares the object of affection to teeth rotting sweets. Joe Fin's slinky guitar work glistens over the groove laid down by Freddy Sidero (this song in particular contains some very cool bass action). Alex’s drums keep the beat up and moving. The band dances around colorful rooms singing phrases like “Strawberry I’m whipped/creamin’ my bon-bombshell” and “Your popping candies makes my eyes dilate.” I also particularly dig “You’re naughty ways keep me craving more, You’re clothes look better on the floor, baby.” Oh Marcy remember “Sex and Candy”. The song has a similar can’t get this out of my head factor. It rips definite groove that sticks in your brain like a Jolly Rancher in the gap slight gap between you back teeth.
 There’s a big helping of humor to go with the good music. They are undoubtedly having a great time, and it’s just as apparent that they are as talented on their instruments as they are at reveling. Check out “Cola Bottle Fizz” and their other videos for more of Superbird’s fun, funky music!
For an added bonus, an acoustic version is included. Watch Joe take his Strat to task with a popping yellow pick. Alex lifts your spirits with his stellar rich frosted bare bones style playing.  The double dose of guitar playing is only enhanced by the double dip of their voices combining easy like a chocolate shake with a cherry on top. Shake it up like cherry pop.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
