MusicDishTV Presents "Working For The USA" By Americana Rocker Steve Cooke

Steve Cooke's "Working For The USA" is listed as Americana Rock, but I also hear some southern rock coming hard like the Bruce Springsteen sound. Cooke sings a very inspiring song about the USA and the working class who are the backbone of this great nation. He's a very good singer with a strong a passionate style and a mighty stage presence on this video. Shot in black and white, the video is full of color and life from Cooke and his group. The song is strong, uplifting, empowering, and is one that can touch all the workers of the USA. With a hard driving sound that slows at times to allow a sweet harmony to shine, "Working For The USA" is a song that can't and won't be contained. It's explosive and powerful, and very timely. Cooke really delivers the goods on this one. Both lyrically and musically solid, the song and video are highly inspirational and entertaining, as well as being thought provoking. The video is full of shots of real American people working and the intended connection is very well made. This is very high quality production with outstanding performances from Cooke and his Band. It's an easy sing along song, while its patriotic theme carries a positive message to bring hope, work and happiness back to America's people. http://www.steve-cooke.com

MusicDishTV Presents "Got A Light" By Bluerays

The video "Got A Light" by Bluerays makes it abundantly clear that these guys have talent. The lead in the band pays great respect to Michael Jackson in the manner in which he pulls off his dance moves, and the inspired moonwalk which he has mastered. The video has an overlay of a shadow of Michael Jackson dancing. A vibrant blue light then enters the lab, where the lead singer, posing as a chemistry lab worker, is transformed by the light into an entertainer when the light enters his heart. This video has very clever use of symbols and special effects. Pop music fans in India should be very proud of this band who represents them so well and has such great potential. The music is uptempo with nice use of keyboards, and drums that are played with skill, responding well to the bass. The video edits are clean, and the locations include enthusiastic high tech workers, amazing trees, and dancing on rooftops with Jackson style choreography, and happy children. There's a future for this band if they want it, they just have to keep striving, These guys could go places. http://bluerays.bandcamp.com

MusicDishTV Presents "Molly Ringwald Is Dead" By Alternative Band Love Supine

"Molly Ringwald Is Dead" is a video featuring the new song from Love Supine. It opens in the middle of a gathering of trees, as a mysterious sound heralds in the lead vocalist who is fading into view in the distance. The colors are almost black and white with a very washed out effect. In contrast, the rock band's down beat and the power chord of guitars bring this song to life. The singer is fascinated that the 80's teen star Molly Ringwald has opinions and thoughts that he didn't expect from her. The tempo is danceable, and the vocal style a bit like Fred Schneider of B52. The lead singer and guitar are the only players in the video, so there are effective cuts to the scene in synch with the music. "Molly Ringwald is Dead", has a dark humor to it, and should be perfect for Halloween.

MusicDishTV Presents "No Place Like Home" by Infiniteloop

Infiniteloop's video "No Place Like Home" begins with bright orange flares that burst in tempo to the beat as it cuts to a crowded club and Infiniteloop plays in black and white strobe. The lead singer has very interesting lyrics, "I wanna know how long forever lasts", and he's backed by a trio of drums, bass, and guitar. The contrast of the visual to the lyrics is an attention grabber. "There's no place like home you've got one", is being sung, while the video footage shows homes being blown away during atom bomb testing. As the song asks questions about if they could be happy together, the video cuts to the band in black and white, and the bomb testing footage is bathed in a deep burnt orange color. It has a good look to it, which is probably hi def. The alternative style has some clever audio inserts of old radio ad of the 1950's over the top female voice saying "Hit the record button". Dancing to this song will be fun because the mix and the tempo are perfect for turning up your speakers, and the song is an upbeat love song. The video production is excellent, and the editing, and graphic effects are brilliant. You don't have to be humble about this. "There's No Place Like Home" is a cool video, and one that is definitely worth watching. Infiniteloop has a very radio friendly sound to their vocals and music. The mix is clean, and the singer is easy to understand with his own unique style of phrasing. Job well done!

MusicDishTV Presents "Tell Me What You See" By Rock Group Death By Chocolate

Rock group Death By Chocolate's new video "Tell Me What You See" is very visually interesting and stimulating. With time lapse slow motion, a beautiful woman, and violence with a S&M twist, this video captivates. A very upbeat rock track with hard pounding sound accompanies the video quite nicely. Death By Chocolate's "Tell Me What You See" is well performed and produced. The lead vocalist's voice and style is more than ample as he delivers on this jamming song. With the band rocking hard, this cut is a winner. They add a little Indian melody and all kinds of hard core treats. The video is humorous and entertaining (and steaming hot) while the music is hard core and shows just how rock is supposed to be done.

MusicDishTV Presents "Sunny" By Pop Singer-songwriter Kelly Waters

Kelly Waters "Sunny" is a really amazing video. First of all, she has a rich, beautiful voice, and her ability to use it as an instrument is extraordinary. On this particular track, she uses a vast and impressive vocabulary as she delivers the message of her song, which is one of love. Kelly sings about the love she feels for the guy that has made her heart throb. Then there's the video with her singing and making muffins in the kitchen while she exudes sexiness as she reads the dictionary dressed like a librarian. Her style is that of the eccentric girl that you just have to love because of her ways. Her video and music are lovely and I really liked the presentation. Both the song and video are very well performed and produced. "Sunny" is definitely bright!

MusicDishTV Presents "This Old Radio" By Alternative Harpist Anna Cate

"This Old Radio" is a harp-based indie track that combines both subtlety and emotion. The entire video focuses on Anna Cate playing her harp and singing the song in her living room. This gives a certain intimacy to the song, kind of like getting to hear a private performance with no one else around. She sings about this old radio, one that a loved one used to play her favourite song on. The cinematography suggests that there is a longing in her life, perhaps for a life she used to have. The shaky, indie style of the camerawork allows the viewer to feel her distress and see that she truly means every word that she sings. To accompany the voice, she focuses much of the video on her fingers playing the harp. Her hands move with such grace and makes such a difficult instrument seem easy to play. Anna Cate's video is certainly one not to be missed.

MusicDishTV Presents "Fallen" By Americana/Country Rocker Eliot Wayne

What a way to capture a solid rock band! The producers of Americana/country rock Elliott Wayne's "Fallen" did a great job shooting this driving quick tempo song with well-placed cameramen, with the first stage right, the second stage left, and another behind Elliot and to the left of the drummer who was giving the performance of a lifetime. Another camera in front captured the energy of the band with close ups of Elliot's guitar as he played with passion and intensity. The edits were excellent, adding to the energy, and excitement of "Fallen". The harmony on this song is powerful with strong open intervals between Elliot and the backup vocals of his bass player. The guys were dressed "garage band" casual, but be advised, they are most definitely a strong rocking trio, and it's hard to believe that they were unsigned in 2011! Kudos to Producer Chuck Miller and editor Alex Henley for very smartly done cuts on this video.

MusicDishTV Presents By "Livinin Love" KC Jockey

As a tribute to "the soldiers who died fighting for our country," KC Jockey's "Livinin Love" music video is the story of a soldier who deals with losing and gaining love. Being at war in Iraq causes his girlfriend to grow impatient of being apart and break up with him, but once he returns from war, love conquers all. The soldier returns to the smiles and cheers of his beloved family and friends, as well as into the arms of his apologetic girlfriend. The scenario makes you wonder whether or not the girl would stick around if her boyfriend had to return to war again...

The positive message and optimistic vibe of the actual song is unexpected after watching the soldier and his girlfriend argue and break up at the beginning of the video. With a rhythmic and dynamic percussion, "Livinin Love" speaks about being in love and being thankful for what you have. It is a feel-good anthem that could brighten anyone's day by encouraging them to just smile and be happy. The downers, pessimists, and ungrateful beings of the world should take a listen to it in hopes of recovering from their dark days and moving on with their lives. As for our valiant war heroes, after being exposed to so much hate and violence, and defending their nations so that the rest of us can live in peace, "Livinin Love" shows them what they're fighting for and what we wish for them.

MusicDishTV Presents "Hello" By Award Winning DJ JP

"Hello", a new animated video from the award winning DJ JP, explodes onto the screen with a massive bass and Electro pop track. The low voice speaks in English, and it's very humorous and entertaining with very simply drawn characters moving around on a black background. The bass has an elastic sound, and a moving line that sounds like a jazz walking bass. A little man in a hat is searching everywhere as he walks past the country side flowers, and through the rain storm to find someone he's trying to talk to, but can't hear. The music becomes more intense as the kick drum and high note keyboards keep climbing higher in tension, and the poor little man just keeps trekking through the city traffic. Ahhh, finally the payoff comes as night falls, and our hero is joined by many friends that came to dance, and party! "Thanks for coming!". This will be perfect when fans come to hear JP spin at one of his shows! Smartly placed social buttons are on the end of the video for social media sites, offering fans numerous ways to connect with DJ JP.

MusicDishTV Presents Robert Nix’s “Walk Down The Street”

Robert Nix's video for "Walk Down the Street" is one that's difficult to explain, but incredibly pleasing to watch. He is a post-contemporary composer, but his music is so much more. The video follows Nix as he records the various instruments in the song, creating a fully experimental and pop-rock fusion track. He throws in some cut scenes of himself walking aimlessly through his home-city of Toronto to represent the theme of his song; being lost. The cinematography supports the theme as well, as the dissonance of the shaky camera certainly makes the viewer feel a little lost. The compassion in his voice and power in his presence in the video allows the video to almost attain a sense of spirituality.

All in all, this is a fantastic video from top to bottom. Robert Nix is a mastermind and he displays a true love for his craft. Teaming up with filmmaker Rohit "Badmash" Thakur was a terrific decision and "Badmash" certainly fulfilled his responsibilities.

MusicDishTV Presents "Everything's Going To Be Fine" By American Brit Rocker Barry Keenan

American Brit Rocker Barry Keenan's song and video "Everything's Going To Be Fine" are very good. Keenan has a great singing voice and does a fantastic job with this very touching and inspirational song. The video shows a young boy and his drawings, which depict the song's lyrical content about how in spite of all of the bad things going on around us, if we concentrate on the love that's inside each and every one of us, everything will be alright. It's very creative to use a child, someone who is so innocent, to convey something that seems to be so complex to so many adults. If a child knows this, why don't we? The lyrics are solid and Keenan obviously has a very deep connection to his spiritual side and with the word. The folk music and vocal performance deliver the message solidly and with conviction.

MusicDishTV Presents "Satisfy My Soul" By Dwayna Litz

In the video "Satisfy My Soul," Dwayna Litz performs a jazz swinging rendition of the song by the same name, which was first recorded by Ella Johnson in 1950. Dwayna's unique vocal style is well complemented by a terrific horn section, growling alto sax, and soulful piano backing her up all the way. The plunger trumpet solo is perfect as we watch Dwayna dancing to "Satisfy My Soul." Viewers will be reminded of Bonnie Raitt as they watch Dwayna's relaxed and confident performance.

The band arrangement swings with a New Orleans shuffle, complementing Dwayna with everything from stop time to a Louis Armstrong style horn solo. "Satisfy My Soul" will definitely satisfy both viewers and listeners, and will have you tapping your feet to the beat.

"Satisfy My Soul" is from the album "Counting Your Blessings," which is available for purchase at iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.

MusicDishTV Presents "Take A Number" By Pop/R&B Singer Baiyu

"Take A Number" by Pop/R&B artist Baiyu is a very refreshing track and video that incorporates elements of dance and hip hop with Baiyu's incredible vocals and style. This is an instantly likeable track that will appeal to music lovers of all genres who appreciate a great song. Well produced, it never lets up from beginning to end and keeps you entranced with the lyrics and beat.

Baiyu shows that she's both sexy and strong with her dress, attitude, moves, and performance. In the video, she sings the track in a variety of outdoor scenes - none of which are fancy, but it's not necessary to get her point across. The track is so lyrically strong, and Baiyu exudes so much sexiness and confidence that "props" and fancy scenes were simply irrelevant. Viewers will "Take A Number" to line up on the dance floor to move to this groove. It's one that will keep the club and party scene bumping, and is also perfect for just hanging out with the girls or guys or cruising down the highway.

MusicDishTV Presents "Banjo" By Chad Lee

The video for Banjo by Chad Lee (a song off his Sidewalks and Trains album) has an authentic feel, as if it were shot on a friend's farm on a day off from working the fields. Which is not to say the band is unprofessional, the band plays well with great energy and presence. The cast of the farm fable were caricatures of American farm life, bare foot, with overalls in tatters; the cast was a lovable rag-tag bunch of hillbillies. The song and the video tell a timely story that many people in America face of being pushed out of an old way of life in the interest of urban sprawl and overpriced condos. Despite the big bad banks and developers (In traditional suits and sunglasses) the video has a cheerful tone. The power of the Banjo reins supreme as Granny uses it as a weapon, forgoing the shotgun and picking up the banjo. There is a reference to the often spoofed, Dueling Banjos in the first ten seconds is clever, yet the song could have used even more banjos visually.

The video, while not without its good points, may need to put some of the production team out to pasture. The cuts between shots lose most visual impact they would have had by being far too quick, and the angles chosen for some of the shots are baffling, as they do not flatter anyone in the band. With a friendly lead singer, and a cast of expressive and strange characters, this home grown, countrified music video ends up being rather entertaining.

Cutting Edge - "Judas of D.C."

The video "Judas of D.C." by rock/alternative band Cutting Edge is a musical and visual protest against the betrayal of the American people by Washington, D.C. politicians. No one is spared as it gets the message across with rock and rap that we have chosen those who are currently in office, but they're not carrying on the people's business. Images of the band begin the video, but are quickly replaced by pictures of well- known politicians and political cartoon features. With hard hitting lyrics like, "A few of the people decided you started out as good/You were chosen among the many/And we thought you understood/Then we sent you to D.C. to represent our state/And that's when you betrayed us and we all lost faith/Your insane betrayal, guess who paid for all the cost?/You turned your back on us when we needed you the most/We knew the place you were headed and it was so plain to see/You became one of them -- a Judas of D.C./, it's quite clear that this band isn't timid about speaking their minds on this subject. Fast paced, fun, and clean with a great rock vibe, this video addresses a very serious subject in an innovative and entertaining way.

Pennan Brae - "Pathways"

Directed by Mogcat and shot in Canada and in 6 states in the U.S. over a 10 day period, covering 6,000 miles, Pennan Brae's video "Pathways" from his debut release Shaded Joy conveys the story of a couple who are obviously experiencing some turbulence in their relationship. Initially, the young woman waits for her lover with anticipation at a restaurant, and they continue to text each other while he makes a trek that seems to take him across the world and through all types of terrain and weather. He walks in haste with the sole purpose of getting to her, but an apparent pain from the past won't allow her to believe that he's really coming. One of his last text messages to her is that "He's almost there" and to "Order a beer" for him. She responds, "Sure you are," waits a few more moments and then departs to the ladies room in disillusionment. Mere seconds later, he arrives, doesn't see her, and leaves. It's a lesson about how sometimes we fail to give each other the benefit of the doubt when we should and how if you just believe and hold on, what you've been waiting for might be just around the corner. The video is an emotional one, almost invoking tears at the end when you realize that if either of them had only given the other a break and not given up, they would be together.

Musically, the folksy harmonica plays a huge role in the song, both as part of the background and as a solo. The piano, drums, guitar and bass carry the tune well, which is easygoing and part Americana and country. Brae's mellow voice is perfect for "Pathways," which is quite touching, with lyrics like 'As the daylight shines/My mind is calmly thinking/When the evening calls/Your light is gently sinking' and 'As you draw the blinds/To end another day/Should our pathways fail/Good luck along the way'.
