SKOM has looked at The Deafening Colors before. And we absolutely love them. They have recently re-recorded and released two songs that were originally on their 2012 effort “Upstairs”. We recommend checking out that album and anything else you can find from this band. Whether you are new to The deafening Colors or not you should listen to these two songs.

“None of the Other Ones Will Do”

We here at SKOM are huge fans of Beta Lion. If you are still unfamiliar with them check out our review of Written In Sand here and our interview with them here.

They are hoping to get a video done for their new song, Dynasty, but in the meantime enjoy it in these fine audio formats and locations!

First prize will receive $400 and your video will be released as our official video for the song, posted to our YouTube page and our website and shared with the world.

Second prize will receive $100 and your video will also be released as our official video (the second place winner will be selected from the entries for whichever song did not win the first place prize) and shared with the world. Winners will be announced and videos released on Monday, May 30, 2016.

There is no entry fee, but we ask that you purchase whichever song you are making the video for at the price of .99 cents, available from thedeafeningcolors.bandcamp.com, from iTunes, or from many other online retailers.

You may remember Dw. Dunphy from our interview with him here. Well, it’s the holiday season and he has a Neon Green Xmas to share with us all! It’s a slightly wistful look at Christmas through the eyes of an adult who longs for a simpler time when everything about Christmas was magical.
