Viber

Frostech
Love the Skype experience, but something still feels amiss? Well, the only possible solution for Android and iPhone users out there is Viber. This particular app allows all Viber users to make free calls and texts without any incurring charges. Wow, this is greatness in times of recession. Developed by Viber Media Inc., the developers had first launched the app for the iPhone and have recently rolled it out for Android. So now free calls are not only limited to just iPhone users, but the magic has become cross-platform and a pure treat.

Fine Young Firecrackers: From The Ground Up

Valerie
If you're in the mood for some fine music, take a listen to Fine Young Firecrackers. This new band from Liverpool is among the latest group of awesome bands that have come out of the city. They bring in tons of energy, great beats and plenty of personality with their debut EP, From The Ground Up; making sure that you take notice and enjoy their sound. Their music is reminiscent of various feel-good punk pop acts that you put on if you just want some good, uncomplicated and enjoyable music to keep you company throughout your day.

Glass Tower 3

Frostech
If Tetris makes you crave arcade-gaming, but the graphics are nothing more than an eye-sore, its time to play Glass Tower 3 on the iOS platform. The game is all about blocks with a new & fresh twist. Unlike other games in this genre, you have to break some blocks and you have to save some blocks in order to win the game. It is also based on a physics based engine, which makes it more entertaining, challenging and unique to play.

Born Without Bones: Say Hello

Valerie
Born Without Bones is a laid back indie power pop band that you'll find hanging around Milford, MA. Say Hello is the first album for the band and it's a compilation that pretty much expands on the power pop/emo rock phase that most bands seemed to be stuck in for awhile. The album features 12 tracks that run the gamut of punk, acoustic pop, and a bit of indie rock. I'm gonna put it out there that if you dislike power pop or anthemic highschool emo rock, then you best stay away. But if you live for this stuff, keep reading and you just might find a gem in this record.

Crime City

Frostech
Gamers get ready to spread crime on the streets with Crime City for iOS. The game functions similarly to the recently launched Mafia Wars 2 by Zynga, but together with the nice gameplay and the fact, that you need to grow your mafia by adding people, it really raises the bar. Developed by Funzio, Crime City for iOS takes the exact same cue from the Facebook version and acts similarly when it comes to gameplay, visuals, characters, ammunition, and surroundings. The game looks quite good on the iPhone and customization options are plenty.

The Freak Fandango Orchestra: Tales Of A Dead Fish

Valerie
Making their second appearance here in Frostclick, the gypsy folk, Barcelona band are back with a new record. The Freak Fandango Orchestra is an energetic and quirky bunch of musicians who like to play fun and unusual music. Their first record Love, Death and a Drunken Monkey was entertaining and came doused with beautiful instrument work and amusing lyrics. For their latest release, Tales of a Dead Fish, they retain their crazy upbeat sound, still incorporating humor, superb instrument work and a very catchy beat to every single one of their cuts.

500px

Frostech
The true power of the iPad is said by many to be present in the gorgeous 9.7-inch screen. Apart from games, sadly there are very few apps that bring out the beast hidden in the display. So all iPad owners who want to push the envelope should download the 500px app. Developed by 500px themselves, the app is a portfolio-building network, rather than a photo-sharing service, which offers users quality over quantity. So unlike Flickr, Picasa and other photo-sharing networking sites, 500px aims at encouraging users to upload and publish the cream of the crop with detailing riding it to the finishing line.

Badluck: Infinity

Valerie
Another release from the longstanding netlabel, blocSonic, is this cool hip hop compilation from BADLUCK. Hailing from Bed Stuy, this is the first solo record from the artist. He originally makes up one half of the crew, Luck & Ripps, which also released their debut album The Catastrophic Connection, on the netlabel back in 2009. This time around BADLUCK is on his own; giving listeners a sneak peek of his upcoming solo album. Infinity is a record that showcases the artists capacity to mix old school hip hop with modern hip hop; creating a seamless, catchy bunch of tracks that's easy on the ears.
