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.

Say Goodbye Isabell

Monica
Say Goodbye Isabell reminds me of a poem brought to life with the help of moving images. This six-minute short film by Natalie Figueroa under Ofokus Frilans Film-Produktion is a Swedish indie drama with some gorgeous experimental elements. It tells the story of a paralyzed girl trapped in her own makeshift world, dying without even knowing how to live. The film is artistic and strangely hypnotic with scenes transporting you to a lucid dream where nature and glares of sunlight blur the eyes. The sequences are brilliantly transitioned, at one point you find yourself floating over rolling greens and then you are brought back to the cruel sadistic reality.

The Colorful Quiet: My World With You EP

Valerie
The Colorful Quiet is a one-man band manned by Stephen K. Webster. He handles both the guitars and vocals; performing beautiful strip down tracks that are both impressive and endearing. My World With You - EP might be a short 5-track compilation but it's enough to convince any acoustic folk pop lover that this one is worth keeping. The artist has released several compilation under his name since 2001. In fact, this short EP is the first one he ever came out with. Most of the short compilations are offered for free but the full albums are often available for a short (but definitely worth it) price.

Glass Pong

Frostech
Yet another fun, casual, time-killer game hits the iOS platform and this one is called, Glass Pong. Yes, you heard it right. The game is very basic and there is nothing hardcore about it, so there are no gimmicks, only visually appealing graphics, tough gameplay, zombies, adrenaline pumping speed and the works. Developed by Sigma Communications, a Japan based company, Glass Pong is a quintessential animated game with a typical Japanese touch, noticed especially in gameplay, sounds, music and environments.
