Philly shit megapost!


So I moved home for a little bit, hence the post. I guess boredom plus internet equals blog updates. Here's some local Philly shit I picked up/made friends with while I was there. Too good to not share.

Alex G: Kid is a fucking musical genius. He just posted a lot of his songs on bandcamp, though I might find some other odds and ends and post them later. Mostly acoustic, sometimes full band which I think he plays all of the instruments, just weird, catchy awesomeness. Definitely check out Race first, even though it's all amazing once you give it a listen or two.

this too

Stinky Smelly: Basically sounds like Modest Mouse, which is cool. Fucking awesome live two piece and they're rad dudes.

The Skin Cells: Alex G.'s full band shit. Again, catchy as all hell and they have a song about scooby doo, fuck yeah. Might be some repeats in those downloads, sorry.

The Hundred Acre Woods: Folk indie punk. Keep watch for them, new stuff coming out and they rule hard.

Old People: More basement punk. Guitarist from Stinky Smelly came from this band.

The Cold Fronts: Insanely catchy indie rock pop lo-fi ish shit that is a little different than anything else I really post on here, but whatever.

Roof Doctor: Acoustic/folk. Friend of mine that lives at the Maggot House, which hosts some fun ass shows.

and well, I started something out there too. Picked up the drums randomly and started Cats 22. Improved recordings and lyrics will happen once I move back (I know it sounds like shit)

Big Kids - Don't Be A Baby EP

These dudes are heading over to Europe April 25th - June 6th, which is fucking sweet. Also, Split 7” w/ Joyce Manor on Brick Gun and Solidarity coming soon. Shit is really good, keeping up what they had with Hoop Dreams. If you follow circlingthedrain, yes I copied everything I wrote over there to here, lazy.

Sorry for the humungo break. Moved across the state to Philadelphia. Trying to find bands to play in my basement. Stealing good interwebz until further notice. Time to play catch up.

I always end up coming back to this band. Incredible
