We’ve been huge fans of Waxahatchee, the musical vehicle of skilled songwriter and Alabama native turned Brooklynite turned Philadelphian Katie Crutchfield, since her lo-fi 2012 debut American Weekend, and delighted in watching her stature rise and sound evolve with 2013’s buzzy Cerulean Salt, as well as her latest, 2015’s Ivy Tripp. With a punk and folk-tinged indie sound, and…

Best known for founding and co-fronting seminal Philadelphia punk group The Dead Milkmen, eclectic punk pioneer Joe Jack Talcum has been even more prolific in his solo work over the last several decades, largely opting to self-record and self-release tapes throughout the ’80s and ’90s, while also taking part in other projects like The Low Budgets.

As we recently announced, emotionally-charged local alt rock outfit Daisyhead are gearing up to release their sophomore LP, In Cased You Missed It, April 28 via No Sleep Records. A followup to stunning 2015 effort The Smallest Light, the group’s journey to a new album was not without hardship, but from the sound of first single “Don’t Feel Bad”…

Three exciting, rising garage, grunge, punk, and pop influenced acts, LA’s Cherry Glazerr, New York’s Ian Sweet, and Chicago’s Lala Lala are coming to The High Watt later this month, March 24, and with new albums out from every single band, it’s incredible time to see them live. All fronted by (or made up of) women (not that that defines them, but…

Back in 2012, multi-instrumentalist and violin virtuoso K Ishibashi, better known by his pseudonym Kishi Bashi, burst onto the scene with his debut full-length LP 151A. Since then, he’s evolved his unique mixture of orchestral pop tinged with experimental riffs and rhythms that always leave you guessing.
