The Gaslight Anthem – The Met – Philadelphia, PA – 10/7/22

When The Gaslight Anthem walked off the Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, NJ four years ago, which concluded their 10 Year Anniversary tour of the ’59 Sound, it was figured that this was their final bow until maybe a 20 Year Anniversary.

Billy Bragg / Alice Phoebe Lou – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – 10/1/22

There are musicians that play great music, but the lyrics don’t have any substance. This isn’t a bad thing per se, but most of time that music is marketed toward the masses. Then there are musicians that produce music that make you sit, think, analyze, and constantly have you listening over and over because their… Read More Billy Bragg / Alice Phoebe Lou – Keswick Theatre – Glenside, PA – 10/1/22

Rx Bandits / Nova Charisma – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA – 6/25/22

It’s been about six years since the Rx Bandits have done any sort of touring.  Prior to that, they seemed fairly active for the most part, but the six year gap had fans wondering if their beloved band would make a return.  I’d be first to admit I thought they were done, which would be… Read More Rx Bandits / Nova Charisma – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA – 6/25/22

Closing out the year with a short East Coast run, American Aquarium stopped at the Foundry in Philadelphia and played a hell of a set for a Wednesday night.

The Juliana Theory / Mae – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 11/28/21

The beginning of the 2000’s was the best years for me to find music.  My search for new music was reading the liner notes in albums to see what bands were thanked, compilation albums were a huge part in discovering new bands, and then there was just going to shows with no idea how a… Read More The Juliana Theory / Mae – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 11/28/21

In 2017 the Dropkick Murphys and Rancid embarked on the Boston To Berkeley tour, which proved to be one the best packaged summer tours.

Ace Enders / Pronoun / Carly Cosgrove – The Foundry – Philadelphia, PA – 7/24/21

With concerts coming back in full force, not many of them are being put on inside out of caution. However, the first show back inside wasn’t a loud shoulder to shoulder mosh pit show, but a quite acoustic one. Acoustic shows usually are just as exciting as a full band show because you hear your… Read More Ace Enders / Pronoun / Carly Cosgrove – The Foundry – Philadelphia, PA – 7/24/21
