"Take the captivating intensity of Elliott Smith and roots rock feel of John Butler Trio and you have Newtown’s Emmett Lindsay....The listener is drawn in by Lindsay's voice, which shifts between haunting spoken whispers and grooving melodies, making him a compelling and hypnotic storyteller. " - The Deli Magazine, Philadelphia
The Powder Kegs
Inlets
They demonstrate a unique type of beauty that needs to be absorbed ...The vocal harmonies are vastly layered, and even come across as almost psalmic as if sung by a church choir. They might, just might, even give you chills.

THURSDAY, FEB 11, 2010 7PMOuternational
Channeling the radical stance and the disregard for stylistic parameters that were the hallmark of The Clash, New York City's Outernational is hellbent on restoring righteous indignation to rock and roll through a propulsive, ska-inflected attack.
Gorgeous
Apollo Run
Apollo Run can reference Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, and Arthur Lee in the same refrain, while throwing in some blues for good measure. They have a sound that brings to mind not only the great music of the past, but also the infectious sound represented by more recent acts as varying as Beirut, Gogol Bordello, Muse, and Sufjan Stevens. Apollo Run is a music hall chameleon. Their sound—a haunting piano, urgent guitars, and, on top, McGrew’s tenor, at times both innocent and corrupted, matched seamlessly by the harmonies provided by both Fisk and Kerestes—can mimic the grieving tempo of a New Orleans funeral march, flutter sweetly like a stroll down a country lane, or drive to the beat of a thousand angry voices.
Mean Streets
Mean Streets are a punk band from Philadelphia with ex-members of Cranked Up! and The War's End. The band formed in Spring 2006 and have been going strong ever since. Not being satisfied with banging out mindless riffs, Mean Streets crafts songs with the purpose of creating a high-energy punk sound, with pop sensibility.

FRIDAY, FEB 12, 2010 9PMRumplestiltskin Grinder
After helping to pave the way for the old school metal revival, RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER does more than just rehash thrash; rather, they transcend mere nostalgia as they usher Speed Metal, kicking and screaming, into the new millennium at last. What separates the Philly foursome from the rest is not the precise riffing, raging solos, or the pummeling percussion; rather, it's the attitude, one as contagious as the songs themselves!
