New Music, Emerging from your Local Scene
The new Shaking Through episode features one of our favorite bands Creepoid as well as some awesome folks who add so much to the Philly music scene! The project was curated by R5’s Sean Agnew. Kyle “Slick” Johnson (Wavves, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Rogue Wave, etc.) also was the guest producer, and provided his usual brand of comic relief. You can check out some video footage from the session and the fruits of their labor “Old Tree,” which is also available for free download, below. Enjoy!
Talk about a concept album. San Francisco’s indie pop “it” kids The Hundred Days recorded their debut album Really? in just a hundred days and nights. The album, released earlier this fall, blends the band’s love of moody alternative and catchy pop (think The Cure meets Franz Ferdinand); its newest single “Girl At A Party,” the follow up to the unavoidable catchy “Sex U” is another foray into fun, dance music with a signature and melodious sound.
After hitting the festival circuit hard at SXSW, Noise Pop Festival and the BFD festival over the past year, the band has just announced a string of tour dates with Sydney’s Art Vs. Science, including a date on November 4 at SF’s DNA Lounge. Check out the new video for “Girl At A Party” here.

At first glance, the 11-and-12-year old musicians that comprise Fire & Spice may incite one to think of names like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Think again.
The only thing this hard-rocking foursome from Haverhill has in common with the aforementioned pair of pop starlets is that they were all born in the 1990’s. The lads and lasses from Fire & Spice, when asked to share some of their influences, rattled off names like Rush, Slipknot, Rob Zombie and Kiss, surely more substantial fare than that consumed by the likes of Hannah and The Biebs, one should think.
In any event, these kids certainly don’t act their ages when on stage, and display a level of confidence rarely glimpsed in such youthful performers.
On October 7, the precocious young rockers made their Cambridge debut, playing an extended set at the All Asia (yes, really), and we were there, like the proverbial fly on the wall, to observe the proceedings.

Icebird is the new project from rjd2 (a.k.a. Ramble John “RJ” Krohn) and Aaron Livingston (The Mean). They just released their debut full-length album The Abandoned Lullaby last week and wrapped up a mini-tour as a five-piece band in support of it with RJ pulling double duty opening and headlining. Icebird is also running a remix competition for their latest single “Charmed Life,” where you can win some neat prizes. (You can check out the deets for the contest HERE which ends at 11:59pm on October 31.) The friendly duo was nice enough to meet with us before their debut Philly performance this past Friday at Union Transfer. It was a fun interview where we found out some things that you probably didn’t know about the tandem like oddly what you might find RJ doing to unwind after a show or what song Aaron’s mom slapped the shit out of him for singing when he was little or even knowledge for your next trivial pursuit game like what chaff is. You can learn about all that and more in our interview with Icebird HERE.
