Here’s the third and final video from Norwegian Arms‘ Brighton Sound Sessions. It features a spacious new song from the psych-folk trio called "The Iceman," which also goes into "Kiva Ikva" off their LP Wolf Like a Stray Dog.

Below is a nomadic new music video from Brendan Codey for the title track to his latest cassette EP Twin Chimney (Marmara). The footage is doctored up to look like it was captured on 8mm film, and was directed by Zach Mami.

When a new band emerges, as Cool Points did last fall, you’re natural tendency is to see what the driving force of their sound is, what they hang their hat on. Cool Points have a distinctly intense, aggressive bass-thumping, drum-bashing punk vibe. However, the more one listens – it becomes clear that this band isn’t simply pinning their ears back and going full bore. The energy level is undoubtedly high, but there’s a level of balance and control. They’re all charging forward, but rather than spinning their wheels, the band maintains traction. Tonight, they’ll be performing as part of a punk-driven lineup at Crack Mansion that includes DC natives The Harrison Four, who released the effort …Is Still Not Growing Up earlier this week. Crack Mansion, 2224 N. 15th St., 7pm, $3 – $5 Donation – Michael Colavita

Tonight at Kung Fu Necktie, Vintage Kicks will be dishing out “the darker side of surf.” The local four-piece continue their assault on all things traditional with admirable, genre-bending skill. Somewhere treading on the blurred lines of post-punk and new wave, their heavy use of reverb and upbeat chords make for a distinct sound well worth the listen. Feeding off the buzzworthy vibes provided by their debut full-length King Geek, the group plans to release its follow-up some time this summer via Kat Kat Records. Headlining the evening will be fellow surf brothers in arms The Chelsea Kills, who will be riding the wave from their sophomore release Pulp Culture, which was produced by Joe Reinhart (Headroom Studios). Also on the bill will be Philly alt rockers Welter and Seattle/Brooklyn’s The The The Thunder. Come. Dance. Thrash. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 9pm, $8, 21+ (Photo by Josh Mayer) – Ed Newton

In keeping with the bacchanalian disorder that accompanies St. Patrick’s Day in Philly, the lineup at Ortlieb’s on Sunday is random, raucous and good for whatever level of drunkenness you’re prepared to obtain. Univox’s shit-kicking glam rock is a perfect accoutrement to the self-described “beer-battered” garage-pop of Faux Slang, who are more earthy and genuine-sounding than their name would seem to indicate. Also rounding out will be psych-garage trio St. James & the Apostles. Whether you’re nursing a hangover or haven’t even stopped pounding green-tinted Guinness long enough to feel the onset of one, this is a suitably awesome St. Paddy’s festivity, so don’t miss it if you’re still standing.

Wigwams have been out of the picture for a while, as they haven’t played a show since the early summer. But the band has NOT called it quits just yet (though there were signs of a disconnect judging by their BITBY episode). However, it seems that the group has simply taken a hiatus to fine tune their music, while some of their members focused on other projects like finishing up Break It Up’s debut album. Well, the band is finally ready to re-emerge at Johnny Brenda’s tonight where they’ll be opening for the latest project from Fugazi’s Brendan Canty, Deathfix. Wigwams will also be unveiling a new bassist and some never before heard songs. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford St., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
