Hankering for a quick fix of melodrama and some intense shoegaze-y psych rock? Then get your ass down to Underground Arts tonight where Philly’s own Creepoid will be opening for Sub Pop’s Obits. Their grungy, slowcore-inspired tunes will have you entranced in no time. The band is currently working on the follow-up (which will also be released via No Idea Records) to their impressive full-length album Horse Heaven. Also on the bill will be basement-dwelling surf rockers LE Yikes SURF CLUB, who spent last summer touring the country in support of their record Yikes (Grizzly). Yeah – once again, the weathermen were full of shit about snow coming our way so you have no reason to miss this show. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 7:30pm, $12, 21+ – Ed Newton
Yo wonderful peoples!

The darkly moving electronic/soul duo, Sister Crayon has relocated to the Bay Area and is intensely working to inspire their listeners with new music. Before revealing a new live sound, tour dates and details about their second full length album later this Spring, Sister Crayon has released the title track from their upcoming EP entitled, Cynic as an mp3 single. Cynic will be released on Fake Four Inc in April. Self proclaimed recluse, and the artistic backbone of Sister Crayon, Terra Lopez permeates beautiful and haunting vocals on the new single which creates a strong anticipation for the release of the full EP.
Here’s a new session from our pals at HotBox Studios with Cheers Elephant performing "Peoples," the opening track from 2012’s Like Wind Blows Fire. The band is beginning an extensive tour tomorrow in Nashville that will end towards the end of April. They’ll be back in Philly on Thursday, April 4 to open for Darwin Deez at the First Unitarian Church.

Los Angeles trio Beware of Darkness are all about the attitude – "Howl" the first reveal off their upcoming debut release, Orthodox, epitomizes a classic brand of guitar rock built around sharp-toothed riffs and thumping rhytmic grooves that is seldom seen as inspiration for the new wave of bands currently at the top of the modern rock charts. Yes, there is some of that smoky, jam-oriented approach the Black Keys popularized ever since they released Brothers, but their skeletal arrangements dominate with an urgency that is all their own; their raucous, whiskey-infused sound screams instant gratification. With a confidence that cannot be ignored, the gritty, bluesy tones of Beware the Darkness are too potent and pervasive to think that they merely replicate the sounds of a seventies jukebox. Orthodox will be released on May 7th via Bright Antenna Records.
Eyelit is driven by the husband-and-wife team of Austin and Dansare Marks. The couple shares a chemistry that comes through their folky compositions. The St. Joseph group has risen in popularity since the release of its debut album The Woe Dies and its inclusion on recent local compilation Midwestern Audio, Vol. 1. We wanted to get to know them a little better, so we talked with Austin and Dansare about the band.
