Philadelphia-based The End of America are celebrating the release of their self-titled album tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. The group’s tight harmonies carry strong lyrics that are cradled within dark, modern Americana and rock songs that are highly memorable. The record aches with hope for ourselves and our world, and is a personal voyage for the artist as much as it is for the listener. It’s a big, polished sound from the local trio. Joining them for support this evening is Pete Hill, sharing his sometimes funky, sometimes soulful, sometimes quirky, and always fun brand of sonics. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Keith Kelley
