Local area music received a bunch of love yesterday over at Daytrotter. They released recent sessions with psych-pop outfit Teen Men and indie rockers RFA. You can stream a couple of the tracks from each session for free, and both are available in their entirety for streaming and download with membership.

Before Beach Slang‘s new full-length album The Things We Do to Find People Like Us comes out on October 30 via Polyvinyl Records, they have released Volume I of their mixtape collection series. Here, I Made This For You features covers of Ride, Dramarama, Senseless Things, The Plimsouls, and Best Kissers In The World. The band is currently on an extensive U.S. tour, and will be performing next in Philly on Saturday, December 19 at the First Unitarian Church.

The Spirit of the Beehive have a new highly erotic/psychedelic video for the title track of their latest EP You Are Arrived (But You’ve Been Cheated) (Ranch/Ice Age), which was produced by Federico Casanova. We think that we know where they got the orgasmic masturbatory idea from, but we’d like to keep the depths of our porn-site knowledge to ourselves. Great news though – The Spirit of the Beehive just signed to Jade Tree so look out for a new full-length album in 2016!

Before formally adopting the new name Pet, the band, formerly known as Snoozer, released a swan song EP. Don’t sleep on Life Sucks, available digitally below and on cassette courtesy of Third Floor Tapes. The intriguing interplay of jolting instrumentation and unnerving somber vocals creates an interesting multifaceted outer strength versus an internally sensitive dynamic. Catch Pet on Friday, November 6 at Nico Nico Mansion.

Year Of Glad are finding the sweet spots with the one-two combination of Mimi (Nona) Gallagher and Chris Diehm (1994!). Backed by Mike Bell (of Mike Bell & The Movies) and Mike Harping (of Good Luck), the group dropped its self-titled debut EP this past summer via Philly’s own Lame-O Records. They’ll be opening things up tonight at Kung Fu Necktie for Memphis garage-punk all-female quartet Nots. Hometown acts Mannequin Pussy and Telepathic will be the meat of this punk-rock sandwich, helping us push through to the weekend. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.

It doesn’t take long to make a decision regarding All the Togetherness. The debut release by trio The Buy Sell Trades falls distinctly in the buy category with its earthy, jangling, warm folk/country resonance. Under a cloud of dust, clean harmony and gritty surf-inflected guitar create a memorable sound.

Currently on tour with Abi Reimold, alt-country transplants Friendship’s new album You’re Going To Have To Trust Me was recently released via Burst & Bloom Records. Howling with an unfiltered authenticity and a rustling echoey twang, while venturing onto different terrain, the band captures a folk-anchored familiarity, while pushing through the gates of the past. You can stream and purchase the LP below. (Photo by Abi Reimold)

A drafty eeriness hangs in the space-age rockabilly of Rocky Kaminski, the alternative persona of Thom McCarthy. With a new record 2088: The Jumbo-Cricket Landfill Incident being released today, Kaminski will be celebrating its arrival this evening at The Fire. A creepy unknown backdrop looms in Kaminski’s mesmerizing, weary, impassioned, image-littered lyrics, as though the weight of experience and pollution has worn him down, stirring the mess in a pot with a traditional base teleported through a celestial filter. Speaking of tradition, Evan Cory Levine gets the balls rolling with his hybrid folk-jazz sound, while Ali Wadsworth & Company, inspired by Back to the Future’s return, pay homage to Huey Lewis and The News. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Former Creepoid guitarist PeteJoe Urban has a new project called Noema. His debut EP Thought Brings Presence possesses expansive drone-centric tracks that wrap one’s mind in a deserted, meditative soundscape. As that guitar whines like a siren call and the exterior distractions fall away, your thoughts reach inward, exploring the vibes. (Photo by Brandee Nichols)

It’s been a while, but the lingering anticipation appears over. Cold Fronts‘s debut LP Forever Whatever, via Sire Records, will be released this Friday, October 23, and is currently streaming over at WSJ. Packed with infectious rock, chock full of slinky ripping, guitar licks and cruising grooves that seep under the skin, the album’s loose affecting songs hit the ground running. Currently on the road, Cold Fronts rolls into Johnny Brenda’s on November 6 with Heyrocco and Chrome Pony. The waiting period may have seemed like forever, but whatever, let the music play.

With riffs establishing a framework that is jarring while rushing forward in abbreviated bursts, hooking into your sides with unshielded, witty lyrics, Loose Tooth develops a pop-punk sound that snaps into action. The band provides quick-hitting songs that accelerate, merging percussion and high-gear guitar to force the issue; however, the quartet is also able to downshift, allowing the focus to alter on a zoomed-in perspective, softening the blow. The exposed dynamite lined alt-rock of Mumblr joins in on the fun at the batting cages. With a freshly released record, Delusion Moon, via SideOneDummy Records, post-punk trio Meat Wave and raucous Canadian rockers The Dirty Nil complete a bill that is the attitude adjustment one needs on a Tuesday.

After building steam with a bunch of fine power-pop ditties, Purples are back with a touching rock ballad called "Saving One For You," demonstrating their songwriting versatility. The band has been compiling recorded tracks every couple of weeks so they should have enough material for a new album soon enough. Until then, you can catch them live on Friday, November 6 at the Electric Factory with The Districts and Lady Lamb.
