It’s starting to feel like a week of comebacks. Here’s a new track called "Queen Flea," which you can stream and download for free below, from Bucks County’s Illinois ( who are probably best known for providing the soundtrack to Weeds‘ infamous "Brick Dance" with their fan favorite "Nosebleed"). The single will appear on their upcoming album that has yet to receive a title or release date.

Through all their past unpolished, lo-fi recordings, we always knew that Pill Friends were holding plenty of potent songs among their collection of downer-pop. On their latest EP fade into nothing, the group headed into the studio this past August with Kyle Pulley at Headroom, fleshing out older favorites like "klonopin" and "promethazine," giving them a sheen that had not been seen/heard in any of the band’s previous releases. Opener and new track "samael" seems to glow like a beacon of light guiding us towards Pill Friends’ future sound. Maybe now more folks may finally start to realize how rad this project really is.

It’s been almost three years since we’ve heard new material from Spank Rock. Well, the wait is finally over with his latest track "Gully" that premiered earlier today over at Stereogum. It was produced by Boys Noize and Kid Kamillion, proving that the foul-mouthed Baltimore transplant can still get the party started with a club banger. The single officially comes out May 20 via his own label Bad Blood Records.

We were first introduced to Joe Montone, a.k.a. Heat Thunder, through his debut EP Melody, Love & Soul, a medley of tracks that eventually inspired a collaboration with New York-based filmmaker Evan Cohen. The short film captures the spacious sounds of the record, which was heavily-influenced by the wooded landscapes of Montone’s hometown, Doylestown, a place that The Deli is quite familiar with, having birthed favorites like Aderbat, Night Panther and many others. Since then, the project has grown into a full band that consists of William Chamuris (Commonwealth Choir) on drums, Luming Hao (Our Griffins) on guitar and vocals, and bassist Matthew Philips, who also produced Heat Thunder’s single, "Solo World" (below), their first recording effort as a group. They’ll be headlining the upstairs room at World Cafe Live this evening supported by pals Delco Pacers and The Naked Sun. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St., 9pm, $8, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman

Telequanta, a.k.a. J. Termini, just shared his new track "Hidden Characters." The laidback, interstellar minimal house groove is the latest single off his debut album Metaverse. The record will be available as a limited edition run of plantable hand-made album art cards (100 copies), scheduled for release next week on May 20 via Philly electronic label Data Garden, but you can pre-order it HERE.

Orbit to Leslie‘s frontman Chris Wood began playing around with doo-wop in lo-fi on the band’s EP Preppy Spooky. With his latest project Gorgeous Porch, he continues to experiment with the genre intermingling Casio beats and dreamy melodies to create an eerily beautiful groove. Check out "Make Out San Fransisco" (below), which opens his EP Moomania that was recorded with the collaborative help of Pat Bradley. Enjoy! (Photo by Amy Mulligan)

Just in time to complete your last minute Mother’s Day shopping, the Art Star Craft Bazaar returns for its 11th year running to The Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing. The popular riverside park will be filled to the brim with 100+ craft vendors selling their goods, and there will also be arts & craft demos, a cut & paste photobooth, and plenty of food trucks to enjoy. And in the center of it all will be a live music stage that will feature some interesting local musicians on both days. On Saturday, afternoon Oldermost should impress when they perform songs from their latest album I Live Here Now. And on Sunday, Kwesi K will showcase why his latest EP Lovely has been garnering him a lot of praise. Saturday will also see Levee Drivers deliver their dynamic blues-tinged rockabilly, meanwhile Sunday will feature the first of many free outdoor shows that Johnny Showcase will be performing in the month of May. Also playing over the weekend will be Liz & the Lost Boys, Royal Shoals, Wilbur, Khari Mateen, and many more.
