Featured on their latest album Play The Songs You Like (Salinas Records), Radiator Hospital recently shared a music video for “Lonely Road” via the band’s new website. Directed David Combs and Ben Epstein, the footage captures the crew embracing the joys of Hershey Park. However, in contrast to their playful surroundings, a singular member just cannot escape a dreary outlook. On Sunday, June 3, Radiator Hospital and LVL Up are slated to support Japanese Breakfast at Union Transfer.

Three Man Cannon’s forthcoming self-titled LP will be released on March 16 via Lame-O Records. Its lead single, “Building Broken Steps,” casually rolls up on you. A loose, strolling, laidback aesthetic is well-honed, maintaining a mature outlook in the face of the ache of anecdotal lyricism. Pivoting perspective in a singular moment, the song, which initially feels breezy, in time, hits harder. (Photo by Craig Scheihing)

"I’ve wanted to make a cover album for a while because whenever I can’t write a song, I try to learn somebody else’s," Cold Fronts‘ Craig Almquist shared. "When I started putting together the EP I realized all the songs I was covering were about unrequited love, and what better day to put that out than on Valentines Day." Whether you have someone or not on this Hallmark-est of holidays, take Cover Yr Heart for a spin below, and feel free to fork over a bit of cash to make it your own. All proceeds will be donated to Girls Rock Philly, "a youth-centered music organization dedicated to building an intergenerational community of girls, women, and trans and gender non-conforming people." And don’t forget to cop Cold Front’s forthcoming album Fantasy Du Jour, which is due out on 4/20. (We know that it might be hard for you to remember that day so be a smart, little stoner and leave yourself a note where you like to keep your stash ASAP. 😉 (Photo by Bridgette Aikens)

The good lady and gents of Creepoid will be ending it all this Saturday, February 17 at Union Transfer, and we’d like to send you to their funeral.

To enter for a chance to win a pair of tix, just send an email to thedelimagazinephiladelphia@gmail.com with the subject line "Bring Weed".

Orange Jewel recently served up its debut EP IUS, and it sure sounds tasty. Blending fire-starting riffs and mellow, daydreaming melodies, there’s an assertive instrumental acceleration, tempered by emotive awareness. Whether catching a lift in the energetic caravan or relaxing in the subdued surf/jazz serenade, this collection refreshes the mind. It’s just what your ears ordered.

“Be Free,” the debut single from fledgling psych-rock quartet Nematode, is an ear-opening hello. The song utilizes vocal harmony and slices of tangential guitar to spread out that spacey, Pink Floyd-inspired sound. Grounded by the groove, the vocals smoothly ascend, reaching for something that lies just out of reach.

Krust Toons: "D-I-CRY" by Tedd Hazard – please feel free to drop him a line at teddandthehazards@gmail.com if you dig or have any funny ideas. You can also check out more of his illustrations and animation shorts HERE.

Sandcastle recently shared a new four-song EP. Amethyst continues their traveling minstrel exploits. There’s an eerie intimacy within this folk-pop potion. Reveling in Renaissance-inspired tones, genuine emotion peers through the castle windows.

Recalling a dream, a youthful jangle permeates in "Nosebleed," the latest single from Borzoi Boy. Instrumentally aided by Vincent Joseph Knauf, the song coasts in a bedroom-pop search. An internal monologue spills out in light-level melody. You can catch Borzoi Boy at Hole Foods this Friday, February 16 with Yung Sham, Cooking, and David Attias.

This Sunday, The Sound Hole stretches the standard sonic boundaries. Taiwan Housing Project tears into noise-laced, sorcery-stemming punk angst, peppered in free-jazz notes. That chaotic hybrid churns along the rails, casting a post-apocalyptic storm, while teetering on the edge of destruction that naturally rights itself. Jason Killinger (Spacin’, Birds of Maya) locks into down and dirty riff-tastic rock, turning down strange alleys of ambiance that orchestrate an odd, endless, space boogie. Kevin Nickles (Taiwan Housing Project, Ecstatic Vision) and Daniel Provenzano (Spacin’, Purling Hiss), a.k.a. The Writhing Squares, tie together this lineup. There’s a heavy, burrowing, instrumental drive that moves with an insatiable exploratory appetite into deep space, incorporating an array of instrumentation that’s progressive with a primal core. Louisville, Kentucky’s Tropical Trash fits nicely into this assembly of eclectic, experimenting music makers. – Michael Colavita

Popular Music, the new album from The Guests, is now available for streaming and purchase. The serious presence of baritone vocals is folded into loose, progressing, new-wave grooves. Blending ominous warnings with jangly wanderings, these songs engage with pensive lyricism, while retaining an intense danceability. The Guests will holding their record release celebration this evening at Voltage Lounge, with DJs Nightwitch, Strykk-9, and Shari Vari.

Greg Mendez just released his first full band album, & Gum Trash, backed by Evan Bernard (The Superweaks), Ian Farmer (Modern Baseball, Slaughter Beach, Dog), and Cody Wren (Decent). Contagious, concise instrumentation attaches to personally-connecting lyrics, tying the listener into the narratives. The recordings welcome you into a new, musical house, which soon feels like a friendly, familiar home. This Sunday, February 11, Boot & Saddle will be hosting Mendez’s record release show, where he’ll be support by Shannen Moser, Neil O’Neil, and Queen Jesus. (Photo by SJ Penchenski)
