"There is nothing that is supposed to happen with this band… No one is destined for anything." In episode 4 of Nothing‘s Tired of Tomorrow documentary, the Martin Shkreli plot begins to thicken. However, before the madness breaks out, you experience some possible cringeworthy moments watching Geoff Rickly talk about putting the future of Collect Records on the line with the Nothing release. Dum, dum, dum, dummm….

Delicately beautiful layers of harmony shine through on Parisian transplants The Dove & The Wolf’s sound. There’s a natural ascending strength that gathers as the tender, rolling, folky jangle enhances the tightly entwined vocals lifting into a subconscious sojourn. Tonight, the direction-changing, exuberant Brooks brothers-led LOUDS is also headlining the bill, potentially offering a peak into their upcoming album CHARM UP! Myrrias open the evening as entrancing vocals team with a steady grip of psych/dream-pop instrumentation, drawing you into their depths. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Cynthia Ann Schemmer (of Radiator Hospital) is branching out with a solo project, Swanning. With a debut LP, Drawing Down the Moon, due out via Salinas Records on May 27, it’s first single “Sleep My Pretties,” finds Schemmer’s even-keeled vocals contrasted by the heavy thud of bass and percussion as she voices frustration over her past demons, shifting the balance of power in the process. Swanning will be performing on Friday, May 27 at The Waiting Room. 

Hound frontman Perry Shall looks like he’s having the best time getting the worst presents at his bday celebration in the band’s new music video for "Emotional Collapse". The faux home-movie backdrop gives way to some bitchin’ heavy-psych jams that are found on their latest LP Out Of Space (SRA Records). Enjoy!

With her debut LP Wriggling that was released earlier this year via Sad Cactus, Abi Reimold continued her ascendance. Reimold lyrically navigates in a mind-cleansing scenario, pulling at both ends of dynamics. On one hand, she strings narratives together through an extending path that reveals inner workings, while breaking down personal barriers in a delicate bare manner. However, she still manages to exhibit a furious volatile element, which is capable of chewing up and spitting out any roadblock that lies ahead. That balance of beauty and brashness – a calm, which quickly transforms into chaos makes Reimold (who is accompanied by a full band this evening) a force to reckon with. Tonight at Johnny Brenda’s, she’ll celebrate with a record release performance, joined by the high-leveraging ebb and flow of grunge-punks Loose Tooth. Jacqueline Constance erects precise layers of encompassing soulful R&B, while Reimold’s Fake Boyfriend compatriot Sarah M. opens providing an incisive, comforting eeriness. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

The tales of Jeremiah Tall continue on with his recent Daytrotter session. The Bucks County folk troubadour paid a visit to the Horseshack in Davenport, IA to record songs from his debut ("Penn’s Woods") and sophomore ("I Got A Name," Hardworking Man") albums as well as the previously unreleased "Wanted". The entire performance is available for streaming and download (w/membership) HERE.

It’s well-pieced together melodic rock that gradually climbs before riding the musical momentum down a sharp decline in stampeding fashion. The quartet of Posers, opening as part of the NOFX sold-out show at the TLA, smacks with a sense of immediacy, balancing harmonious anthem-tuned choruses with a quick-bursting instrumental cohesion, wielding itself with sticky, memorable narratives. The band embraces the freeing unity of power-pop, while exhibiting a well-honed sense of firing on all cylinders exemplified in tasty guitar solos and a backend that won’t sit still. Tonight, they’ll be joined by Milwaukee pop-punks Direct Hit!, who will likely be showcasing songs from their forthcoming new album Wasted Mind, and the heavy-ska combination of Mephiskapheles lays down the path to NOFX.

Below is a new music video from Littler for their track "Slippery," off Of Wandering. The lo-fi production was directed and edited by band member Dan Colanduno. It plays out like an homage to LaCroix Sparkling Water and flowers. Littler will be performing this Friday, April 29 at Underground Arts with Dilly Dally and Fat White family.

The Never Ending Get Down, the sophomore LP from Mumblr, is scheduled for release on June 10 via Fleeting Youth. Its first single, “Microwave,” has an isolated-kitchen bareness, initiated by a fraying guitar riff meeting a booming catchy vibe reminiscent of Weezer. You’ll find the quartet performing this Saturday, April 30 at Ortlieb’s, along with Museyroom and Pine Barons. 

With a stick-to-your-ears, unrefined-lingering, riff-rock feel, The Pretties‘ debut EP Control has a possessing sound, churning in a fuzzy accessible-through-the-side-window manner that’s heavy without holding you down, tearing through the mundane. You can catch them live tomorrow night at Kung Fu Necktie with Acid Dad and OOLALA.
