World Cafe Live is hosting a fundraiser for Beyond The Bars, featuring rising local artists such as The Districts and Hop Along’s Frances Quinlan. All ticket sales will benefit the Beyond The Bars program, which provides musical education and instruments for incarcerated youth in Greater Philadelphia. The program seeks to empower these disadvantaged young men and women by equipping them with an outlet for creative expression and a sense of agency while they grapple with the frequently disorienting and dissociative bureaucracy of the criminal justice system. In support of this righteous cause, The Districts will take to the stage on Sunday evening with their universally adored, weary-plodding folk-pop/rock. Frances Quinlan will jolt you awake with her electric and hugely dynamic voice. Also pitching in for the cause will be Lushlife (DJ Set), Queen of Jeans, Ben Arnold, Milton, and The Bul Bey. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St, 4pm, $20, All Ages. – Bryce Woodcock

It seems that frontman Matt Scottoline has totally embraced his pop sensibilities on Hurry‘s forthcoming album Guided Meditation. Below is the second sampling, called "When I’m With You," off the new record, which will be out on April 29 via Lame-O Records. You can also join Hurry for their release celebration on Friday, May 6 at Everybody Hits.

Pinkwash continue their slash-n-burn/scorched earth policy on the duo’s latest single "Metastastic." Joey Doubek feels like he’s vocally channeling PiL-era John Lydon over the blistering drum-guitar assault. Pinkwash will be releasing their new LP Collective Sigh on May 13 via Don Giovanni Records.

Has-Lo delivers the goods with an old-school lyric-first sensibility embracing a both sides of the coin, with narratives delving deep, documenting the tireless climb upward. Hitting with a low-key bounce, the stories roll forward in a relentless sense of purpose, slickly combining phrases with a keen wit and an eye on the prize, which lies in the distance. However, all isn’t heavy; with his new EP Hard Writer, he finds an introspective manner of levity. Speaking of levity, with a freshly minted new album Hella Personal Film Festival, Open Mike Eagle headlines this late night gem, connecting the cognitive dots through personal commentary that depicts reality, with a humorous scope. DJ Bearbait, a.k.a. Chris Ward, opens the evening concocting a mix of R&B, soul, and funk, while kickstarting a bill worth waiting to the wee hours. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N.

“Boundaries” is the latest snapshot from Clique’s forthcoming sophomore album Burden Piece, which will be released via Topshelf Records on May 27. The song captures the core of a setting, with a minimalist guitar pattern, drawing you toward the zoomed-in aesthetic that the layered vocal narrative develops. It’s a short shot that slows down for a few moments to reveal the details. Clique will be playing at Kung Fu Necktie on Saturday, May 7 with Solids and Stove. (Photo by Eric Bishop)

Sustained somber and a smattering of the drum skins dictate the tone of “ACD (Abscessive Compulsive Disorder)”, the new single from Philly’s own Nothing. Featured on their forthcoming album Tired of Tomorrow, which is scheduled for release on May 13 via Relapse Records, the song carries a meditative yet noisy air, with the injection of an anthemic chorus that burrows in your brain. Nothing is currently scheduled to perform next in Philly on Friday, July 8 at Union Transfer, for a belated record release show, which will also includes Culture Abuse and Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler.

Grubby Little Hands‘ new record, Garden Party, will be released via Lefse Records on April 29. "No Such Thing," the second single from the album, opens with a haunting stir, before catapulting into a jangly, snap-and-pop psych vibe. It’s the kind of joyful tune that ushers in the warmer temperatures with enough of a twist to keep you on your toes. Grubby Little Hands will be at Johnny Brenda’s on April 30 with Shelf Life and Cold Foamers.

Over the weekend, local outfits Tangiers and Straw Hats issued a split EP, Is This Split. Tangiers occupy the first half of the album the chilled-out groover "Home Invasion," the blistering "Hey Mama," and the casually intense "Marijuana USA," while Straw Hats grab the reins, weaving grunge grit with a fun twist on  "Salmon," "Neighborhood Watch," and "Drones." It’s a mesh of light and heavy that meets somewhere in the middle.
