Freshly released via Jade Tree, Mable, the new album from pop-punk outfit Spraynard is being celebrated with a Sunday performance presented by R5 Productions at PhilaMOCA. The band’s latest record rouses with a percussion-forward tone, establishing a controlled yet aggressive path. That running start adrenaline rush feeds into lyrics that ooze emotion as though pulled straight from the chest (in that universal latches into your lexicon kind of way). There’s a pulling in the same direction consciously clear and melodic aesthetic; the energy level is consistently high, while the collective appears efficient and purposeful. Mable grabs a hold and before long you’ll be raising the volume and singing along. With there self-titled debut LP due out August 28 via Jade Tree, the uninhibited sound of Dogs on Acid will get things moving with help from local pals, Year Of Glad, and Casual. PhilaMOCA 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $12, All Ages – Michael Colavita

A pair of local outfits celebrates their new EPs with performances this evening at Johnny Brenda’s. Goodnight Lights welcomes their latest release Say What You Want. The EP is pushed by the constant backend that steadily surges, paving the way to thick guitar lines that serve as punctuation marks as melodically layered, ironed-out vocals provide clear expanses. It’s decidedly clean, with accelerated rushes sprinkled in as pedal-to-the-floor showcases of strength. With their own freshly released EP Diving Bell, the power pop of Spelling Reform (which includes Dan Wisniewski and Mark Rybaltowski previously of The Quelle Source) build a feel-good vibe as Wisniewski’s contemplative narrative vocal style ties into strolling-through-the-neighborhood instrumentation, reflecting on a series of emotions in a purposely loose yet personal way. Openers Shark Tape will catch you on their robust blend of hook-filled rock. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Hot off the heels of the announcement that Cyberbully Mom Club has taken a "temporary hiatus," frontwoman Shari Heck has announced the arrival of her new solo project called ÒOR. So Heck’s next album release in August will now be a self-titled debut LP under her latest moniker. She also posted ÒOR’s first official single "Peach To A Peach" today, along with other tracks that she has already shared online as Cyberbully Mom Club (except also for the little ditty "Waves"), which will appear on the new record. Though this might signal the actual demise of Cyberbully Mom Club, we are excited to learn that there will be more Shari Heck tunes coming in our near future – enjoy!

Nothing’s video for their haunting cover of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” (which was featured on the Nirvana tribute album Whatever Nevermind, released via Robotic Empire) really digs in. The eerie combination of piano lead and composed yet macabre vocals establishes a distinct and chilling mood. Directed by Kevin Haus, the footage depicts a woman unable to escape the symbolic dirt and grime.

With the recent addition of Mike Quinn (ex-And The Moneynotes), the indie-rock trio of Purples has evolved into a quartet. Their new single “Love is Blind” takes a creepy first step, orchestrated via keys and a thumping bass line, which then transitions into a strolling psych rocker. Vocal harmonies, grounding percussion, tight guitar licks and those persistent keys and bass produce a song that’s airy with an edge. Catch the band when they return home on Wednesday, July 22 at Ortlieb’s with Lightninging and Gladshot!

Ho, ho, ho – it’s that time of year again – to celebrate Xmas in July! You can do so this evening at Bourbon & Branch with the wonderfully aggressive beats of NAH and the tongue-in-cheek garage-punk of TWIIN. There will be holiday themed drink specials – Wondermint & Kringle Kream. And don’t forget to dig into your closet for their ugly sweater contest – cheers! Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd. St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.

The duo of Marian Hill, a.k.a. Jeremy Lloyd & Sam Gongol, have a new live Sperry Session over at Rolling Stone, which includes three songs from their album Sway – “One Time,” “Got It,” and “Whisky.” Lloyd’s tantalizing electronic beats create a cool jazz-infused, R&B foundation with that snappy percussion and casually magnetic bass melding with Gongol’s seductive, sultry vocals, morphing into a modern yet classic sound that in a live format injects Steve Davit’s sweet flurries of saxophone to provide an additional burst of energy and polish. Marian Hill is set to perform at the Made in America Festival in September, and also has a performance on October 1 scheduled at Union Transfer.

Did everyone else in Philly get a loud flash flood warning via their cell this morning around 5am? Not cool. Well, the sun seems to be peaking out for now, snapping us back to good vibes that we felt this past weekend. Well, indie-rock/pop outfit Illinois is here to help you through the rest of this hump day with beachy vibes in the new music video for their single "Summer." You can find the track on their latest full-length album Shine.

Dogs on Acid, which is made up of former Algernon Cadwallader members Peter Helmis, Joe Reinhart, and Nick Tazza and Snowing‘s Nate Dionne, just premiered their new single "The Prick," over at SPIN. It’s off their upcoming debut self-titled record, which will be release on August 28 via well-respected indie label Jade Tree. The foursome will be doing a Northeast run of shows this week with Spraynard, capping things off back home in Philly on Sunday, July 19 at PhilaMOCA.
