Below is a new music video from Bensalem pop-rock quartet The Burgeoning. It’s for their track "The Lighthouse" off the group’s debut EP "Love Alchemy, Life Algorithm." The video was shot by Will Toms, Lou Peluyera, and Kevin Smith, and it captures glimpses of a young band having fun on the road together intermingled with live performances and backdrops of them and friends along the Atlantic shore.

It feels like it has certainly been a minute since we revisited music from Asaad. That’s not to say that we weren’t feelin’ him. It just seemed like the madness of the music industry had finally gotten to the boisterous emcee who is prone to controversy, and he decided to take down most of his recordings. Well, he’s been back for a bit now, and on his latest single, "Blue Note Entendre," the jazz instrumentals hint at an artist possibly coming closer to some inner peace (as well as being influenced by the iconic record label); however, you can still feel the flames from Asaad’s diction. There is the sound of a young man maturing on this one.

Dream Safari, the electro-pop project from Chris Coulton, recently dropped a new single entitled "Panama." The intricate polyrhythmic beats add a complexity to the track that feels almost effortless amidst its vibrant pop melodies. Coulton will be translating his studio magic to a live setting this Friday, November 14 at local batting cages/music space Everyone Hits. 

If Cold Fronts’ now infamous shows at the Rathaus are any indicator of what to expect for their record release party at The Barbary, it’s going to get dangerously rowdy. However, while Craig Almquist and Al Smith (who founded the band) may have cultivated a dedicated fan base playing late-night shows at the 40-littered, broken-down, University City warehouse nicknamed the Rat, they’ve since scored a Warner Bros Records deal after impressing Sire Records founder Seymour Stein at an impromptu show at SXSW. True to their style, the new high-energy EP, Forever, incites that kind of wild, bouncy, whip-your-head like a maniac dancing (just take a listen to its single "Hit Me"), which sounds like a romcom theme song that’s stuck in your head weeks after you saw the movie. Cold Fronts are opening for Chicago-based Empires, and are currently supporting them on a string of dates this month. Get there early for the all-ages performance, and get ratty. The Barbary, 951 Frankford Ave., 7pm, $10, All Ages – Emily DiCicco

Amnesia, the debut LP the trio of Amanda X, is a record that immediately caught my attention, and with each successive listen, that sonic bond grows stronger. It gives off a close to the vest personal vibe that varies in tone from grey and ominous to bright and promising, consistently moving free in a pop-punk environment in which the individual instrumental elements are tightly woven developing a cohesive sound that’s easy to gravitate toward and rough enough to sink into with enough air to emerge from. Tonight, Amanda X opens for the street-level, dirt-under-your-nails, earnest, sludgy melodic punk of Parkay Quarts; however, the event at PhilaMOCA is sold out so hopefully you planned ahead. PhilaMOCA 531 N. 12th St. 8:30pm, $13, All Ages-Michael Colavita

The prospects for tonight’s SRA Records-oriented dual release show at Boot & Saddle are righteous. "Face," one-side of tormenting psych-death rockers Psychic Teens, is a menacing energetic tune littered with jagged, attacking instrumentations and a dose of commanding growl driven vocals that will crawl into your ear waves in a hauntingly pleasant manner. The heavy-footed pedal to the floor classic metal with garage grit of Perry Shall, Colin Mcginus and Chris Wilson combine as a bona fide rocking force, as Hound, and this show will also serve as the record release for their debut LP Out of Time. The show will also feature renowned hardcore outfit Flag Of Democracy, a.k.a. F.O.D., and the high-speed intensity of Spectrum Disorder. Be prepared for Boot & Saddle to rain sweat and ooze with unrelenting, raucous intensity. In other words, be there. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Son of a preacher man, Son Little, a.k.a. Aaron Livingston, has been building his reputation in the music industry for years working with the likes of such great artists as The Roots and rjd2. Stepping out on his own, you now can stream his new EP Things I Forgot over at The New York Times. The record is set to drop on November 11 via ANTI-. Son Little is currently on tour in Europe.

Hypnotic, experimental goth-punk outfit Far-Out Fangtooth are in for a huge November as they get ready to embark on their first ever European tour on Friday. But before the incendiary avant-psych group leaves, they’re all set to throw a bon voyage party at Johnny Brenda’s tonight, where they’ll be joined by Brooklyn’s LODRO. The show will be opened by fast-paced art-noise group Taiwan Housing Project, which is a collaboration between Mark Feehan of Harry Pussy and Kilynn Lunsford of Little Claw. Expect things to get tripped-out and creepy once these three bands take the stage on the same night! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill

Circadian Rhythms have posted another track called "Nice To Be," the third song that has seen the light of day from their forthcoming EP A Passing Thought. The seven-piece coaxes airy, up-tempo grooves that, while reminiscent of a vintage sound, maintain a fresh energetic tone, utilizing a plethora of instrumentation (including accent punctuating horns) and coupling that with clear peaceful, Beatle-esque vocals. The single is sure to brighten your day. You can stream and download "Nice To Be" for free below.
