One man recording project turned full on band, Bridge Underwater, has another sweet little indie pop track "Take a Piece of Me." It seems as though, every couple months the band releases another darling of a track; they seem to be songsmiths of love, lovelorn, and pining over you kind of songs. On "Take a Piece of Me," their jangly guitars comfort a warmhearted pop song. Bridge Underwater on Facebook and Bandcamp
Below is a new track from Bridge Underwater called "Take a Piece of Me" that is available to download for "name your price." It premiered earlier today via YVYNYL . Enjoy! Take a Piece of Me by Bridge Underwater
Bridge Underwater - Take a Piece of Me I know there are a lot of you out there who'd agree that not enough bands are snatching pieces of David Bowie 's early career. This Philly outfit does - picks the meat off those skinny bones and stuff them into tight melodies. High cheekbones. Alien stares. Look for more on their Bndcmp . Previously: " BeLoved "
The homegrown Philadelphia boys in Bridge Underwater have a groovy college-campus feel. They're in the coolest band your older brother ever recommended and play songs you can't seem to forget. "BeLoved," the band's latest single, is perfect for road trips with buddies or just drives to the supermarket. Look for a new Bridge Underwater EP to [...]
Bridge Underwater - BeLoved One man recording project turned full on band, >Bridge Underwater, released this sweet little indie pop track "BeLoved." The jangly guitars hide underneath it a tender pop song, delivered with reverby vocal styles. The trio plans on releasing an EP of new music in early 2012. Bridge Underwater on Facebook and Bandcamp
Here's some new music from Bridge Underwater for your listening pleasure. The trio are planning to release an EP in 2012, but in the meantime, enjoy their lo-fi downbeat pop track BeLoved . Listen to the song here: BeLoved
Bridge Underwater released a new single a couple of weeks ago called "BeLoved." In the studio, Bridge Underwater is the work of Patrick Mellon—who peformed, recorded, and mixed the track by himself. The song has a snappy, '60s-style Kinks power-pop vibe to it, with vocals that recall the late Marc Bolan of T. Rex. Mellon's musical releases stretch back to June 2006, and he's progressed nicely from lo-fi pop tunes to more shiny, highly produced indie-pop songs.
Do you miss Grandaddy's quiet, winding brand of indie rock? If not, please have a technician check your Missing Awesome Things that Are No Longer Around unit: it's clearly on standby . But if so, Philly's Eat Your Birthday Cake ride Grandaddy's groove so damn hard and well it'll make your needle skip a beat. On Monday, May 2nd, Eat Your Birthday Cake will release Enemies for free download and limited edition CD-R. And it's a doozy. To celebrate the album's release, they're throwing a block party in Fishtown, hosted by [...]

People from Philadelphia are hot.' We know. Cozy Galaxies [...]
The Onion , who just recently launched in Philly , are doing a ticket giveaway for some show we might have talked about a little bit. Namely one sponsored by this blog and featuring the excellent Cozy Galaxies, Grubby Little Hands, and Bridge Underwater. Enter now at The AV Club's site . And special thanks go to Sly Fox (and Suzanne ) for their green room consideration, the wonder that is Odyssey x2 IPA, and for helping make Philly's beer scene so kickass since 1995.
Kurt Vile has his hands in a lot of Philadelphia pies That Kurt Vile record? Oh my gawd. The best Philly record in roughly forever. If you're previously familiar with Vile, you'll recognize the same juke that Deerhunter pulled with Halcyon Digest : the sound got less aggressively "weird," but underneath the shinier veneer is an intensified strangeness: a musical force that rips you apart while maintaining eye contact. If you're just joining the Kurt Vile freak train (of course it's not because of Pitchfork's BNM . No, I know. You're not [...]
More on this-and the bands-later, but a month from tomorrow we'll be throwing down with three of our favorite Philly bands. Really: we couldn't be more thrilled to have all three bands on this lineup. Even if we weren't involved, I'd call this show can't miss*. Cozy Galaxies, "Clean Yourself Up" Cozy Galaxies, "Dreamer" Grubby Little Hands, "Feel In My Back" Grubby Little Hands, "The Length Of The Chains" Bridge Underwater, "Send [...]
Talk about strength in (relatively few) numbers. Philly's maximally minimal Bridge Underwater makes a joyful Apples In Stereo-esque noise, big stuff for a band that's a duo most of the time. We can hear bass on the recordings, and sometimes there's a bassist onstage—but generally, Bridge Underwater is Pat Mellon on guitar and John Baslie on drums, operating with tremendous economy of arrangement and sound. Check out their poppy indie anthem "Send Me All Your Love" below; you can hear the entire EP, as well as some older recordings, over at their Bandcamp page . And make [...]
Philly. So close but yet so far. I live about an hour and a half away from Philly yet I never get to go (mainly due to a lack of money and the fact that I don't drive). I've been a couple of times, mainly for immigration purposes and a failed attempt at seeing British Sea Power in 2004 (ended up getting lost in the ghetto at 1am), and the music that's coming out the city these days is nothing short of awesome. Bridge Underwater is just one of those acts. One-man band Pat [...]
Send Me All Your Love Philly indie-rockers and pop songsmiths Bridge Underwater recently contacted me with a link to their EP Send Me All Your Love. The EP a short 3 songs long just isn't enough. The three tracks available for a dollar on their bandcamp. These songs are a blast to listen to. The title track, Send Me All Your Love, is a sweet indie pop track that will absolutely have you bobbing your head, tapping your toes, and clicking repeat. I'm falling in love with this track and honestly haven't turned it [...]
Pat Mellon and John Basile of Bridger Underwater Bridge Underwater has been active in the Philly music scene since 2005, releasing three EPs and an album. Their newest EP, Send Me All Your Love (available now for a bargain bottom $1 at Bandcamp ), is a gamechanger. The titular track has been spinning Noise Narcs' platters several times a day since we were introduced to it last week. A Beatles-esque romp that dips its feet into New Wave's driving guitar and beat, "Send Me All Your Love" makes big on [...]
