It was colder, windier and walking back and forth between 7 stages on concrete was more punishing than expected. Sets started at 6pm and headliners went on in the darkspace of 3am. Clashes between beloved bands playing at the same time on different stages was often soul-destroying. But it was Barcelona, baby, and Primavera Sound Festival delivered a week of uniquely programmed alternative music that ranged from beloved 90s bands on the revival tour, new punks, acousticky guitar folk, indie pop, and a few token electro and rap artists. Gaudi by day, music [...]

Sohrab Habibion, guitarist of Obits, described the Black Box room at Underground Arts as being like a lectern during their show Thursday. That was due in part to the arena-style seating, low ceiling and how close the crowd was able to get to the band because of the stage being around four inches tall. In ... Continue reading �

John Reis of Swami Records has posted four instrumental demo tracks from the formative days of his band Hot Snakes , featuring just Reis and drummer Jason Kourkounis. He writes: Here are 4 leftover instros from the Auto Midnight recording session before there was even a Hot Snakes. It's just me and Jason. We recorded 18 songs in 3 days, sent off the songs to Rick who then picked his faves and then later sang on them. Those finished songs constituted the first record with a couple later ending up on Suicide Invoice. So [...]

Photos and words by Samantha Saturday “Does it feel like 4:39 to you?” remarked John Reis just before leading The Night Marchers into an early matinee set at Alex’s Bar on Sunday. Even with the sun still shining outside White Murder, The Night Marchers, and Hot Snakes kicked the atmosphere into high gear. Hot Snakes shows are few and far between these days, but it seems that nothing can keep them (or their fans) from running on all cylinders. [...]

Pissed Jeans are bringing their brand of heavy/hardcore punk in the vein of SST record's 80's roster to Underground Arts tonight when they open for San Diego post-hardcore outfit Hot Snakes. The Philly by way of Allentown noise assassins capture the pent up aggravations and frustrations of mundane living releasing it all on stage through the volatile wails of vocalist Matt Korvette and head-banging Black Sabbath-inspired riffs. It's been a treat to see the Sub Pop four-piece performing out at more local shows lately, and I hope that this trend continues. But you never know if it will or [...]

Ever since I was old enough to complain, my dad took great pleasure in the act of dragging my always-resistant ass to music festivals. A summer full of glorious music for him meant a summer full of unstifled groans from me. His taste in music back then - folk, folk, and nothing but folk - meant we hit folk festivals exclusively, and he wasn't shy about tackling the big, multi-day camp-out fests that separate the men from the meek. I have fond, fuzzy memories of trying to enjoy the Philadelphia Folk Festival and basically roasting alive under an angry sun [...]
