Words by Brendan. Pittsburgh photo courtesy of Hugh Twyman Summer concert season is getting underway, and this weekend is perfect evidence of that. There are plenty of options and we're sure you'll find a show you'll want to see. You might even find too many! Stream some songs right here and read up on the bands hitting stages all over town in the next few days. And wish that you had a teleporter and a time machine to make it to all of them. Nik [...]

My recommendation: let these conformists have a listen to Kadman 's sophomore release These Old Bones . Let thee be regretful and God forgive them for their ignorance when they hear the awesome sounds of this Baltimore-based threesome. David Manchester (guitar/vocals) and company (Frank Corl on drums, James Bahleda on everything you can [...]
