We've formed a pretty good relationship with up and coming Fredericksburg, VA band Tereu Tereu and even collaborate with Adam on the Naked in Virginia sessions. The band is currently hard at work on their next record. While they are known for their unique brand of pop, they have sent me over something a little different. It's an experimental track from lead singer, Ryan Little. Enjoy. mp3 : Completely Fine

As an added bonus, each of the three stops features some local acts. Catch Beatles-esque Drink Up Buttercup in Philly (I'll be at this show, stop by [...]

Once again there's not much to report on, but there is a Black Cat show that deserves to be mentioned and seen.

As a music blog, we get tons of emails from bands. Every single one more or less wants the same thing, exposure. Lately, there has been a backlog and we haven't been able to put the best ones on display. No longer will you have to wait.

They have recently recorded and released an EP. One thing [...]
