The never-ending arguments about the decline or even death of originality in music are becoming increasingly irrelevant, in my eyes. What is most important is not what a band do, but instead, how they do it, and above all, what they do with it . There are many bands around that Various Cruelties could be lumped in with, and in the wrong hands, their passionate, shamelessly poppy songs would be stripped of all life and enthusiasm, but by deciding to go down the self-titled route for their debut, they've made it more like a declaration [...]

"Do we fade out or burn like the sun?"… "Do we see this through together as one or do we go it alone into the great unknown?"… It seems to me like Various Cruelties have big issues on their minds. Being a philosophy student I can indeed confirm that we can never know the answers to these questions. What we can know, however, is that Various Cruelties are releasing the new single "Great Unknown" on the 1st January 2012. What great questions to kick off a new year with. Read more..
The Black Bull is singer-songwriter Matt Perri, and this video is the latest to come from his Toronto-based project. Though Matt isn't reinventing the wheel there, he does come across very captivating with a strong, emotional lead vocal and some airy synths. The background vocals are cute, too. Hear more tracks from the Black Bull on SoundCloud .

If you're feeling like "it's Thursday night, and I need my Balkan Dance Party fix," don't worry - it's on! But not in the usually red walls of Tritone - West Philadelphia Orchestra are classing it up a bit tonight, and heading over to the new Milkboy Philly. Again, don't worry - it will still be the same soul cleansing event that you know and love - well, maybe except for the Center City prices. However, it's always nice to have a change of scenery to keep things fresh. And you'll also be treated to the tug-at-your-heartstring tunes [...]

There's something beautiful about the Great Unknown . It's not only because of the stark and bewitching alt-country they weave, or the yearning intones and the seizing rhythms. It's also because of their collaboration with the American Society of Composers (ASCAP) and the national after-school program, American SCORES, in late 2010. As part of this team up, the ASCAP Songwriter Residency at America SCORES brought the West Philly outfit in to write and record a collection of songs with public school youth from underserved communities in Washington DC, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York, and Boston. The result of that is [...]

The Key Studio Sessions' Summer Mixtape

The KeyPhoto by John Vettese In less than a week, it will officially be summer. Longer days and warmer nights—except for those that are unseasonably cold (thanks, jet stream, you temperamental weather pattern). A time for relaxation and reflection. A time to once again look back over the archive of studio sessions I've recorded with the uber-talented musicians and songwriters of the Philadelphia region, as we look ahead to the next milestones in our journey: the XPoNential Music Festival and the first birthday of The Key. Revisitation is a fun task; we've done a lot [...]
