Photo by Rachel Wetzel Philadelphia indie-punk power trio Break It Up came together by chance.

They barnstormed a slew of shows and [...]

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are releasing their new album Electric Slave on August 27th, but you can now listen to their new single "Skulldiggin" on SoundCloud and download the track for free from their website . The blues-funk rock n roll outfit deliver a crashing, static-y tune ladden with great riffs and some sophisticated angst. Do I hear a bit of Hendrix influence in the beginning, too? Cool stuff. Catch Black Joe Lewis at Union Transfer on September 22nd, along with opener Pickwick.
