Upcoming shows in Philly

Well, I should have been heading to Camden after the Villanova game today to see Slayer, Megadeth and Testament. But... the show got pushed back to August because Tom Araya headbanged too much and had to get surgery. Seriously.

Although that was disappointing, there are quite a few decent shows this spring. I'm hoping to make it to as many of these as possible. As more shows pop up (good ones at least) I'll try to keep this updated. Pretty pumped about HOF at the church!

These Mountains Are Safe

this is the first full length from the texas trio Shapes Stars Make, and it sounds a hell of a lot like the bands that have obviously influenced them... explosions in the sky, the appleseed cast, mono, etc...

it's a good album but so many people are tired of the same old post-rock bullshit that many won't give it a chance, and that is unfortunate. the first song sounds like it could be from the new EITS record, but after that it starts to take on a uniqueness of it's own with the help of vocals and some more appleseed cast sounding parts. it takes some patience but worth it if you can sit down and give it a full listen

Sufer Blood - Astrocoast

listen

This band was getting a lot of pitchfork hype so I checked it out figuring I'd hate it but it's actually pretty good. Been compared to Built to Spill, early Weezer and Dinosaur Jr.
