Last night was the first time that TRUST ever visited Philadelphia. The Toronto-based electronic outfit brought us all a sexy-good time at the North Star Bar, headlining a bill comprised of Void Vision, the Downtown Club and DJ Passable Plastic, who all happen to hail from Philly. The show marked the beginning of their current string of North American shows, where they had just wrapped up a large portion of their Fall 2012 tour over in Europe. The trio on stage played a generous portion of their twisted synth-pop debut TRST from Arts & Crafts, even slipping in a couple brand new tracks that have yet to have a home. Robert Alfons led the way in his dark, brooding tone for the duration of the show, often times sounding right on point with what you hear in their recorded material. Perhaps once this current tour of theirs is over, we’ll start hearing more about these new songs they played last night. Continue reading “TRUST Live in Philadelphia (10/24/12)”

It’s been awhile since their debut, but NAOMI PUNK dropped their sophomore album The Feeling on Couple Skate Records earlier this year. The LP came in a short run of just 300 copies and has since sold out, brimming with slow-to-medium paced grunge-punk dirges with a minimal approach and plenty of clangorous guitar jangle. Continue reading “Naomi Punk – The Feeling”
Hailing from Kalamazoo, MI, LEGENDARY WINGS just dropped their debut LP Making Paper Roses on Dirtnap Records. The band sent in a random CD-R of demos to the label and that’s all it took for Dirtnap to add them to their roster. Continue reading “Legendary Wings – Making Paper Roses”
