THE LOOKS OF IT The Looks of It is: Joseph Primavera, Claire Abribat, Kira Abribat, Joshua Machiz, Josh Olmstead, Tyler Case, Alex Maio and Darren Mantyla. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthelooksofit.bandcamp.com%2F&h=2cb02 SATELLITE HEARTS Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Satellite Hearts are a three piece band that combine both the raw, unpolished, and unapologetic sound of today, with the soul of true classic rock. Featuring Parker Pellecchia on guitar, vocals, and harmonica, Lucas Rinz on bass and vocals, and Keaton Thandi on drums, percussion, and vocals; they create a sound that mixes the best of classic and alternative rock and roll, with elements of soul, funk, and R&B that give them a unique and explosive resonance that is hard to find in today’s music scene. In short: if you are a lover of rock and roll, or you’re simply looking for a good beat, strong lyrics or just a good time, then take a listen to Satellite Hearts and take a trip to sonic euphoria. http://www.facebook.com/satellitehearts VILEBRED “I’m gonna grab me a clown, put its head into the ground, cause it’s habit.” Yes, that’s right, Vilebred has no problems picking a fight with a clown. The Philadelphia-based band of singer/guitar player Sam Vile, Will and Paul Donahue on drums and bass and lead-guitar player Jared Pennington, formed in 2006. But the childhood friends began creating music together more than a decade ago, first meeting in church as wee tots. And if you think Sam Vile sounds familiar, you’re on to something. Sam’s older brother, Kurt Vile, recently signed to Matador Records. Although the brothers write songs in the same vein, each has created his own sound. “Kamikaze Blues,” Vilebred’s first album, recently released last yearon Kind of Colombian Records, hints musically of Radiohead with the playfulness of Cake -- if Cake wrote songs like Jay Reatard. Stand out tracks include “Kamikaze Blues,” where Vilebred invites you to grab that clown and put its head into the ground; “Lust,” a song that combines woeful strings with triumphant guitars; and “Walking Nothing,” featuring backing vocals from Philadelphia’s the Sisters 3. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vilebred/131361992414 SEAN LEE Good, straightforward songwriting won't die when Wilco retires. ---- Amiestreet.com Vague echoes from the Beatles but with a sound all of their own... ---- The Delicate Art of Noise Pollution Podcast The record has a real nice feel to it, well recorded, mature and genuine. ---- Biff Kennedy (Charterhouse Music) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sean-Lee/7595922115
