Chelsea Mitchell, The Bailey Hound, and The Lawsuits release new singles

So much excitement is brewing around Philadelphia's burgeoning music scene. It seems the theme this summer is album releases.  Pretty much every Philly band that has been covered here on Root Down In The Shadow has a release dropping this spring, summer, or fall. 

To kick off the coverage of these new albums, here's three hot new singles that have caught my attention in the last two weeks.

RELEASED 4/30/2013
"Married In The Aviary" 
CHELSEA MITCHELL
*
This new single, 'Married In The Aviary' is the first tease from the Married In The Aviary EP.  Set to release is 6/4/13 Chelsea Mitchell tackles her most complex release to date.  This evocative track will make even the least romantic person you know take a dreamy walk through the garden in their mind as the song plays.

Enjoy Chelsea Mitchell and her cast of musicians as you count the days until her release show at World Cafe Live June 7th with the Lawsuits and August John Lutz II of Levee Drivers!

THE BAILEY HOUNDS
*

Also giving an early look towards their upcoming album, The Bailey Hounds released "Hell Ain't Forever" from their upcoming six-song album entitled All the Blood in the World (set to be released on May 28th). "Murder, decadence, misanthropy, and abjection seem to be overarching themes upon first listen...so, it's a real pick-me-up."

RELEASED 4/16/2013
"Onion"
THE LAWSUITS
Head over to the My Morning Download @WXPN's the Key for a listen to the new track 'Onion'.  On of the earliest tracks going towards Cool Cool Cool, Brian Dale Allen Strouse and company have penned yet another diamond that Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, the Sheepdogs, Joshua James) of Waking Studios shined.  Every time I listen to the track, I find another layer of 'Onion' to discover.  

To get your hands on 'Onion' and two others from Cool Cool Cool find the Lawsuits at one of their upcoming shows to pick up a three track EP teaser.

New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know .  Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud...

Bands Pick The Bands - 2016 XPoNential Music Festival Presented by Subaru - Artists Preview

Wooo Hooooo It's XPoNential Fest Time!!!!  Every year WXPN brings a ton of great bands and artists to the Wiggins Park shore in Camden, NJ.  With so many bands on the line-up it's daunting to figure out which bands to see.  Fortunately, the way WXPN does the line-ups you CAN make it to every band should you choose.  However, we all know it's going to be hot as hell.  Not quite as hot as 2011 with the 100 degree days, but still super hot.   Luckily for us, some of the festival performers have put in their two cents for which bands they are excited about. Rosemary Fiki   starts the fest at 4pm today on the JerseyArts.Com Marina Stage. Let's see what she's recommending: Band Most Excited to Share the Festival Stage with : This is our first time time performing at XPoNential so to be completely honest, I'm super stoked to share the Festival stage with everyone! If I absolutely had to choose, I would say The Districts. We actually share...

New Chris Kasper single - City By the Sea

Here's a wonderfully bluesy tease to the upcoming Chris Kasper album.   New single "City By The Sea", is just enough to keep fans from getting restless, while he tours with Carsie Blanton along the West Coast.  Hopefully there will be some local dates soon, as 2017 seems so far off right now.
