Today's the day! Based in Philadelphia, The Kalob Griffin Band will be gracing the stage of Johnny Brenda's with their American rock and soulful sounds on Friday October 4th for their first big fall show.

This past week, Nevada Mountains, a Pittsburgh indie-rock band with a dance-punk edge, opened up for the post-punk and shoe-gazing band from San Fran, Weekend. The bands brought a crowd of dancing fans to Brillobox, a quaint venue located in the hip neighborhood just east of downtown Pittsburgh, Lawrenceville. Before the show, the down-to-earth dudes of Nevada sat down and shared their history and upcoming plans for fans for the coming autumn months.

Bear's Den just wrapped up touring with the biggest name in folk music these days, Mumford and Sons. These three British folk rock stars, Andrew Davie, Kev Jones and Joey Haynes, are now on route to tour the United States once again alongside Daughter, an English indie rock band from London.

One warm night I was walking around the East village of NYC, i stumbled up the DROM music venue. I read their nights itinerary and it read "a night with Bobby Valentino". Me being in love with music and what it once was, I was intrigued. I went in a bit anxious, and I had a seat by the bar. Other patrons sitting at the bar were waiting patiently. I ordered a drink and sat like I was getting ready to take a time machine ride back to the past.

We used to listen to the greats... Wu-tang, Dogg pound, Tupac, Redman, and many others. The music in my era was golden and a lot of it possessed a message. Even when it was gangsta rap they spoke of why they were doing what they were doing and spoke a lot about the consequences. Now in music there is billions of dollars worth of drug sales, a whole lot of murder with non arrests, no persecution or very minimal penalties. But aside from all that, the music is small and has seemingly no substance.

The newest single release from Ferry Corsten "Many Ways" has shown that the electronic producer can show versatility in his work. The uplifting single showcases vocals from Jenny Wahlstrom, a singer from Sweden.

Duke Dumont is ending 2013 with a bang by celebrating his first Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording with "Need U 100%".

This past fall was huge for the quartet, Audacity.

The group, who has been together for over nine years and since freshman year of high school, released a few singles off their new album 'Butter Knife', which was released in late October, and they went out on the road alongside Mean Jeans for their North American tour, hitting the east and west coasts, and everywhere in between.

Come 2014, ASTR will be releasing their EP titled 'Varsity' via Neon Gold Records. The duo, based out of New York City, consists of Zoe Anna and A.D.A.M.
