It’s been a well-known fact that Philadelphia has been a musical hotbed for the past few years. The Wonder Years, Modern Baseball, Hop Along, The Menzingers, Nothing, and Beach Slang are just some of the names to breakout Pennsylvanian city.<\/p>\n

With a rich musical heritage, Philadelphia continues to produce promising new bands with melodic indie rockers Clique<\/b> being one of the latest acts from the area to be on the rise. Their latest album, ‘Burden Piece’<\/i> is a gratifying collection of emotive songs that dwell on the confused, introspective self-doubts of young adulthood.<\/p>\n

For this “Playlist” feature, we asked Clique<\/b> to put together a selection of emerging acts from the Philadelphia area. Read on to see who singer\/guitarist PJ Carroll suggested…<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, there are tons of clubs and houses that have shows all the time. House shows don’t really get busted. We were lucky to play Golden Tea House a bunch of times before it shut down. Everybody Hits (Batting Cages by day \/ DIY show space by night) kinda picked up where they left off. The owner David is the man for having gigs at his business all the time. It’s rad. Anyway I’m sorta rambling here. There are all kinds of cool bands and smaller labels (shout out to Ranch Records). Bands always have the opportunity to make good recordings on a budget because there are a few schools with good recording programs. Philadelphia is pretty great for being in a band.<\/p>\n

Mumblr – Sober<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all been seeing\/playing with Mumblr<\/b> for years and they\u2019ve become some of our best friends. They fuckin rock. This jam is off of their first full-length \u2018Full of Snakes\u2019<\/i>. Check out their new album \u2018The Never Ending Get Down\u2019<\/i> when it comes out too. <\/p>\n

Full Of Snakes by Mumblr<\/a><\/p>\n

Loose Tooth – Skinny Chewy<\/h2>\n

We toured with Loose Tooth<\/b> for 10 days last year and it was an awesome time. I also recorded and mixed the album that this song is found on. It\u2019s a real rocker. Look out for their new LP that should be coming out relatively soon.<\/p>\n

The Spirit of the Beehive – Natural Devotion<\/h2>\n

I heard Spirit practicing from outside the little 10×10 practice space at Big Mama\u2019s Warehouse about a month ago and it sounded like a fully produced album. I don\u2019t think you can be a much better band than this. We\u2019ve had the pleasure of playing with them a few times and they always blow my mind. Their new LP comes out on Jade Tree Records sometime later this year. <\/p>\n

You Are Arrived (But You’ve Been Cheated) by SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Soul Glo – New Humanism<\/h2>\n

The combination of Ruben\u2019s guitar parts and Pierce\u2019s vocals makes this shit rip. I\u2019d definitely recommend reading their lyrics while listening. It\u2019s really thematically heavy and deals a lot with systematic racism that African-Americans face in the US. <\/p>\n

“ ” by SOUL GLO<\/a><\/p>\n

Gunk – Forms of Torture<\/h2>\n

I hazily remember drinking beer and sitting down with my housemates and Gunk<\/b> to listen to this record in Sam\u2019s room at Ranch House. They decided to release it online later that night after making artwork right then. When I checked it out again in a more lucid state I was blown away. This record is fantastic front to back. This is my favorite song on the record. I think it is PJ\u2019s too. It\u2019s a real bummer.<\/p>\n

Gunk by GUNK<\/a><\/p>\n

Sun Organ – Ass Kickin’ Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll<\/h2>\n

Sun Organ<\/b> is Tim Jordan from The Spirit of the Beehive<\/b>’s solo project. He recorded this first album by himself in his room and I ended up mixing it in my room. I remember when I first showed it to Brandon and he was super into it. Every song is great. Definitely been bumped in the van a bunch of times. Our friend Craig Scheihing that made the video for this song also took the photo on the cover of our new record. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Shannen Moser – Horse Heaven<\/h2>\n

Shannen<\/b> is an excellent songwriter and singer. I love the short song vibe. Who would\u2019ve thought? She\u2019s performed some backing vocals on both of our records and is a close friend. <\/p>\n

you shouldnt be doing that by Shannen Moser<\/a><\/p>\n

Congenital Death – (Om (All Good Things)<\/h2>\n

Just saw Connie D play a bunch of their new songs at the Ranch Records Big Gig. They blew my mind. So intense. So loud. Yup. It rips. Groove Grind forever.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Doubles – 740 Turbo<\/h2>\n

We went on a little weekend tour with Doubles in April and it was a lot of fun. We all jammed out pretty hard on this song. It\u2019ll get stuck in your head.<\/p>\n

Mint by Doubles<\/a><\/p>\n

Kids – Congested<\/h2>\n

Kids<\/b> fuckin shreds. Bear is one of our best friends. Party on. <\/p>\n

HENLEY by KIDS<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

‘Burden Piece’<\/em> by CLIQUE<\/strong> is released on May 27th on Topshelf Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
