All Philly bands, two reissues, one current band, nothing to sleep on.
1. Scary Monster was a Philly band with some serious indie-pop chops (plus some essential twee DNA from The Snowfairies and The Skywriters). Makeout Party at Werewolf Club was just reissued, with bonus tracks, by Jigsaw Records. (Also check out "Phoebe Summersquash," their tribute to the Small Factory/Godrays super-drummer.)
2. Know what? Let's listen to some Skywriters, now. Also just reissued by Jigsaw. Here's Skywriter Blue.
3. And now here's some Radiator Hospital, also from Philly, also catchy, but these kids are actively making music so you can appreciate them actively, at shows and stuff.
