MP3, er, Tuesday: B. White
Posted by John Lavanga on Tue, May 21, 2013 at 1:16 PM
Hey all! We got it together a little late yesterday, so MP3 Monday is MP3 Tuesday this week. Either way, this is the thing where we feature the singles from local artists that caught our ear. This week we've got "Tempted," from B. White of The 58's. The song features captivating vocals from Anna Ciaccio and a verse from Mayo. The single is off of B. White's third album The Anomaly, and on May 25th he's going to be celebrating the album's release. Stream or download it below!

MP3 Monday: Idle Drifters
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 2:49 PM
Afternoon, everyone! It's another installment of MP3 Monday, and this week we're featuring a fantastic local band by the name of The Idle Drifters. They've got a straight-forward alt-rock vibe with just a tinge of blues on some of their tracks. Their song, "Emily" leads in with a riff that you can't help but love. This Saturday night, they're releasing their debut EP "Been Made" at the Inn Termission Lounge in the South Side. If that piques your interest, stream or download "Emily" below!

MP3 Monday: The Wave
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 12:33 PM
Happy Monday everyone! Plenty went down this weekend, from Lupe Fiasco playing at CMU's Carnival to Pissed Jeans rocking 6119 Penn Avenue, to the Penguins coming through against the Bruins.
Another big happening this weekend was the release of local hip-hop duo's The Wave's album Seven Days. They've got a laid back style that is nicely suited to this time of year, and their track "Feelin' Famous" makes for great cruising music. Stream or download it below.

MP3 Monday: Stosh Jonjak
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 11:29 AM
Hey everybody, looks like we're staring down the barrel of a week of nice weather, and I for one am absolutely thrilled. Nothing like lounging outside on a sunny day. Also, the Pirates might be good at some point, so maybe a trip to a game is on the horizon.
Anywho, this week's MP3 Monday is Stosh Jonjak, who combines heavy riffs with great story-telling in his track "See You in the Yucatan." Stream or download it below!

MP3 Monday: Steel Clover
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 1:06 PM
Hey yinz! Looks like I spoke a bit too soon about the end of winter. It's cold out there! If you're looking for some inspiration to carry you through the week, MP3 Monday has got your back. This week's artist is Sue Borowski, aka Steel Clover, who has remained positive and determined to continue making her touching Celtic music during her battle with breast cancer. She's been donating a portion of her CD sales to local cancer charities, and performed in this year's St. Patrick's day parade. It's a story that is deeply inspirational and makes you count your blessings. Oh, and her music's pretty good too! You can stream or download her song "Pride of Ireland" below.

MP3 Monday: Grand Piano
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 1:01 PM
It appears that my claims that winter was over were a little bit premature. Still, the two or so days of sun were much appreciated, and maybe the second time's a charge. Either way, we've got "Trainhound," an absolutely fantastic, horn-filled track from Grand Piano this week. Between these guys and Red Western, I'm really looking forward to checking out the entirety of that Split LP they put out recently. Stream or download it below!

MP3 Monday: The Red Western
Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 10:32 AM
Happy Monday, folks. It's finally happened: the chilling winter is behind us. It's endless flurries will soon be replaced by spring's endless drizzle. Rejoice, I think. If rain doesn't really get you excited, maybe this track from good old rock n' roll band Red Western will. They teamed up with next week's featured band Grand Piano for a split LP. Read all about it here, then stream or download the track below!

Posted by John Lavanga on Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 4:39 PM
What's up, everybody? It was a crazy weekend for Pittsburgh, what with the mayor making a big announcement about re-election and strangely awesome minimalist Arnold Dreyblatt coming to town on Saturday. As always, we'll try to keep you up to date on all the latest happenings with our blogs. Enough about us, though. It's time for MP3 Monday.
This week's artist is local indie electronic musician Good Jeans, who blends his voice with synth and beats for some unexpected results. Stream or Download it below!
