Philadelphia is one of the busiest musical hubs in the United States right now. From One Trick Pony to Alltheflowers to Kicker, here are 11 artists from the city’s underground that you should have on your radar.
As a devoted house show enjoyer, I find all of these bands to be a very crucial piece of my heart and tremendously under-exposed outside of the East-Coast pocket. The Philadelphia DIY scene is enveloping and hypnotic, exploding with basement shows that date farther back than the early days of beloved pop-punk bands like Modern Baseball, Mannequin Pussy and Algernon Cadwallader.
We’ve been raised upon cold, unfinished cement that grows warm beneath crowd bodies, and we look up to the bands and singers who have broken out beyond the city. Pill Friends, Blue Smiley and Cyberbully Mom Club are old friends of the DIY scene. Philadelphia is an opulent hub for music—and there’s a never-ending crew of hardworking artists here, as the scene continues to evolve and multiply.
Alltheflowers is the passion project of Riley Hall and Patrick Sinisgalli, whose vocals blend together to create true magic. Their sound is difficult to compare to anything else, while still grazing borders of the indie genre on their debut album, which they released in November 2022. Hall sings lead on most tracks, beating into our hearts with her feathery vocals and impassioned lyricism.
All over the place with eclectic and spirited emo music, Blood Moon Ball was originally the solo project of Jason Hankins. The singer/songwriter has been self-producing music since 2016, and his latest release is an off-beat alternative album calledfrom 2022. Hankins’ music is bewildering and sparkling, highlighted by a vibrant stage presence. Hankins loves to jump around and shout until he goes blue, which loosens and ignites each crowd.
Pulling influences from Pavement, Built To Spill and Slow Hollows, Kicker’s alternative sound has accumulated into their newly debuted album, which they recorded at Hidden Fortress in Brewerytown. Their work is powerful with quick, punchy melodies and candid vocals from lead singer Ben Wosczyna. Playing their first show in May 2021 at a basement venue in North Philadelphia, The Mansion, the band has since played an eight-stop tour this past month.
