“Keep Your Eyes Ahead” by The Helio Sequence
The Helio Sequence’s 2008 release, Keep Your Eyes Ahead, is easily one of my favorite CDs of all-time. It was in particularly heavy rotation back when I was a junior in high school, as it seemed to have a song to suit my every mood. For some reason (most likely due to the moody weather outside), I rediscovered this gem of a band today. I cannot wait for this dynamic duo to release some new material and go on tour. Until then, I will continue jamming to gems like “Keep Your Eyes Ahead” above.

“Heaven’s on Fire” by The Radio Dept.
CANCELED - Playing at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, PA on Monday, November 21
I was very saddened to find out this morning that The Radio Dept. had canceled their US tour this fall, citing family matters. With this news though, I am even more drawn to the band’s catchy tunes. ”Heaven’s on Fire”, which you can hear above, has been playing in my head all day!

“Shake Me Down” by Cage the Elephant
Playing at POPPED! Music Festival in Philadelphia, PA (now at the Liacouras Center) on Friday, September 24, 2011
One thing I love about music festivals is the number of great bands that you are bound to discover. I noticed that Cage the Elephant would be headlining Day 1 of POPPED! and was inspired to check out the band’s tunes. They are amazing, as evidenced by the tune from their newest CD release, Thank You, Happy Birthday. Turns out they are the creators of the ever so popular “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked”, which was everywhere on the radio in ‘09. I’m expect an incredible performance from this band tonight!
