 Shwa After releasing his debut album "Just a Thought" two years ago, 25 year old singer/songwriter Shwa has been touring constantly, making a name for himself in the thriving DC, Philadelphia, and London music scenes. The Washington Post said he packed “plenty of rhythmic vitality and melodic appeal,” while Tribe.net recently awarded him Philadelphia’s best local artist. Now armed with "Click Track"—the first E.P. from his self-titled band—Shwa has arrived. The album is a collection of quarter-life crisis anthems, backed with haunting melodies and hooks that stick in your head long after listening to them. With a widespread, highly devoted fan base, newspapers and radio stations have started to take notice of Shwa’s catchy, melodic rock. It’s only a matter of time until he joins the ranks of today’s most well known artists.—www.shwamusic.com

 The Screaming Orphans Leaving their home in Donegal, Ireland, Joan, Angela, Grainne and Marie Therese (the band better known as The Screaming Orphans), has completely taken North America by storm. Their influences are drawn from a wide range of genres from such bands as: Simon and Garfunkel; REM; Elvis Costello; The Ramones and The Bangles. The girls got their big break when asked by Sinead O’Connor to open for her Gospel Oak World Tour! Aside from getting to play the biggest stages in the world, the sisters got much deserved attention from national TV appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and the BBC’s legendary Top of the Pops just to name a few. Once off the road they were presented with the opportunity to record their newest album with acclaimed U2 producer Mike Hedges. Since then, the girls have continued to tour the US and Europe playing a staggering amount of dates and winning over new fans every night. —www.screamingorphans.com
