93.3 WMMR: Everything That Rocks | Local Shots

Local Shots Artist of the Month
5/1/2013 John & Brittany In the less than two years since dropping their debut EP in the summer of 2011, John & Brittany (John Faye and Brittany Rotondo), Philadelphia's most unique songwriting duo, have risen from the city's thriving open mic circuit to become a serious rock act to contend with, already having shared stages ...

4/1/2013 Bong Hits For Jesus Bong Hits for Jesus is an all-out party of rock, punk, funk, reggae, hip-hop, and more blended together into an “undeniably original” and “refreshingly entertaining" rock circus. The band is named after the Supreme Court Free Speech case, and the band stands for freedom of speech, self-expression, and most importantly, ... Read More
2/28/2013 Give Me Gravity Normally, a band begins its musical journey by jamming in basements, playing to empty bars, and begging their friends to come to yet another show at the local venue. Philadelphia’s Give Me Gravity, after only playing together since early 2012, is growing up fast. In just their fourth show, they ... Read More
2/1/2013 Devise From the ashes of two of Philadelphia's most popular hard rock bands "The Element" and "Noosphere" comes DEVISE. Brought together by fate and an undying passion for Rock 'n' Roll. Debut EP produced by MORGAN ROSE (Sevendust/Call Me No One) and Devise, due out early 2013. Stay tuned for lots more ... Read More
12/31/2012 Parachuting Apostles Following in the musical legacy of their hometown, The Parachuting Apostles have spent years proving themselves as one of Philadelphia’s most talented groups. Mixing the technical prog-rock of King Crimson, the balls-out heaviness of Led Zeppelin, and the weirdness of Primus (with everything in between), the 5-piece band has brought ... Read More
12/3/2012 Octane Octane originally formed when five Philadelphia musicians abandoned their own steady gigs for a chance to become part of a band that embodied all that was missing from music. They continuously broke the mold of traditional "rock bands," providing a no-frills, no-nonsense, rock 'n roll sound that was reminiscent of ... Read More
11/1/2012 Soraia // Our story starts on a particularly cold, gray winter evening. Two men stand hovering over the lifeless body of Mansour. One panics while the other holds her - tears streaming from his face dripping onto her pale skin as a needle, which provided a potent shot of cocaine to ... Read More
10/4/2012 Stolen Rhodes // Most bands have an amusing anecdote to tell whenever someone asks them about their name. In the case of Philadelphia quartet Stolen Rhodes, they have two. “We had a Rhodes keyboard that was stolen from our singer earlier in his music career,” explains Kevin Cunningham, the band’s lead ... Read More
9/10/2012 MACH22 With a sound coined as "Zeppelin meets Kravitz", MACH22 is on the rise and the time to follow them is now. The songs are simple enough to be catchy for the average listener yet intricate for those who appreciate excellent musicianship. The band started as the brainchild of Lamont Caldwell ... Read More
8/1/2012 Kid Felix // After forming in May 2011, Kid Felix quickly began to make themselves known within the Philadelphia music scene. They released their first EP the following November called Head Above Water, and with its success they gained international exposure as the Grand Prize regional finalists of the 2012 Hard Rock ... Read More
7/5/2012 Darby Trials That quirky (and stupid) riddle of how the Darby Trials came to be is really just a short and painless explanation of what has actually been a long journey: one filled with ups and downs, stops and starts, detours, delays and distractions. Although Darby Trials is a fresh new group ... Read More
6/1/2012 Last Hour Battle Last Hour Battle, a Philadelphia based Rock band with a progressively pop twist, consists of four friends, Nick McGowan (Vocals, Guitar), Chuck McGee (Guitars), Peter Wetzel (Bass, Vocals) and Josh Lerner (Drums) who combine to create music that is inspiring, true, and filled with raw emotion. With the world ever ... Read More
