Philadelphia-based rockers Soraia recently dropped their cover of Blondie classic “Union City Blue.”  And we’re proud to premiere the official music video for the ZouZou Mansour-led garage rockers’ take on the legendary power pop track.  The clip was shot by local videographer Tom Quigley at Boom Room in Fishtown,...

This weekend, self-proclaimed Feminist Pop Princess Morgan St. Jean will kick off the “This Is For Life” North America Tour, her first-ever headlining trek.  The five-date East Coast jaunt comes in support of the LA-based singer/songwriter’s My Mind And I EP (which dropped this April) and includes a stop...
