+Ghost of Past Mistakes: viscerally cerebral power trio fronted by bassist Rich Meyer (Hopewell) who are working on a debut album about which they are justifiably cagey. They will play songs from it and you will like them very much. 

+Poppy: alternative rock trio first formed in the early 1990s with members of 80s Philly punk scene favorites The Electric Love Muffin (Brian Campbell) and Scram! (Craig Heim) and led by Kate Campbell on vocals and guitar. Poppy released a number of albums, EPs and singles in the 90s and early 2000s and after a lengthy hiatus are back and sounding better than ever

+The James Rocket: Always all out of bubblegum. Underground under duress. Agit-Pop for the New Dystopia. Smartass punk.
