"City Rain is Ben Runyan and Jarrett Zerrer, an electro-pop duo from Philadelphia. Taking their cues from artists as diverse as La Roux, Above & Beyond, Nitrous Oxide, and Depeche Mode, City Rain have created a unique an accessible form of music combining dancefloor beats, soulful vocals, keyboard riffs, and fuzzy, hooky guitar licks. Equal parts space-rock and acid-laced ear candy, the band sits in that comfortable zone between art-rock and liquid electro jams.
With the 2011 release of their video for the single I’m Gone and accompanying EP, City Rain has received nationwide attention from the blogosphere and conventional media alike, recording a broadcast for Philadelphia’s WXPN 88.5 FM, while continuing to remix and release new material of their own and other artists. Now with plans for a national tour in 2012, City Rain is poised to bring their music to an even wider audience."

Cold Fronts are a four car garage rock band from the west side of Philadelphia, PA. They're all about the basics: guitars, vocals, drums, bass. The effects are turned off and the outcome is raw, personable, and delicious.

In less than a year the band has toured with mewithoutYou and The Gay Blades, performed sold out shows at the Mercury Lounge, and played a dozen shows at SXSW and CMJ.
