8:20 IKE (PHILADELPHIA, PA)
Combining radio-ready hooks with straight-for-the-carotid lyrics,

Costello for the Emo
generation...

that can fill a stadium. Songs that shout from the soul with

and a heavy dose of
anabolic steroids.

11:40 MELODROME (BOSTON, MA)
Melodrome delivers contemporary rock music with a slight retro
edge. Think U2 meets Beck then hangs out with The Stones. Simple,
pulsing drums, smooth, tight bass lines, haunting guitars and a
hypnotic vocal sound combine to make a sound so deep it will
change your DNA.
