If you like this track, download their “Visions of Tall Girl” EP for FREE on their Band Camp as well.

For those unfamiliar with Ben Franklin, “Urgency” is their second release since their “Optimist” album, and thankfully they have only improved since adding second guitarist Adam Copeland. “Urgency” is a vinyl with one song on the A side and one on the B. The A-side has the title track “Urgency,” which is a fast tempo song with some sexy bass and awesome guitar work. “No Pleasin’ You,” on the B-side, shows a slightly softer side to this band with some of the most dulcet vocal harmonies and melodies.

If you get the vinyl, you also get a download card to download the two tracks on the vinyl as well as two bonus tracks “Smile” and “Teamwork,” which just makes the package all the sweeter. The vinyl is available to buy through the Killing Horse Records Big Cartel for $5.00 + shipping.

For those living solely in the digital age the release is also available through the band’s Band Camp for download and, for a limited time only, you can stream and download “Urgency” and “Optimist” completely FREE!

For all you audiophiles, I do not have to tell you that the vinyl is the one to get, but if you are running low on cash or just do not care about the quality, the download will completely suffice.

Mad Feather Group is an eclectic four-piece band from Jackson, NJ that mashes together many influences to create their unique mellow, adult contemporary, funky kind of sound. “She Mouths The Psalm” is a smooth piece combining horn instrumentation with a kind of jazzy, funk rock style to create something that you can groove to your loved one with. The video, directed by Anthony Yerba, stars group lead singer David Colon on probably the most awkward date ever. The silences are awkward, eye contact avoided at all costs, and cars break down. But does it work out for him in the end? Watch the video and find out!

Escape Directors is a 4-piece alternative rock band that has gained a lot of press and fans around the New Jersey and New York areas. Now they released a music video for their song “Wolf At The Door,” an eerie song involving ghastly vocals and haunting electric instrumentation in the background. The video for the song has a cool black and white paper look to it. The music video follows the events of one man encountering horrifying instances with the supernatural, sea creatures, and all sorts of the other things. The video is a cool idea that is definitely worth a few views so check it out!

The mission of this project is to expand on the band’s “Extended Family,” a large group of artists that help the band with recordings and live shows by using their varied musical abilities. Each new member of the extended family will be added to the chorus of a brand new song, which is to be released along with their upcoming album, “The Village.”

“Join The Family” has already kicked off but there is plenty of time to join.

If you need any more information about joining this amazing project, e-mail the band at info@thefamilycrestfamily.com.

Their new single “I am the Fire” does not help to nail down their genre ever. The song starts of with a chaotic intro that eventually transforms into a smooth guitar part soon joined by the even smoother vocals of lead singer Ken De Poto. Topping of the sundae is the forceful drums present throughout the song and the somber lyrics that use a great sense of imagery.

“I am the Fire” is available for download off the band’s Band Camp name-your-own-price, along with their “1977″ album for $5.

Headliners Waking Lights is a band that has certainly been waking everybody’s ears to their unique combination of pop rock guitars and soaring string instruments. With a few releases, a music video, and some awesome shows under their belts, they are ready to play till their strings break.

Speaking of a band on the up-and-coming, Brick + Mortar is a band that has become more than well-known on the local scene. Unique blends electronic and psychedelic music, make this a band you will want to see before they make it big.

Coming across the river is recently formed band Jump Into The Gospel and let’s hope that there is enough room for their catchy, electronic melodies in their car!

If you are interested in coming to the show (and why would you not be), tickets are available for a meager $8.00 advanced at Ticket Fly and $10 at the door. The first 70 people who buy tickets will receive a uniquely pressed copy of the show poster, which will be picked up at the show!

Doors are at 8:00 pm and the show kicks of at 9:00 pm! RSVP at the Facebook event page HERE!

These two tracks, “These Cheers” and “Messenger’s Delight,” were produced at The Alamo in New Brunswick, NJ by Captive‘s own Matt Weiss and released a few months ago on the group’s Band Camp with plans to be part of an upcoming Kick Starter project. The tracks are wholly instrumental and bring the kind of face-smashing-into-a-brick-wall (in a good way) style of music Holy City Zoo has been known for around New Brunswick and the rest of New Jersey.

You can download the tracks now at Holy City Zoo’s Band Camp for free or donation along with their single and (EP). Pick them up today and throw a few bucks into their hungry wallets if you have a little extra lying around!
