LISTEN: The Incredible Philly Indie Rock 2016 Summer Mixtape

Here is an anecdotal read on the temperature of Philly's indie scene right now: In previous summers, we've put out posts asking the local music diaspora for their designated summer jams. And while we still want those (send them to us, local bands!), this year, we were able to get what is really a fine top-down, shore-ride mixtape of locally produced fresh summer jams right off of Soundcloud, no waiting. Ain't life grand? Please enjoy this one at your BBQ, in the headphones pool- or beachside, or even just sweating it out in the bikelane or Penn Treaty Park. See you back here on Tuesday. Happy Memorial Day, Philly!
