Todd P. Party @ Silent Barn






the Death Set

The Death Set is pretty much guaranteed to steal the show with their mega-amped electro-punk – every time I’ve seen them the crowd just completely spazzes out along with the band. The tiny basement was so hot and sweaty that I had to keep cleaning the steam and beer off my camera. Amazing Fun.










Team Robespierre

Before the inevitable destruction of the stage itself, Team Robespierre rolled to another victory with their shout along party-punk. The crowd was especially fired up for their set, screaming, dancing and crowd surfing along.








Juiceboxxx

Juiceboxx set the bar pretty high for the evening at Todd P's Silent Barn jam with an explosive set of shout-along Electro-Hop that sent the crowd into a frenzy. It must have been way over 100 degrees in the room - in October!

Deli Magazine @ the Delancey




the Head Set

NYC’s Head Set was one of the first bands I posted about and FWYB and they’re still rolling, sounding better than ever. The house was packed with curios festival goers and they didn't disappoint. Still a band to watch.








Voxtrot

I like to start off these multi-day, mutli-venue festivals with a sure thing so I don't lose momentum, and a free show by Voxtrot in an intimate venue like Fontana’s is about as close to a sure thing as you can get. This band’s been hyped a lot over the past couple of years but the fact remains, they're excellent performers with unusually strong songwriting. Hopefully even bigger things are ahead for these guys.

The main room at Glasslands felt as if someone hit a hidden "Fun" switch from the moment hometown Team Robespierre hit the stage. The sweaty, booze fueled crowd quickly turned into a sea of hands & feet dancing, diving & surfing along with the band through an infectious set of Brooklyn punk that easily lived up to the band's growing buzz.

This month for my favorite FWYB post - "What's Good", I'm focusing on bands in & around my home town New York, NY.

Here's the deal - at the beginning of each month I sort through all the CDs & emails that get sent to FiddleWhileYouBurn (and yes, I listen to everything) and put together this list of new sounds from artists all over that we haven't featured yet on the site but we think are worth checking out. Of course I can't post everything at once, but here's a bunch I though you might enjoy (below in no particular order).

Post a note in the comments section or send an email if you have any recommendations for next month.
