Wax Mekanix Continues Upon A Musical Mission of Exploration & Evolution
While reading, check out Wax’s latest single, “Shrew’s Fiddle”
Wax Mekanix has been around the block.
He’s played across the musical spectrum, genre to genre, from metal to country, to pop and yacht rock. He’s a man on a mission of exploration. His new album, Mobocracy is an explosion of hard rockin’ n’ rollin’ made possible by a lifetime’s worth of a musical madness and creative indulgence.
As I’ve said before, my musical palate is rarely in search of the more hardcore genres of rock. I never had an elongated metal or punk stage in middle school like many of my peers, so I tend to listen to these artists when I’m at the gym, and surprise surprise, I turned on Mobocracy to get a taste and next thing you know I’m into the remix portion of the album and humming the choruses I picked up in the first run. Only reason I’m not singing is because I’m in public.
So yes, if you’re not a hardcore rock n’ roll fan, throw this on next time you need a little energy boost. And if you are a big fan of metal, punk, emo, hardcore, etc. you’ve probably got a new artist to enjoy on the reg.
The album was released under Electric Talon records.
But this is a musical exploration… so the evolution continues.
Now, for something totally different:
And finally, my favorite song from the Wax collection:
Volume 3 is longer than its predecessor and every song is bringing the heat to the stale radio of Philadelphia… besides WXPN.
Live Music. Beautiful Art. Black History Celebration. Important Discussion. Free Pepper Pot Stew! Feb. 24th @ Ultra Silk Gallery! Don’t miss it!
Truly awesome rock/punk/hardcore/goth/emo/metal r&b debut from SANTRISTÁN
Suzanne Sheer gives sultry an edge in songs like “Feel Nothing” and “Down For You”
Check out the latest and greatest from Wax Mekanix as he rocks his way through different subgenres of rock n’ roll.
Cinematic Jazz by Max Swan on his new album, Slow Jail
In his 80s, the MoTown legend clearly still has plenty in the tank. Not just musically but in a few other areas too.
Volume 2 is longer than its predecessor and every song is bringing the heat to the stale radio of Philadelphia… besides WXPN.
Today begins the movement to get these songs on radio stations beyond XPN … (love you, XPN).
Minimalist music that prompts a foot tap or a head sway, gets your cheery folk from Jackson Pines.
New singles from Al Zamora, Black Buttafly, Tommy Love & Chioke, and Nick Lombardo & The Decent Ok… all very very sexy (musically speaking)
Tuck Ryan is smooth as a goose and a great act to catch live.
A new spectacle of a video from The Bul Bey for “What It Look Like” off his 2022 album, I Don’t Have Time To Doubt Myself.
An incredible evening of music at one of the coolest art galleries in Philadelphia. Jonill closed the night out, leaving a few jaws on the floor, after Sophie Coran and Tim Stout played games with the audience’s heartstrings.
There are a few Tiny Desk-esque shows in the area but LIVE @ REC definitely stands out with HQ production and some standout artist performances.
Ali Awan has created a name for himself in the Philly rock community, and his new EP Moon Mode further builds upon his unique style by combining blazing harmonicas with hazy synths.
A hard trip into rock n’ roll. Lucid and exciting, meet The Polychromatics.
The magic of music, the madness of the world, and everything else that tugs the heartstrings.
Coffee & Wordplay. The Birds & Beers. Hoops & Musings.
West Philly’s home. Temple grad. Delco grown.
Bet you a dollar you forgot about our #1 Lil Wayne Mixtape Song
