MALLORY HAWK
Mallory Hawk is a Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Before going solo, she cut her teeth playing in bands like Customer and Trace Mountains, an experience she's called her "music bootcamp." In 2026 she released her debut album, "Chinook," a 10-track record cut at Philadelphia's Headroom and Retro City studios and named for the military helicopters of her childhood. The album digs into trauma, a strained relationship with the Christian faith she grew up in, and questions of identity and sexuality, moving between atmospheric quiet and punk-edged intensity.

Subtle Body

Goth/post punk/experimental sounds from Philadelphia. The band's influences draw from ex-Yugo punk such as Paraf, Tožibabe, and Kaos, alongside classic post-punk bands like Rakta, Xmal Deutschland, Siouxie and The Banshees, Neu!, Rudimentary Peni, and Décima Víctima. Their music also incorporates ambient and experimental synthesizer music which serves as contrast and furthering the bands atmospheric vibe.

Souvenir & Gift Center

Souvenir is french for ‘memory’ or ‘remembrance’. An objectified memory. A token of your journey. A gift. Without the emotional attachment from the traveller, the symbolic meaning is lost and cannot be articulated.

Come hang out for Open Sound, free outdoor music performances every Thursday night in September, starting tomorrow - Thursday, Sept. 3! 7pm at the Landing, 30 N. Lansdowne Ave

Sept 3 is:

TheyLoveThem
We are an Anti-Folk Punk band! Our music is straightforward, storytelling-focused, and lyrics-driven.

A Meadow

A Meadow is a band from Philadelphia, PA. Like a long night of drinking with your friend who overshares.

Jason Calhoun

jason calhoun is an ambient and electronic musician living in Delaware County. The hallmark of jason calhoun's music--either under his given name or under the naps alias--is an emotional resonance that allows fragility and perseverance to occupy the same space. Though humble in his approach, calhoun has done something quietly extraordinary in building a body of work that, unlike so much music that seeks to transport you elsewhere, instead asks you to check in with yourself. Some tracks are postcard-like in their brevity and sense of tidings, while others shift the listener into a denser headspace, generously allowing for more sustained reflection.
