Sounds From The Superhighway 9

Audible - Take roommates, write a few songs, add a guitarist, and then merge with members of another band and you have the story of Philadelphia's Audible. Mike Kennedy and Mary Garito started playing together around 2000. Later, second guitarist Jim Kehoe was added. Finally, the trio merge with members of matt pond PA and, in 2004, added drummer Steve Cawley, the final piece and Audible was complete. Their debut full-length CD, Sky Signal, will be released on Polyvinyl Records this month. If you are in the Philadelphia area, check out the record release party on January 29th.

Oneida - With an EP (Nice./Splittin Peaches) currently making waves and a full length release, The Wedding, (on Ace Fu Records) coming in May, 2005, Oneida have kept themselves very busy. In between, they are playing several west coast dates. According to the band's website, when The Wedding is released, "that’s when the walls come down, the masks come off, and you all realize that all along Oneida’s been playing you." Hey, how can one not a love a band whose website is www.enemyhogs.com.

Silver Sunshine - With a sound that takes you back to the 60's, Silver Sunshine are ready to take on the world. How cliche, yet very true in this case. Nominated for Best Pop Group at the San Diego Music Awards 2004, Silver Sunshine are poised for bigger things. Their self-titled debut on Empyrean Records is just a start.
