Brother Ali reunites with Ant for “Satisfied Soul,” bringing back the soulful, truth-telling energy that made them underground legends.
Horsegirl keeps the post-punk dream alive with “Phonetics On and On.”
The Lumineers lean into raw storytelling with “Automatic.”

Philadelphia Folk Festival favorites The War and Treaty continue their reign as one of the most powerful duos in modern Americana with “Plus One.”
Hip-hop heads are in for a treat as Jurassic 5’s Akil The MC makes a triumphant return with “Dress Rehearsal,” proving that golden-era lyricism is alive and well.
