With air-tight harmonies that feel like a strange but beautiful cross between Fleet Foxes and The Grateful Dead, this Philly trio truly is deserving of the national recognition they’ve been getting recently. Just before the release of their self-titled sophomore album, Good Old War stopped by WKDU to play a handful of songs off their first album, Only Way To Be Alone.

Local punk favorites The Menzingers were kind enough to stop in a few years ago before their show at First Unitarian Church and play a an incredible in-studio set for us. Combining their stellar musicianship and infectious songwriting, the Menzingers in-studio is a fantastic showcase for one of the best bands in the area.

Listening to this session, it is easy to see how The Holy Mess have established themselves as one of the finest (not to mention funnest) bands in Philly over the last couple years. When they came down to the station in late 2010, they played through the entire (then-recently released) Benefit Sesh EP, plus a couple other tunes.
