Soraia take on KISS' 'Strutter,' the latest single off the band's upcoming 10-song LP 'Bloom.' 'Strutter' is the follow-up to the lead single 'I Seek Fire' which is currently making waves at rock radio. The video for that track was directed by Sam Shapson (Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Demi Lovato, Oliver Tree, Thrice, Corey Taylor, All Time Low, MKG, Poppy).

Philadelphia rock band Soraia has shared a release date for 'Bloom,' the act's third studio album with Stevie Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records. Coming off the chart success of the 2021 single 'Tight Lipped' and 2020 breakthrough album 'Dig Your Roots, the deeply personal new album finds the band covering new ground both sonically and lyrically.

Astronoid is Brett Boland (vocals/guitar), Daniel Schwartz (bass), Casey Aylward (guitar), and Matt. St. Jean (drums). The Boston quartet have released two full-length albums and two EPs: November (EP, 2012), Stargazer (EP, 2013), Air (2016) and Astronoid (2019). Listen to the new single now!

Philadelphia rock quartet Soraia will release their new album 'Dig Your Roots' on March 13 via Steven Van Zandt's label Wicked Cool Records.

a??a??a??a??a??a??a??Consider this entry from the 'If at first you don't succeed' department. A young television writer is recruited to write a book for the musical SHINBONE ALLEY. Haven't heard of it? That's not too surprising. It lasted a little over a month and closed on Broadway after 49 performances. Undaunted, he writes the first act for another musical, ALL-AMERICAN five years later. It also flops, closing on Broadway after 80 performances.

Actor's Express continues its 32nd season with the twist-filled thriller Downstairs by Theresa Rebeck.

Soul-searching and full of laughter, Be Here Now is set to hit the Aurora Theatre mainstage from September 20 - October 21. Written by award-winning playwright Deborah Zoe Laufer, the play follows a troubled Bari on her journey to find answers. Adult audiences are in for a funny, sometimes heartbreaking - but always uplifting - experience with this masterpiece!

There's enormous pressure in reviewing the Short North Stage's most recent production, ASSASSINS. Imagine looking out onto the stage where John Wilkes Booth brandishes a pistol at the audience only a few feet away while the balladeer (Patrick Beasley) sings, 'Some say it was your voice had gone, some say it was the booze. Some say you killed a country, John, because of bad reviews' in the song 'The Ballad of Booth.'

Repulsion for Humanity, the second album by none other than Sinsaenum, is going to be released on August 10 on earMUSIC. As the title clearly indicates, this is not for the faint-hearted. It's definitely not something you will hear on the radio or hear your mother hum over dinner. In fact, it's quite the contrary.

Calling all dancing queens and kings! Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus' Mamma Mia!, the smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, is set to run at Aurora Theatre from March 8 - April 22, 2018. Mamma Mia! is one of the most successful musicals of all time, the eighth longest running show in Broadway history and one of only five musicals to have run for more than ten years on Broadway - grossing over $2 billion and bringing smiles to over 54 million worldwide. Aurora Theatre is proudly producing Atlanta's post-Broadway premiere of the feel-good show in the heart of downtown Lawrenceville!

Kristin Markiton blew audiences away last year when she appeared as Francesca in THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY at the Aurora Theatre, which earned her a Suzi Bass Award.
