The Witzard

The Menzingers (SOURCE: Philadelphia Eagles) By now, we all know that The Eagles (GO, BIRDS!!!) lost Super Bowl LVII last month to The Chiefs, but they tried their best and that's all that really matters. Just this past weekend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and younger brother of Eagles center hosted SNL with musical guest Kelsea Ballerini. Today, revered Pennsylvania Punk Rock bruisers The Menzingers share an upbeat new single, "Bad Actors." Chosen by The Philadelphia Eagles as part of the official Eagles Gameday Series Soundtrack, the song was played in stadium and was, also, featured on the team's social media pages leading up to The Super Bowl, further cementing the band's hometown roots. Featuring bright guitars, melodic riffs, and uplifting lyrics, the track was written during sessions for the band's sixth studio album, Hello Exile (2019.)

Worlds by Brackish Brackish is an unabashedly Punk/Hardcore band originally hailing from Trenton, NJ and currently based out of Philly . Championed by Darko The Super , Lt.
