In her Spring Garden Records debut, Floyd contextually points to the past by drawing from the life, mission, and sacrifice of Octavius Valentine Catto, an educator, intellectual, and civil rights activist who was martyred on Election Day 1871 in Philadelphia while working for African Americans' voting rights. Floyd's new body of musical works is not just a reflection of Catto's message and actions but a powerful statement that offers a

Enjoy the journey into the realm of house and go "Beyond the Door".

KYL IX drops another gem in "Promise You Won't Change", the Philadelphia artist's second single.

YokoRsh's debut EP "End to the Empire" merges various styles of rock music into an engaging listen filled with political discourse and meaningful lyrics.

Joey Jones (guitar), Tim Patton (bass) and Tyler Green (drums) provide YokoRsh's sonic backbone.

A strong debut from Philly's newest rock outfit.
