Episode 133: Phantasm [Alt Rock] (Philadelphia)

This week’s episode features Steve and Jay of the Philadelphia based band, Phantasm. They are an alternative-rock band producing intricate, melodic songs in avant-garde stylings, reminiscent of Muse, Royal Blood, Tool, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their latest single Spirit Box (Tuned To You) went live on June 10 of this year on all major streaming platforms. They say the song was inspired by real life experiences using a spirit box to connect with the metaphysical in this dimension and the world beyond. So we talked all about that on this episode. As well as their music videos. In particular we had a few laughs regarding their video for “Lock & Key.” All the band links will be in the episode description below. As always thanks for listening and supporting local music.
