We featured new songs from Nobody's Heroes, Lovebettie, Jack Servello, Red Paint, The Cliff Legend, Almost Howe and Next To None.

A member of The Clarks is chipping in to help out his hometown during a time of need. After heavy rains flooded Connellsville in southwestern PA on Aug. 28, Clarks lead singer and guitarist Scott Blasey - a Connellsville native - quickly moved to help out his hometown and its residents, providing supplies and a personal cash donation, and coordinating a collection effort with his fan base to donate to special Paypal account. Blasey is coordinating with a local Connellsville business, the Health Insurance Company, who will match dollar-for-dollar any donations up to $5,000 that are received by September 6.
