Clock Strikes Thirteen

Late 1990’s Philly Pop band started as a solo recording project by vocalist and guitarist Benjamin Xavier Kim, changing into a band with different members over the years including Tara Burke (Fursaxa, Special Guests, Un, Anahita, Sepviva Bells, Tau Emerald, The Valerie Project), Meg Baird (Espers, Fern Knight, Heron Oblivion, Slumber, The Baird Sisters, Trollslända, Watery Love) and Dave “Bass” Brown (Negative FX, Drug Emporium, Lyres, Sandoz Lime, The Grovellers, The Oysters, The Young Snakes), Angela DiFabio, Cara De La Cruz, David Bohl, Sam Weng and Steven Heise (WASNT WISNT)

“Drive-In Records first captured Thirteen’s sound of pensive, melodic indie through two 1997 singles. Resulting in several critical comparisons to Northern Soul and Orchids, the Kim and company would follow with the 1999 ep When We Were Together. Their first full-length Ever Decreasing Circles resulted a year later through Drive-In and Liquefaction Empire.” – From LastFM

Boneheads – BunnyDrums

Boneheads

The Boneheads, who were part of the 70’s Philadelphia punk/new wave scene, along with the Sic Kidz, Stickmen, Warm Jets, Autistics, King of Siam, Pure Hell, and others. They played regularly at the Hot Club in Philly, and New York; including CBGBs, Max’s Kansas City and Tier 3. They opened shows for Richard Hell and the Voidoids, B-52’s, Wreckless Eric, The Lurkers, Mission of Burma, Nico, The Feelies, Madness, Necessaries (Chris Spedding), and others. In the summer of 1979, the band entered Starr Recording Studio in Philadelphia, and recorded 4 songs; ‘New Jersey‘, ‘Surfing UFO‘, ‘Adam & Eve‘ and ‘Yesterday‘. Unfortunately, the masters were lost and the tracks never released. Luckily, a cassette of the original recordings was recently discovered. The Boneheads disbanded shortly after morphing into the prolific Philly band, Bunnydrums.

Single 1978-79

Bunnydrums

Bunnydrums was a highly innovative and influential band that pushed the boundaries of post-punk music. Their unique sound, experimental approach, and introspective lyrics set them apart from their contemporaries. While they may not have achieved mainstream success during their active years, their impact on the alternative music scene cannot be overlooked. Bunnydrums’ legacy lives on through their groundbreaking music and the influence they had on future generations of musicians. To Reptile is a Live 1984 from Unitas Wageningen, Netherlands LP

Zonic Shockum

Late 80’s, 90s Philly band (although still around today as a duo). They have 2 full length LP’s and a compilation of their singles (links below) on apple music. I’ve included the rest of the songs from the singles, youtube version of the first cassette release and a live reunion show from the Khyber in 2004.

History of the band from Wikipedia
In 1988, Stephen P. Anderson, under the moniker of Zonic Shockum, recorded a 17-song cassette titled Pleasure which received distribution through Sound Choice mail-order catalog and Tower Records in Philadelphia and garnered a positive review in the German music magazine Zap. The tape featured girlfriend Debbie Polak singing on one song, and co-worker Marc Sonstein programming drums for another. Anderson’s cover of “Chinese Rock” was carted at Drexel University’s 91.7 for regular airplay.

In 1989 Polak and Sonstein joined Anderson as permanent members to form the nucleus of the performing and writing outfit.
