Track Stars
With an impressive list of bands on his musical resume, John Davis is no stranger to the DC music scene. When the band known as Georgie James ended there was no time for mourning. Focusing on eclectic and pop oriented tunes, Davis quickly sought to put the right people together to create a new band, Title Tracks.

High Tea with The Petticoat Tea Room
Who knew that the DC/MD area could claim home to not one, but two Petticoat Tea Rooms? Fans of the first–an actual tea room located in Baltimore–are primarily men and women whom enjoy sipping tea and nibbling on finger sandwiches. Fans of the second–a local band that (other than name, origin, and a passion for hot beverages) has little in common with said room–are primarily men and women whom enjoy an invigorating blend of alt-rock, alt-country, Americana, and just a nibble of ambient electronica. The latter, of course, is much more DoS’s taste.
Welcome the New Dynasty
Is it true that one has to be born into royalty to be considered an heir to the throne? The members of U.S. Royalty, who do not come with blue blood pedigrees, are quickly establishing a new rule that is spreading well beyond DC. The band offers listeners a wonderfully delicious blend of pulsating instrumentals, memorable harmonies and rich vocals reminiscent of songs from Passion Pit and Wolf Parade.

I Pledge Allegiance…
Possibly one of the best things about DC is its transient nature. In a nation founded on the heterogeneous philosophy of bringing “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses” into the arms of Lady Liberty, its capital is the epitome of the melting pot our nation grew up as and into. What band could represent the District — filled with such an assortment of life and culture — better than These United States?

Rattle and Roll!
The band evokes the hard rocking spirit of years past awakening more than just a trivial nostalgia in listeners. At first Rattler seems like a parody band in the vein of Spinal Tap. However, the illusion quickly gives way through their music to reveal their love and passion for enjoyable and insanely catchy hard rock songs.
