Tonight at 7 ET on WPRB, Idolator Holiday Music Correspondent Jon Solomon has a very special edition of his weekly radio show that features brand-new live sets by the scorching Brooklyn band Obits, the rad New Jersey outfit Screaming Females, the ever-charming Spinto Band, the spirited outfit Danielson, and the old-school Philly indie act Caterpillar.
