Last night's b-sides featured Reilly, a Christian rock band from Philly with a good sound and a great live show. Dueling violins provide the most immediate standout, but are not over-used or gimmicky. Frontman John Reilly's vocals are augmented by up to 4 part harmonies throughout, resting easily on top of a soulful, pop-rock instrumental that is familiar without being trite. Covers of everything from the "Once" soundtrack to Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth", along with the band's original material, had the audience singing and clapping along, especially during the more interactive portions of the show. Here's a video of them doing their closing instrumental jam:
