Can we just plaster this post with the weeping emoji? Or the heartbreaking one? Because who can choose between these artists?? Same goes for each night but this is the first night where 3 out of the 4 entrants have been gushed upon by us fairly recently (That said, is it shitty to link to our own reviews when talking about tonight’s artists because we’ve got some built in posts is all…) so it’s fair to say we’re coming in a little biased as to why this night might be our favorite of all the preliminary rounds. And with that, let’s dissect what’s happening over at Middle East Upstairs on Thursday, April 13th:

We’re just about halfway there… through the preliminary round, that is! But you don’t care, right? Because you’re still amped? Still hyped? Still excited that there’s so many artists to experience from this killer roster that Anngelle Wood and Boston Emissions has compiled for your earholes??? Well, we’re still excited and on that note, howzabout we dig in and see what Night 3 (Happening Saturday, April 8th at the Middle East Upstairs) has in store for us (Spoiler alert-It’s the most diverse night so far!):

And we’re back at it again breaking down who you’ll be witnessing and rooting for on the second night of the Rock And Roll Rumble comeback tour. We already tackled the first four artists but if you want the complete collection then head here to read the grand intro. As for Night 2 which happens on April 7th at Middle East Upstairs, you’re in for the following:
[Read more…]Singles! Answerman, “No Complaints”
Somewhere in these pages we’ve ranted about the perfect running order of any given record (AKA keys to a successful album) stating that the first song has to be either some kind of banger/explosive track or that lead single that hooks all the ears in the first place. But that second track is the one that’s the most important because it needs to make sure that those ears stay glued to their speakers. It has to be louder, faster, hit harder than the opener or at least be diverse enough that the already piqued interest stays that way. Soundgarden has been our template for this theory especially their last two studio records but we apply it everywhere. In regards to Answerman’s upcoming full-length Black Light Poster and the soon-to-drop second single/track in particular? This Boston quartet has the formula in the bag.

We’re doing it because we are HYPED that the Rock And Roll Rumble is finally back. We’re also hyped that more than a handful of artists that are part of this year’s class have graced our pages in some way, shape, or form! Regardless of the reasons: HYPED! Boston Emissions’ own Anngelle Wood has once again masterfully curated a class of 24 talented artists from the Bay State and surrounding areas who will face off 4 at a time across 6 nights at the Middle East Upstairs beginning on April 6th before moving next door to Sonia for 2 Semi-Final rounds and eventually culminating there on May 6th where a final 3 will duke it out sonically to determine the 2023 champ. Whoo! Are you HYPED???
[Read more…]Ohhms Celebrate Art Rawk, Sludge, And More On Riotous Rot
It’s too early to pick favorites of the year, right? No? Because it’s our blog and we can do whatever we want? Sounds good to us because OHHMS’ latest record, Rot, is a must for music fans in 2023. In one case of Spotify actually working for the artist, we were belatedly turned onto the UK quintet after many a playthrough of the newest Poison Ruin singles (Off Harvest, out April 14th, review due soon…) resulted in some random tunes following and from there we were hooked after barely hearing a few bars off tracks on their 2020 release, Close (Go listen to that here right now). Imagine our surprise that the follow-up was imminent to boot!

Crisp, concise and filled with a lust for life, the newest release from New Hampshire’s Robotic Hawks is a fun-filled sonic journey that debuts some new originals along with a cover of Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers’ classic “I’m Not Your Man” so strap in!
[Read more…]Singles! Gozu, “Tom Cruise Control”
2023 is not letting up in terms of big returns and for Boston heavy music fans, it doesn’t get much bigger than Gozu who return with “Tom Cruise Control”, the quartet’s first new piece of music in over 5 years ahead of a new record due in May.
[Read more…]Singles! Sunshine Riot, “Room To Moan”
By the time Sunshine Riot’s upcoming Loud, Bright and Violent EP rolls around in April we’ll be able to fill our review with hyperlinks for all the preview tracks we’ve already posted about… or just compose a brand new novel on the sure-to-be banger collection of tunes.

If you’re gonna go out then you may as well go out with a bang, right? Well, the soon-to-be-departing Project 86 is finishing up their storied run with a legacy solidifying slab of material that begins on OMNI Part 1 which is the closest one can get to recreating that first time you heard the Orange County outfit. Is it a religious experience? Possibly. A defining one? Most definitely.
