There’s a few artists we’ve come across over the years that, when the announcement of new music of any sort arrives, we automatically start a draft or add the album or tune to a usually already in progress year end list because what they’ve created thus far is just that damn good. Lowell’s Tysk Tysk Task is quickly becoming one of those artists for us and following January’s release of “Intolerable”, we were inclined to go that route with new single “Trazodone”. And not to toot our own methods but upon actually hearing the new jam in full, we can’t see any reason why TTT wouldn’t maintain that status from now on.

The fiery enigma that is Lowell’s Tysk Tysk Task is an artist that’s just as compelling now as when we first heard them and even more so when you factor in the visual element surrounding the mystique (Read: Get to a Tysk Tysk Task show!) After a relatively quiet year on the recording front, but definitely not on the live front with multiple appearances during the 2023 Rock & Roll Rumble resurrection among other shows throughout last year, Tysk Tysk Task kicked off 2024 by not only unveiling a brand new song featuring the fresh new TTT lineup band but also with the recent announcement that the band would be taking part in this year’s annual Boston Calling music festival appearing on Day 3 of the stacked lineup which also features Killers, Megan Thee Satllion, Hozier & more over Memorial Day weekend from May 24th through May 26th.

It’s too early to have a “Song Of The Year”, right? How about “Song Of The Year” contender? Because Lowell’s Tysk Tysk Task just upped the game and their game considerably with what they’re about to drop.

Sometimes when choosing to review almost every single ahead of an incoming EP/LP can present a problem down the road when the actual album is ready to drop. For one thing, how does it all fit in? Will those songs only stand out because they’re “the singles”? Or will the release sound disjointed when filled with songs already out to the masses which could potentially swallow up what’s in between those tentpoles? Luckily, when it comes to Boston’s Paper Tigers, though, that whole argument/point is moot as the strength of each and every song on debut release Charmer stands out regardless of if it was released previously. And together, they make for one unstoppable record.

We cannot say enough good things about Paper Tigers. They blew us away with their performance at the revived Rock & Roll Rumble earlier in the year, have been delivering some solid singles recently, and have an upcoming new full-length that is easily becoming one of our most anticipated releases of 2023. Obviously, we have some words to share about our excitement and also give you some more reasons to check them out when they play In Between Days on Day 1 of the festival which happens at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy on August 19th & 20th!
