This past year we decided to do things a little differently as we approached our year end round up as we felt that a lot of local talent gets overshadowed when we do our annual year ender so instead of doing just one MASSIVE list to include everything that we thought was rad we divided the list in two so that both National and Local acts got time to bask in the glow of their 2023 achievements. With that over, and working out pretty well, we felt the need to do the same when it came to our new year preview so prepare yourselves for the inevitable informing that’s to come in this New England-based look at some of what you can expect from your local faves.
[Read more…]23 For ’23… But Locally! Or “23 MA-Based Bands (And Then Some) You Should Already Be Listening To”
We initially decided to do this in order to alleviate some of the stress of that other ’23 list we have going on but then we cut out the local stuff and decided to go through our archives for the year and what stood out of what we reviewed/featured that came out of Massachusetts…. and came up with an even more massive list. In other words, oops?

It’s your last chance to dance with Linnea’s Garden who will soon be closing up shop for the season! But before you batten down the hatches for a long winter sans live LG to rely on (To be fair, “Last of ’23” so not too long to wait), Boston’s favorite “Garden”-ers will be leaving fans with an EP release show at O’Brien’s on the same day that said new EP drops. You read it right, kids, new music from Linnea’s Garden!

While the recent announcement that the last show of 2023 from the proprietors of Boston’s new Glam Punk scene, Linnea’s Garden, is taking place THIS FRIDAY(11/17) at O’Brien’s is quite the bummer, fans can rest a little easier knowing that not only is more stuff on the way in the new year… but also that by the time LG takes the stage at O’B’s they’ll have had time to aurally consume the newest EP entitled Mirrors (Which arrives earlier on the 17th) over and over and over again. That said, if you’re at the show don’t make us look silly, do your homework, and be ready to sing those words back at the trio when they take the stage!
[Read more…]Ruby Grove: A Rock And Roll Fables Conversation
We are lucky enough to live in a town where you can walk outside your door on the daily and practically bump into an artist making killer music. That said, and with a scene so seemingly bursting with talent, it’s sometimes hard to differentiate who you should pay attention to which is where we come in occasionally to act as a guide to help you find who stands out from the rest.
[Read more…]Bandcamp Breakdown: Linnea’s Garden
What is not to love about Linnea’s Garden?!?! Like a phoenix, Linnea’s Garden was borne out of the pandemic with a lust for life, a love of all the musics, and the generosity to share that gift with all of us. From their Bandcamp page for debut full-length Fashion Show they’re described as “post punk to indie rock to disco to grunge” which is pretty gotDamn accurate but what it doesn’t state is just how good they are at tackling and combining all those genres as seemingly effortlessly as they do!
