Band In Boston

Angly, funky, eminently danceable. From NYC, Jupiter One is one of those bands that I’m surprised I haven’t gotten sick of hearing everywhere. I suppose that’s a good thing. Give it time. And just to further blow your mind, lead singer/guitarist K actually sings while playing a violin on the first track. Listen to it […]

I was having camera problems that day. I actually got it straightened out and ended up with some perfectly clear photos. But really, this is much more interesting – and I think it better represents the swirly, layered sound of Guillermo Sexo. Dig it. They’re at the Middle East this Sunday! Song List: Put Your […]

Two guys that manage to make more noise with an acoustic guitar and a mini drumkit than your average nuclear test. But look past the bombast and you’ll hear that it is a precision-guided bombing campaign. Scalpel-sharp beats and breaks combined with a guitar style that somehow sounds like 3 playing at once makes for […]

Township comes back to lay down some brand new tunes, both from their album that you can buy at their CD release party this Friday at TT’s, and some that are even newer than that. This also marks our debut on thephoenix.tv! We’ve teamed up with the Boston Phoenix to start putting some of these […]

There are a lot of great shows this week, but the one we’re spastically happy about is the CD release party for the Family Township. I know, you’re shocked. Featuring Mean Creek, Via Audio, Evangelicals, Headlights, This Car Up, Township (well duh), Age Rings, Band Marino, The Life Adventure, Foreign Born, Salt and Samovar, Windy […]

Mean Creek was a side project of Chris and Aurora from Age Rings, but has grown to be a force to be reckoned with in its own right. Here they are from over a year ago when these songs were just peeking out from the soil. They play with The Dead Trees at O’Brien’s this […]

These guys remind me a bit of Sprites or Of Montreal – quirky tongue-in-cheek songs about love lost and the Konami Code. They’re headlining Church this Wednesday. This session was recorded back when we were in our infancy – the mini mini drumkit was in full effect and we only had a 5 channel mixing […]

The Dead Trees rose from the ashes of Furvis about a year ago. Since then, they’ve toured with Albert Hammond Jr from the Strokes and moved to Oregon. They’re back in town this Wednesday at O’Brien’s, so show them some true hometown love, and rock your face off in the process. Song List: I Have, […]

The Lights Out finish up their residency at The Abbey Lounge this Tuesday – go pack that joint! Song list: Last Hurrah Stormy in Love Miss Fortune Make Me Money or Time

We’re back with some great bands to check out this week! Featuring Cherryaxe, Hundred Years War, Streight Angular, Beasts of England, Noel Vickery, Abolition Band, Tulsa, Pepi Ginsberg, Magic Magic, Bear Hands, Abigail Warchild, Bottle Up and Go, and The Octagon.

With a blend of styles that bring to mind The Police, Interpol, The Press, and several other bands that we love, you just can’t go wrong with The Peasantry. They are playing tonight at Great Scott. Soon you’ll also be able to see the video of this session on unsignedartists.com – we’ll let you know […]

From Cincinnati, Pearlene oozed soul all over our living room. We sent them the cleaning bill. Song List: Now that Everyone’s Gone Crazy Faces Two Crescents Chinese Backbone Leave Me Nowhere

Our living room is still smoldering from the lush sonic assault that is Broken River Prophet. Bear witness. Song List: Chemical Solitaire New York City Black Lashes Sunrise City Girl Suicide (by Brian Jonestown Massacre) Alec

ER is the first member of the BiB 5 Timers Club. He has been here before with The Beatings, Get Help, E Adams, and for a previous stint as himself. The hits just keep on coming with this guy. Song List: Black History Month Burn, MF The Deal Breaker (version II) Lexington, KY This Conspiracy […]

Tom came in a few months back with his band The Shout Abouts. This time he comes back solo as Sodafrog, and takes us on a cover-filled journey through some of his influences. Song List: Theresa (by Dennis Brennan) Olive Wine These Follish Things (by Billie Holiday) Just Because You Can (Doesn’t Mean You Should) […]

It is officially too damn cold. Warm your piggies up with some steaming hot tunes. Featuring Action Camp, Brendan Murphy, Wide Iris, Guillermo Sexo, Me and Joan Collins, Soda Frog, Frank Hoier, Side Scroller, and The Woodrow Wilsons.

Yes yes y’all. We can’t tell you how much we love this band. They’re one of those bands that make you want to curse a lot. They’re playing tonight at Emergency Music‘s EP release show at Great Scott! Song List: On With the Show Let it Go Little Dirty Angel Easier I Can Do Anything […]

More flavorful than a TurDuckEn, and packs more of a wallop than triptophan! As Andy gets loopy on cold medicine, we bring you another helping of great tunes, featuring The Soft Drugs, The Self Righteous Brothers, Viva Viva, The Jealous Girlfriends, Beatbeat Whisper, Ash Reiter, Beasts of England, and The Redwalls.  Save your fork, there’s […]

New York’s Aeroplane Pageant are playing tonight at Great Scott. Keep your eye on these guys – I tells ya, they’re going places.

The writers went and struck on us. Two and a Half Men just won’t hold together in its usual Shakespearian fashion. The entire entertainment community is at its knees. Luckily, we don’t write a damn thing down before we start recording, so we’re all cool. This week features Scissors for Lefty, Sea Wolf, Viva Viva, […]
