From the Granite State in Newmarket, NH comes the musical warmth of Sneaky Miles, who will be returning to the Boston area on Thur. Feb. 26 at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, where they'll be joined by Jon Nolan & Good Company. The band have been like family to me here on the site ever since first meeting them at Summit Indie Fest back in 2021 and both interviewing and featuring them on the site multiple times over since then. The band's sound is an indie-folk blend reminiscent o

Originally hailing from Connecticut but currently residing in Nashville comes the alt-country vibe of Joshua Quimby, who released a stunning tribute performance vid for Drake Maye and the New England Patriots a couple of weeks ago that went viral. The song doesn't have an official title, but a proper one can be called "In Maye We Believe". In the video Josh collaborates with Avry Truex, another Nashville based country artist to create a stunning clip that combines poetic lyri

Allston indie surf/psych rock outfit Today Junior are prepping for a big local gig happening on Fri. 1/30 at Mid East Upstairs in Camrbidge, where they'll be joined by Duunes and Fo Daniels. The band are mainstays here on the site and need no introduction whatsoever as Mike, Harry and Hannah have been grinding all throughout the scene for well over a decade, dating back to when I first happened upon them at Copperfields near Fenway where I immediately feel in love with them,

From the North Shore in Newburyport, MA comes the surf infused sounds of Dune Dogs, who are back to kick off the year with their brand new single out just last week titled "She Don't Mind". The song has a heavy 311 styled influence with serene melodies and a more toned down aesthetic from their prior releases that shows a different side of the band that we haven't had the opportunity to experience before. I've been huge admirers of the fellas for some time now, dating back to

You may remember James from his work with Bonsai Trees and also as the bassist years ago for Manic Pixi where I first discovered him. On his new solo venture, James's delicate and beautiful voice runs rampant in the musical breeze and ta

The time is dwindling down for the year, and that means it's time to take a look back at my annual rundown of my favorite albums and songs from the past year. It was a huge comeback year for pop-punk with The Starting Line's first album in 18 years "Eternal Youth" marking a return to the form for the Drive Thru Records veterans. Yellowcard made a huge return to the mid 00's with their brand new LP "Better Days" further cementing their timeless and nostaglia fueled sound that

Originally hailing from the Lone Star State in Dallas, TX and based in Nashville comes the pure country sounds of Troy Cartwright, who has released his latest opus into the world today titled "Whiskey Ginger". The song is a calming, passionate number with Troy's thunderous and melodic voice working its magic immediately upon contact, and takes listeners on a musical trip that you'll never want to return back from. I've known Troy for well over a decade now, and he traces his

Boston based producer/multi-instrumentalist Owen Korzec has released his stunning and captivating solo single to the world today titled "Clarity In A Cage". The song is a breathtaking, ethereal tune with Owen's marvelous and pristine vocal abilities clearly put on display for the listener to marvel over and draw their own conclusions from. Owen is a close friend of mine having worked with my other good pal Henry Merit on some of his own music, and I had no idea that he was a

Ace Enders, frontman for the NJ emo-rock pioneers The Early November has released his brand new solo album to the world today called "Posture Syndrome". The disc is a dizzying, endless display of gentle, heartfelt acoustic ballads that touch the heartstrings, and Ace's cooing, calming voice that works wonders instantly upon impact. I've been a fan of Ace's since my high school years with his band's instant classic "I Want To Hear You Sad" among one of my anthems that still br
