Boston based indie trio Pregame Rituals have returned with their blasting, brand new single out today called "Devil's Son". The track is an emo infused track, but still maintains its boundaries within the indie realm with remarkable aplomb, and finds the guys basking in their comfort zone and relishing in the moment. The group consists of Georgio Broufas, Drew Pellegrini, and Corey Dineen. You may remember Georgio from his time in Western Education whom I've featured multiple

I was enveloped by the band's sound that was almost hypnotic, and really made me grab onto every note that the band was putting out. The trio

Boston based indie folk quartet The Motivated Sequence have unleashed their brand new single onto the world titled "For The Ages", the first single off their brand new EP "The Matador". The song is a mellow, laid back affair with inviting harmonies and a rich, musical dexterity that is pretty easy to fall head over heels for. If you're not familiar with the foursome of Zach, Guy, Beth, and Christian, you'll definitely become quite familiar with their sound that is reminiscent

Boston based pop singer-songwriter Almost Owen continues to dazzle listeners with his upbeat blend of pop having an impact on listeners, and that trend continues with his new single out now called "From The Outside".

He has been featured on the site before, and I was completely floored and blown aw

Boston based rock outfit Juniper are garnering new fans left and right with their brand new music video for their latest single "Here For The First Time".

Boston indie rockers Rival island released their latest album just last week titled "Year of The Butterfly". The follow up to their 2018 effort "Heroes and Villians" finds the foursome entering more diverse territory, and not simply adhering to the musical script to create a truly dazzling effort that reflects where the guys are at this stage of their professional life.

The album has a plethora of beach rock rhythms that allude to The Beach Boys, but with Jason's own distinct musical personality that dazzles immediately from the outset. You may remember Jason from my post about him a few months on his prior single "The Lizard King" that did a great job of establishing his style and sophistication. On his new album, you get a more

Boston native Jared Lee has teamed up with LA based electro-pop duo Midnight Kids as the featured vocalist on their brand new track titled "Those Were The Days". The song is a dream laden nightscape with Jared's beautiful and brimming vocals having an immediate effect on you upon first listen. I was enthralled with the track from the get-go, and it has that upbeat pop sensibility to reel you in and impress you with some high energy electro-pop charges that is the main special

The song is a vivacious, effervescent tune with high energy melodies and an easy going vibe that will put you in a good mood almost instantaneously. These guys have been featured on the site a couple of times before, and I marveled at how the members all stayed in sync and bounced musical ideas off of each other that works so well together, especially in spur of the moment situations. Frontma

The four-piece consists of Christian Treon, Paul DiRico, Josh Corbin, and Mark Pangilinan.

The duo consists of Rob Kolar and Lauren Brown, who happens to be a native Bostonian also. Their latest single "Touch The Lightning" was released just a couple of weeks ago, and is already generating some serious steam and is starting to ignite the curiosity of listeners near and far.

With the Bruins knee deep in their second round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, I'd thought it would be a good idea to do a music special entirely devoted to the boys in black and gold. The Bruins have had a tremendous year, going 50-20 and finishing second in the Eastern Conference standings and proving a lot of naysayers wrong in the process. The team is still anchored by long time veterans Zdeno Chara and Patrice Bergeron, and young newcomers like Jake DeBe

Boston newbies Rival Island have unleashed their brand spanking new music vid for their song "Let Me Go On". The clip features the duo of frontman and vocalist Tommy Flynn along with Joe Lamonica on drums banging it out in a terrific clip that stretches the band's creative resolve even further.

The NHL Playoffs are here, and what a great time it is as teams will be shedding blood, sweat, and tears all in their quest to hoist the Stanley Cup 2 months from now. To get us all ready for multiple nights of beer and hockey, I thought it would be cool idea to do a run down of the music selections of some of your favorite Bruins players with my in-depth Player Music Special. You may remember the recent slate of specials I did a couple of months ago showcasing the music tast
