Philly based psychedelia rockers Needle Points are gearing up to launch a Spring tour in support of their forthcoming studio effort "Feel Young". The group have vivacious musical personalities to complement their immense talents on record, which shows a harmonic balance and a bevy of the aforementioned psych influences to create a truly potent and intoxicating musical concoction. These guys really hit me from the get-go, and they have a special musical connection that is forg

The Boston based psych rock quartet known as Bat House have just released a brand new video clip for the song "Patterns" that was filmed as part of Berklee College of Music's "Live @ Berklee" series that MusicBoxPete is proud to be a part of. The clip features the band performing amidst a psychedelic backdrop that melds in together beautifully with the band's brilliant melodies that are just bursting at the seams as they begin playing. I'm not familiar with these guys at all,

Locally grown psychedelic rockers Violet Intent are gearing for a record release performance this weekend @ Out of The Blue Too art gallery on Mass Ave. in Cambridge that promises to be an electrifying affair for fans looking to get their music fix on Easter weekend. The guys have a unique, stylistic garage/psych rock hybrid that has their own unique spin put on things for good measure and gives the surrounding musical textures a balance that will allow the listener to see th

In college my lyric writing professor told us, “don’t take it as a compliment when someone says you have a good voice.” His reasoning was that if the focus is on our playing, it’s not on our songs, and is therefore superficial. Sort of a “pretty building without a strong foundation” kinda thing. Or like a really jacked dude at the gym who benches 350 and has tiny little baby legs. I would challenge that professor by playing him this god damn amazing album - Excelsior by Bosto

Excited to bring to you today an interview with Brooklyn based psychedelic rockers Monogold, who will be stopping by Atwood's Tavern in Cambridge this coming Wednesday, February 3rd. The guys have a spaced out, luxurious vibe complete with stunning instrumentation, breathtaking stage presence, and a strong musical sensibility about them that will keep your eyes and ears locked and squarely focused on them. Frontman Keith Kelly was nice enough to devote some time while preppin

Buffalo based indie trio Sleepy Hahas have just premiered their all new music video for the song "Deep River" from their forthcoming studio release, From The Bottom Of A Warm Lake. The video is a psychedelic lovers delight coupled with weird animation and bizarre melodies that work well with the random imagery appearing on screen that will definitely raise a few eyebrows for those viewing this clip. The guys played O'Brien's in Allston just last week, and it was definitely a

Hailing from the Gangwon province of South Korea, Language of Shapes have an otherwordly sound on their brand new single titled "Stitches". The song uses a bevy of tribal beats based upon psychedelia infused instrumentation and a sonic wavelength like no other that totally makes sense the more you listen to it. I was a little taken aback when I first heard this track seeing as I didn't understand it at all, but the more I listened to the track, the more it made sense to me as

Boston's own gleaming punk-rock sensations Zip Tie Handcuffs are getting ready to hit the stage with some of their local homies in Midriffs and Black Beach for a happening show this Friday at The Cantab Lounge in Cambridge. I've had the pleasure of checking out Zip Tie Handcuffs in concert before, and trust me they deliver a show like no other with straightforward, deep cutted punk rock rhythms that get through to an audience like no other band can. The other bands on the bil

Artist Spotlight is back with a look at Brisbane, Queensland Australia's own neo-psychedelia rockers Moses Gunn Collective! The band consists of Aidan Moore on lead vocals and guitar, Samuel Sargent on drums, Alex Mitchell on bass, and Lewis Stephenson on guitar. The band's sound is a dream laced, hypnotic blend of psych-rock that hearkens back to the late 60's Woodstock hippie era full of wild childs and unrelenting passion and enthusiasm for music and everything associated
