2014, you just wanted to get weird from the get go. Weird in a very good way with surprise releases and collaborations that had strokes of genius. And locally, you saw a lot of bands in Providence really make their mark all over New England. As with every year, you also had a few albums […]
Don’t you hate when you see someone on TV, or even worse, on the street, and can’t quite place from where you know them? We start running through the alphabet in our head, hoping to hit upon their name. We flip through our cerebral Rolodex. Maybe we went to school with them? Maybe they work […]
Let’s do this! I’m excited and proud to write alongside DJ OSHEEN. First, the introductions. I happen to be a proud member of the one-and-only Tight Crew. I was there before they threw their seminal Mario Party back in 2008. Seriously, the Crew is responsible for numerous friendships I’ve forged over the last seven years, […]

Littlefoot – Night of The Living Dreams On their new release, Night of The Living Dreams, Littlefoot offer up a stash of classic pop. Littlefoot sound like a dreamy ’60s girl group being performed by a ’90s indie band with ’80s Brit-Pop thrown in for a garnish. I always say to watch out for those […]
When you think of the music of New Orleans, the obvious route you’ll take will be delving into The Big Easy’s rich history of jazz and brass bands. Well, there’s a spectacular duo from there with a new album out that sounds nothing like Jelly Roll Morton or your high school marching band. Psychedelic math […]
Halestorm recently came through New England and played the Worcester Palladium on Nov 29. The show was nothing short of amazing. Frontwoman Lzzy Hale was on fire with her incredible vocal range as well as her ability to lay down awesome guitar riffs with the forefathers of hard rock. Opening the set was their hard […]
