It’s been a pretty solid week for some of my favorite local acts. Each of them has been profiled on Popblerd before-and if you haven’t given these folks a listen yet, you definitely need to correct that! Last Friday, I was fortunate enough to catch Bad Rabbits at a wild, sold out Brighton Music Hall show. There’s been a solid buzz around these guys for a while now, their album Stick Up Kids has been in heavy rotation at Blerd HQ ever […]

Who the Hell Are…Harbor Lights?
Aside from being the name of a pretty awesome Boz Scaggs song, Harbor Lights is also the name of a cool post-rock band from Boston.

CYN? It’s the Latest JAM from Halston!
Been waiting for a new single from dancey Boston duo Halston? Well, wait no longer, because their new single “CYN” has just made it’s debut.

Next Thursday on April 28th at noon, volunteer at the Somerville […]
Boston Music Alert: Get Yer RIBS (The Band, Not the Food) Here!
How happening are RIBS right now? They’re one of the finalists for Best New Act in Boston in this year’s Boston Phoenix-sponsored Best Music of 2011 poll. How happening are Ribs right now? They’re about to embark on a tour of the East Coast that will take them from Beantown all the way to Athens, Georgia. In order to fund said tour, they’ve created a nifty little limited-edition tee shirt. They’re selling these shirts on their website (helpfully linked above), and […]
