Post Mortem

Remembering John McCarthy, one of Boston’s Metal Pioneers

If you were into the local metal scene in the '80s and '90s, there's a pretty good chance you've heard John McCarthy's intense, anguished vocals accompanying his group, Post Mortem, with their' deep, booming riffs and thumping drum beats.

Marinate

 

Perhaps the most lasting memory of Marinate, the 6-year-old hip-hop night that ends its run this weekend at the Milky Way in Jamaica Plain, has been the flyers.

Cotton Candy

Mark Robinson doesn't drink coffee, but he's meeting me for one today. "This is strong!" he says. Robinson founded the seminal D.C. indie label Teenbeat in the mid '80s, primarily as a vehicle for Unrest, the legendary band he fronted into the mid '90s.

Audrey Ryan

As Thomas Jefferson once said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." No one knows that better than Audrey Ryan.

Big Bear

Don't you just want to strum that guitar every once in a while, I think, watching Big Bear as they rock the stage. Just a big fat C chord once for the kids? But Big Bear's not going to make it easy for you.

Where the Land Meets the Sea

On their recent two-week-long, Where the Land Meets the Sea's drummer Nick Maggiore was taken into police custody in Cincinnati, Ohio, for three hours because he matched the description of a bag snatcher.

The Dejas

The important thing to realize about The Dejas is that they are a duo: Callie and Aaron, Aaron and Callie. Callie Lipton is a breathy songstress on guitar; Aaron Katz is impossibly talented on drums.

Ketman

Considering that the only constant of the Ketman aesthetic is that nothing is constant, it's very possible that, as you read this, the band is evolving beyond the description that I'm putting forth.

[Fidelity] MUFid_1045EverydayvisualsSM

EVERYDAY VISUALS

Boston's Everyday Visuals are on the fast track to success, with an accessible sound drawn from '60s pop, expert harmonies and a group of guys united to make it to the big time.

MOE POPE

"My music is hip-hop," says Moe Pope, lounging on a couch at the Underground Hip Hop store on Huntington Ave.

I just fled the dining room at the hotel because I ruined Texas-shaped waffles for everyone.  I got four hours of sleep last night, and Jess and I just shuffled off for free breakfast like zombies.

Like a cool kid, I slept through my alarm back in Boston yesterday morning, scrambled to finish packing before my last minute cab showed up, and then forked over $40 for said cab to drag my sleepy ass to Logan for my flight to SXSW.
