Gojira, Devin Townsend Project
& The Atlas Moth

Perhaps the heaters were malfunctioning at the Palladium, but a cold night was soon warmed a bit by a trio of heavy bands. Like a river of sludge, opening act The Atlas Moth’s set flowed from one song into the next. The slow shoegaze/metal sound of the band seemed an odd mix when compared to the bands that followed them on the bill, but stranger things have happened. Read more

The 25th Annual Boston Music Awards – Show in Review

The 25th Annual Boston Music Awards

The scene was rife with sequins and faux leather at the 25th annual Boston Music Awards, held festival-style in the Liberty Hotel, all proceeds from the show benefitting the non-profit local organization MusicDrivesUs.Org.  While trying to navigate to the different concert rooms in this prison-turned-hotel sometimes felt like weaving through an Escher painting, the acts ran the gamut and made the foot traffic well-worth enduring.

CD Review: Wilderun / Olden Tales & Deathly Trails

Wilderun
Olden Tales & Deathly Trails
Reviewed by: B. Cross

Boston’s own Wilderun stand apart from their folk metal contemporaries due to their adherence to American folk tales rather than the much more common European legends. Their debut record Olden Tales & Deathly Trails encapsulates this both in terms of melody and lyrics; many of their themes are lifted from early American folk songs and naval legends. Read more

The Paradise – Boston, MA
Reviewed by: Dorise Gruber

When I comb the lists of bands coming to town, I scour not only for headliners, but always try to peep the openers, just in case.  An all-ages Motion City Soundtrack show would not normally be the first thing to catch my eye, but when I scoped Now, Now tucked away on the bill, I immediately jumped at the chance to see these Minnesota wunderkinds.
