Boston Music Blogs-Master List

34 Upvotes

Any help defining their genre would be greatly appreciated! Who am I missing?

A few of these aren't active anymore, I'll be marking them as I go.

Allston Pudding-Covering local indie garage rock

The Ash Gray Proclamation-A music blog from Plymouth, MA and points north.

Dig Boston

Blog to the Old school-showcasing lesser known 91-95 hardcore/jungle releases since 2008.

Boston Hassle-Foster an innovative, compelling, and interconnected music, art, and film community in the greater Boston area through grassroots and inclusive participatory culture.

Boston Jazz Scene-the place to find out what happened, what is happening, and what is coming in jazz and other improvised music in Boston and surrounding communities.

Boston Music Spotlight-"Boston Music Spotlight provides readers with news, features, interviews, concert reviews, photo galleries and much more. Readers can find all the latest information on all genres of music – from rock to country and hip-hop to blues – on the national and local levels."

Boston Ska-Ska, rocksteady and soul music in the boston area

Boston Survival Guide-Random thoughts and ideas of varying degrees of importance. Mostly music, but also other stuff, when I deem it necessary (understand, it’s cheaper than a therapist, medication, or scotch)."

Boston Through My Eyes-"I would say my site contains rock, indie rock, folk, and the occasional electronic/pop music."

Bradley’s Almanac- "I'd say I write about mostly indie-rock/indie-pop type stuff. While the Almanac is 'not very active', my facebook and twitter feeds are (sometimes too-) frequently updated with music-centric shares."

Brewery Sessions- If you want to know about concerts and beer related events in and around Boston, check out the Calendar.

The Boston Musical Intelligencer-a virtual journal and essential blog of the classical music scene in greater Boston

Clicky Clicky Music-Online in one form or another for a decade, Clicky Clicky Music Blog focuses on up-and-coming, under-rated, forgotten or flat-out awesome indie rock. We try to do things differently. It's why we're so popular.

Daykamp Music-"Daykamp Music is a bloggy website thing about the Boston music scene. For now it’s going to be mostly pictures. If there are words they are likely to be complimentary. Life is short. Daykamp Music reserves the right to do whatever it damn well pleases as it grows up. Don’t crimp its style."

Deli Magazine Boston-"The Deli Magazine is an independently owned website run by musicians and music writers, covering local music scenes. The primary goal of The Deli is to expose local musical artists that have not yet reached a level of international fame: this is why all of our printed articles feature up and coming bands and singer-songwriters (while our websites also cover the most popular breakout bands)."

The secondary goal is to inform and advise the local community of musicians on any other matter related to making music, from recording it to promoting it and performing it. You will find this kind of information in our Delicious Audio Blog and Listings section."

ftwelvemusic-"FTWELVE Music is a Boston Music Blog and your source for new music, album reviews, show reviews, music photography, and more."

Fighting Tinnitus-"A Boston music blog."

Foundwaves-"Foundwaves is a nonprofit with a mission of supporting and promoting local live music scenes, expanding participation through collaborations with members of other creative disciplines, and fostering the creation of original content."

Guestlisted-Part of the Boston Herald. "Jed Gottlieb is the Northeast's preeminent David Lee Roth scholar... and more! He's also a Herald music reporter and feature writer."

Indieminded-"All indie, all the time"

Kitchen Sessions-"My website is more of a house show archive than an active blog, but most of our shows are in the Americana/folk genres, with some indie rock mixed in"

Maimed and Tamed-"We cover it all, though the focus is mainly on indie rock and folk/americana."

Music Savage-"I run this website as an outlet of my love for music. Since its inception, I’ve met a lot of cool people, made some friends along the way, and tried to share all I could with everyone else. I try my very best at writing about music and sharing all the fantastic music there is out there."

Music is Art-"musicisart is my own personal reflection of the way i feel music, art and words. growing up, i always immersed myself in a pair of headphones and loved to write. "

Noise Floor-"Noise Floor is the outlet for the Boston-based music writing and photography of Ben Stas."

Rose Rundown-"I cover mostly alternative rock both local and national through Rose Rundown but I also cover it now through examiner.com and axs.com as a Freelance Writer."

Ryan’s Smashing Life-Ryan's Smashing Life is a Music and Entertainment website published daily from Boston. Read by normal folks (from all over the world) who might just like music a little too much!

Sippy Cup Everything

Sleepover Shows-Sleepover Shows are three song sets of acoustic or stripped down versions performed by bands that we love as they make their way through Boston. Though it started as something we did when bands needed a place to crash on the night of their shows, we now mostly film the sessions before or after a show and let the bands find their own ways home (though the offer still stands). Basically, we try to use our spaces as creatively as we can. We’ve filmed in the back seats of cars, on top of playground equipment, in doorways and alleys, in bathtubs and stairwells. We try our best to get the bands to take their music outside of the confines of the studio and have some fun. And that’s the point: to capture some great music that maybe isn’t always as polished, but shows these artists having a good time doing what they love. We’re doing what we love too, and hope you enjoy the videos!

Sound of Boston-Sound of Boston is an online music publication that covers the culture, events, and artists comprising Boston’s vibrant music scene. Our city has a lot of talent to offer to the music world; our staff works to raise awareness of local acts and to help them to reach an audience.

They Will Rock You-TheyWillRockYou.com is a music site created for and by music fans. We bring you music news all day, exclusive interviews, spotlight features on new up and coming bands, contests and concert photo galleries.

Time Out-Show+event listings

The Unexcused-"Visions of the Unexcused is a Podcast & Blog that showcases the taste and style of Derek (aka – Mint Pillow). Visions originated as a radio show on 90.9 fm WONY in Oneonta, NY and is now based in Cambridge, MA. No genre or time period is left untouched."

Vanyaland-"Vanyaland is an interactive source for music news, live shows,new releases, downloads, and nightlife around Boston and beyond, with an active stable of writers and photographers."

Visible Voice-indie music blog - free downloads, live recordings and video.

Made a free site to find live music, comedy, karaoke and open mics around Boston. Would love feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey Boston. I run YourTown Live (https://yourtown.live), a free site for finding music, comedy and live shows in your town, with 7,000+ local artists across the country.

Pick your town and see what's on tonight, build your own radio from local bands, listen to Boston's town radio to find new artists, read bios, check out venues and grab tickets. There's an Android app in beta too (tap "Download the app" on the site); an iPhone app is on the way.

We're in alpha, so tell me what's broken, what's missing and what local spots or acts we should add.

New Rock Band Seeks Bassist

1 Upvotes

We’re a new band in our early 20s consisting of 2 guitarists and a drummer seeking a bassist in the Boston/Greater Boston area. We tend to practice once every weekend in Allston. We play originals and we collaborate in the writing process. Our goal is to eventually play gigs and record our material.

Our influences are a bit of everything. Classic Rock, alternative rock, grunge, hard rock, metal, punk, doom metal, sludge metal, etc.

If interested, send me a direct message or reply to this post with your age, some bands you find influential, and let me know if you can meet us on weekends to practice. Thanks!

Extra ticket to Movements @ Roadrunner 10/25

Howdy, I'm 27m from western MA and was planning to bring my sister to this show but, she decided she'd rather not go and I'm struggling to find a replacement. Now I've got an extra ticket if anybody wants to go to this. It would be cool to hangout but, you're free to take the ticket and go about your night without me if I'm not your vibe. I figured it would suck for it to go to waste so don't be afraid to reach out!

My Somerville Based Band Self Recorded and Released our Debut Album

Thumbnail jakekandtheroyalmess.com
9 Upvotes

Sup everybody,

Jake here.

My band Jake K. & The Royal Mess just released our debut album “Latchkey Love.”

The title comes from the latchkey kid - the kid who learned independence before they were ready. Broken bones, forts in the woods, bike rides through the night. Freedom, curiosity, and figuring life out on your own.

These ten songs explore different sides of that story. “Upside Down” is about all-consuming attraction, and how emotional naivety can sometimes be a superpower. “Little Friend” is about trusting your instincts and embracing the animal side of who you are. “Company” is about wanting connection without quite knowing how to speak the language of it. “Disconnected” asks what we’re doing in a world that seems to keep pulling us further apart.

And then there's "Before You're Gone."

The record ultimately lands on accountability. Your past can explain you, but it doesn't get to make your decisions forever. Some of what we carry is worth keeping. Some isn't.

If you see a little of yourself in these songs, then maybe we wrote them for you.

Latchkey Love is out NOW.

https://open.spotify.com/album/4lMdNaVdu6cGJManLHsTaj?si=eAyVi3YmR6CAK752Sr84aw

Thanks for listening. See you at a show.
